I am so pleased that my child goes here, I think he is getting a huge start academically by staring here! Amazing principal, teachers and students! Close Quote

As a parent of a 5th grader I am truly sad to leave Mirada. We have been at Mirada since 3rd grade. Ms. Branch, Principal, is such a strong leader. She sets high standards for herself, the staff and the students and is very involved and visible. She knows name of each student and most parents as well. Mirada is a Leader in Me school and much of the learning and teaching is completed using the 7 Habits of Highly Successful Kids. I have seen this happen in Preschool through 5th grade. There are many student groups that allow students to become confident leaders. We have been completely happy with the education our child has received. Close Quote
