A+ School of Excellence Archive

Nevitt Elementary school lives up to their motto- "Learning for All Whatever it Takes." It is evident from the start of the school day when each student is greeted at the door by name followed by focused instruction with clear learning targets and instruction aligned to those targets and warm smiles at the end of the day when students say goodbye. The school culture is positive and nurturing which creates a safe place for all students to learn. All students, staff and community treat each other with kindness and respect. They are deserving of the A+ designation.

"Carrillo is A+ because of its unwavering commitment to students’ academic success, character, and well-being. Through true wraparound support, every student is supported and individual needs are met. Students feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved, so much so, that many say, “They’re not coming to school, they’re coming home.” At the end of the day, it’s the love.”
Communication and community are at the heart of everything at Carrillo. The result is a warm, family-oriented environment where everyone feels welcomed and involved. Teachers work tirelessly with high expectations rooted in care. They know their students in and out of the classroom, work hard to keep them safe, teach them well, and even make learning fun. Everybody is kind, everyone is treated fairly, and Carrillo truly lives out its Cougar statement of everybody helps each other. It’s a home away from home where being kind matters.
Beyond strong academics and consistently high achievement, students receive a good education while also learning to be good humans because it’s modeled for them daily. Collaboration, purposeful use of data, and ongoing student-centered practices ensure time is intentional and focused on students’ futures. Grounded in deep history and community pride, Carrillo is a place where expectations are high, teachers are supportive, and everyone truly has a heart for kids. We love Carrillo’s A+ Cougar Family!"
