Mabel mattos elementary school(newly built) supports the newly built communities in the Milpitas area. Most of the highly educated silicon valley engineers live in this area(Facebook shuttle stop in Great mall, Google cloud/waymo proximity) because of all the new constructions which leads to a very active and engaged PTA. This area also has 3 stratfords and one challenger. Community is filled with kids going to these schools so your kids make friends with both public/private school kids in the neighbourhoods. There is good focus on academics, extra curriculars, competitions which challenges the kids, gives them exposure and helps them build character. For eg : in the most recent science fair kids first-second graders presented creative robotics ideas using Rumba robots, simple coding games, etc. Kids also learn from the creative ideas their friends bring in. If in doubt, I would recommend going through the science fair presentations. Teachers are good, school has good funding due to property taxes from all the new constructions and the real estate builders, great infrastructure and looks like a university compared to some of the older elementary schools in other areas which look like campgrounds.

One of the rare newly built schools in the Bay Area with modern facilities. Has community learning concept which we feel is awesome. A great leader in principal Dr. Vo Felbinger with some wonderfully smart teachers and staff. To add to it a very active PTA. Some parts are still under construction, but we and the kids have loved the experience here. Go Phoenix. Close Quote
