We moved into this neighborhood 3 years ago. I was very hesitant to send my child to Mission Viejo because I had heard that it was an underperforming school. I checked the score on this site and was not encouraged. I went to the extent to get my child school of choiced into Cimmaron elementary school. I was sure that not going to Mission was the right move for the education of my child. A funny thing happened though, we had 3 sets of parent friends tell us how great the school is, they had older children in the school and they planned on sending their younger kids to Mission Viejo. It was at this point that my husband started to suggest how wonderful it would be to walk to and from school, especially since we both went to private schools and never experienced the neighborhood community school culture. I was seriously so scared when I finally agreed that we would enroll our child at Mission Viejo. Let me just say it was 100% the right choice. My child is totally thriving! My child goes to school energized to see his teacher and friends. My child leaves school happy. The teacher my child has is wonderful! She is animated and knowledgeable, she is organized and compassionate. I honestly can’t believe how much my child has learned! It constantly amazes me. I love that my kid gets to go to a diverse school. There are all types of cultures represented at Mission. It is beautiful. I can’t say enough good things about this institution. I guess I just wanted to share my story because my child almost missed out on getting to go here, and maybe someone else is trying to decide where they want their child to go to school...in my opinion, Mission is a great choice!
My son has attended two other schools-one in Denver and the other in another part of Aurora. Mission Viejo is by far the better school as there is real curriculum. He has excelled. Mr. Pearson is a wonderful principal who pays more attention to his student than probably some of the parents. Ms. Richardson is a great teacher and the vice principal is awesome as well. The Before and Aftercare Program led by Zach is really great! They play with the kids and do arts and crafts-not just let them sit around. My son loves this school and so do I!
Mission Viejo has been great for my first grader. Mrs Droege is a great teacher and my son has learned a lot. The before and after care teachers are also great my son is constantly playing and getting lots of excerise. The principal seems very involved and there are always after school activities going on. Couldn't be happier .
Really like this school. From the principal (Andre Pearson), to the teachers, and aftercare staff and even the custodians, everyone works together to make this a great place for the kids. Our son has needed extra help with reading, and Mission Viejo has stepped up with assistance, creative programs and patient guidance.
Mission Viejo Elementary is a very good school with great teachers and an Amazing principal! You're the best Mr. Pearson!!! Academically, it's on par with or slightly better than the nearby elementary schools. They even supplement their curriculum with non-common core resources. The difference is the staff, leadership, and real sense of community. If this is your neighborhood school, be thankful. We have since moved to be in the Arrowhead Elementary area and miss Mission Viejo very much. It's like night and day!
