The principal and teachers go above and beyond to ensure that my child and the children that attend the school are provided with the best environment for learning. Thank you Hermosa View School!

Hermosa Valley Elementary School provides nothing but a poor education and a dejecting learning environment. The classes offered are basic. The teachers backgrounds are questionable. The students there are cruel and cliquey. I definitely do not recommend this school. It's a very close-minded environment, where they only meet California standards.
