Arroyo Elementary School
My child use to attend Arroyo, and I must say it is an Excellent school. The teachers are wonderful and tough. They believed children have the ability to learn. The teachers my child had from first to 3rd grade were very professional. This is an academic school. They really want your child to thrive and work hard. The world is tough so the teachers prepare your child for realistic challenges. My child goes to a Magnet school now, but she was more challenged at Arroyo. She learned so much at Arroyo that 4th grade is a "breeze," and she's learning a lot of stuff she learned in 3rd grade. Thank you!
