The mission of South Whittier School District is to prepare every student for success in high school and beyond by focusing on the core academic subjects in an effective and integrated curriculum.

We believe:

All students can learn.

Students learn best when they are engaged in challenging and appropriate learning focused on the core academic subjects of language arts, mathematics, science and social studies integrated with physical education and the fine arts.

Quality teachers are the single greatest predictor of student success.

The diversity and uniqueness of each student should be respected.

Students learn best when families value education, and teach their children to accept increasing responsibility for their own learning.

Quality education improves the quality of life for students, their families, and the community now and in the future.




Welcome to Loma Vista's Website


Loma Vista Elementary School is a dynamic epicenter of learning. Our goal is to not only meet, but exceed our Academic Performance Index and Adequate Yearly Progress. As a Title I Program Improvement School we have embarked on a scripted journey of improvement. Teachers, students, and parents are offered the opportunity to get involved and to participate in additional classes and training all geared to improve instruction and student achievement. Already, much has been accomplished in the areas of language arts and mathematics. In addition, we are proud to have opened our new state of the art library media center available to enrich our students' experiences through literature and technology.

Teachers have been trained on effective instructional strategies that benefit all students from a variety of research experts such as the Marzano Group, CORE, HMR, and our very own District experts. This year we are excited to welcome our teacher on special assignment who is coaching us through our journey as we implement effective research based strategies to close the achievement gap for all students. Children are benefiting from the implementation of special grouping and instructional strategies that allow all students equal access to the curriculum as well as the differentiated instruction they need to succeed. Our parents are involved through PTA, School Site Council, and parent trainings offered at the school and throughout the District.

Loma Vista also enjoys the pleasure of being District champions in Soccer, Basketball and Track. We will continue our quest to send forth well-rounded, educated individuals ready to meet the challenges of the twenty first century. We are grounded in the beliefs that all students can learn and that failure is not acceptable.
