    We have had 3 children at Sierra View and all have had excellent teachers. The band and choir programs and school plays offer an even greater opportunity for students to develop talents along with PE experiences. This school is committed to excellence and rewards children for doing well academically as well as those who excel in reading arts and athletics.

    Sierra View is an excellent school with dedicated teachers who not only teach and guide but prepare students for life. My daughter began Sierra View the first year it opened and will be leaving it for Jr. High this year. She has been taught how to learn help teach and lead from the staff and teachers at Sierra View and we will miss this school and it's environment. KJ

    It is a great school with engaged faculty. Everyone of my kids has had great teachers who are not just trying to teach the kids but also to develop them to be great kids with good socialization skills.

    Everyone at our school is one big family. The PTC is very involved and offers many activities for our students.

    Sierra View seems more like an extended family atmosphere than a place to go to work. The Parent Teacher Club is active creative and welcomes others to join their organization. They work tirelessly to provide opportunities for the students and resources for the staff. The administration has high expectations for student achievement and behavior and is supportive to the classroom teachers.

    Our school is a place where children can feel cared for and where learning is an everyday goal. All of the staff and parents are there for the children in a warm involved concerned way. There's laughter and humor but there are also expectations and standards. Children grow and learn as staff members and parents observe with pride!

    Office staff has very unacceptable atitude toward the 'other-parent'!! They need to learn the law and how to conduct a professional workplace. The teaching staff is well above average!!! Outstanding. Don't be fooled staff by manipulating fathers!

    I have 2 children that have gone to Sierra View Elementary since it opened. It's a wonderful school. The teachers and staff are very positive and excited about educating our kids. Our motivated teachers combined with very supportive parents and an incredible administrations make Sierra View Elementary a truly outstanding school.

    My three kids (1st-4th) have attended Sierra View Elementary school since it first opened in 2005. The school has an outstanding PTC that actively puts on fundraisers school plays family fun nights and book fairs. Since it first opened the school's jogathon has exceeded its fundraisng target every year! Sierra View was also a recent CA Distinguished School award recipient. From administrators to teachers to staff to parent volunteers they all work together to provide a positive learning and nurturing environment for their students. Sierra View is a wonderful school because it goes beyond teaching the required curriculum but also provides many enrichment programs (e.g. music choir GATE Ag Day) to help our students become more well-rounded individuals. I give Sierra View 5 out of 5 stars!

    Staff has poor communication with both parents very one sided

    My daughter has attended the school since it opened. We feel fortunate that she was able to be part of this school's beginnings because the teachers and faculty are committed to the education of the children. Mrs. Alvey is one of the most dedicated teachers I have ever come across in the K-6 system. I wish the teachers in California were rewarded/paid based on the performance of themselves and their students. I feel this school would a benefit to any child in the Oakdale School District.

    This is the first year my children grades 1 and 2 have attended Sierra View and I am thrilled with the school. All of the staff is very freindly and helpful. I can not say enough great things about this school. They do have a great PTC and the students reap the benefits! Thank you for everyone who had made are transition to this school so great.

    Sierra View has become an excellent school with so many opportunities and programs to enhance our children's education. In addition to high leadership by the Administration the teachers and staff are eager helpful and professional. There were lots of extracurricular activities to choose from ranging from fine arts to sports. In addition the PTC was a strong force of dedicated volunteers.
