Our children are in 1st and 3rd grades and we are in our second year at Sumac. We could not be happier with the staff, teachers, and principal. Our children participate in their top-notched strings program and chorus. My son plays the violin wonderfully and the music director, Peggy McClintick is phenomenal. She has the 1st year and advanced year violinists perform in the annual Lindero Canyon Middle School's Fiddlefest. This experience is first rate for our young performers. Out of all of the schools in the area this school has the most impressive technology and is used throughout all of the grades. I am looking forward to their exciting program that enhances global literacy through a language immersion program in Spanish and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) that is fully integrated this coming fall. We are happy to have our kids at this school where the PTA supports Language, music, and STEM programs. I would recommend Sumac without any reservations.

Both of my children have attended Sumac and we have had a wonderful experience. Wonderful teachers, and incredible parent support. The PFA sponsors a complete music program including a violin program, chorus and grade level instruction with a teacher. They have amazing technology, including two Mac labs, Mobi Boards in every class room and a cool system that allows students to give teachers feedback with a remote throughout the day in almost all of the grades. The school also has a full time PE teacher who is amazing...she teaches all of the fun stuff I remember learning as a kid. I could go on and on.... We love Sumac!!!!

We have been extremely pleased with our experience at Sumac. The teachers listen, as does the Principal. There are many things offered here that aren't at other schools-like music, p.e., and computers. The school is open to help and happy to work with parents, too.

The school is a wreck, compared too many schools, it's a dump, they cut way too many budgets and the teachers are mean
