Families generally have a strong work ethic, and in order to support the family, both parents often work. As a result of the growth in enrollment and parents choosing this neighborhood school, Lomitas has had to limit its enrollment outside of its own attendance area during the last two years. A district core belief that states all students can learn is implemented through a quality curriculum, the most effective instructional strategies, and a close monitoring of each students progress. Instructional programs and opportunities to ensure that all students learn and meet or exceed district standards are emphasized. If something is not working for a student, a better way to facilitate his learning is found.
Evaluation focuses on student learning.
That learning is taken seriously is evidenced by student achievement and each individuals commitment to his own professional development. The entire community, including parent volunteers and students assisting students through a buddy system, involves itself in the process of daily learning and growing. The Lomitas staff supports the practice of shared decision making and encourages input from all facets of the school community. Lomitas is committed to a school free from violence and offers a disciplined environment where learning occurs. Staff, students and parents are actively involved in site decisions to continually improve the school.
