School Reviews
| 5 De Anza Elementary is one of the best school in the city of Baldwin Park. Classrooms, restrooms, and the playgrounds are all exceptionally clean! Teachers are awesome with the children, and their teaching are great. Many of the children that went to De Anza have rapidly learn a lot. They also have a ''workout'' time and the children always have fun with their classmates. Their teachers are very supportive to the students and incourages their dreams. Overall, the facilities, teachers, students, staffs are all GREAT!
P.S. I, Silvia, was a student there and it was my best elementary time of my life! - Posted by Student/Alumni - silra |
