My daughter is in full day Kindergarten at Gavilan Peak. I am very impressed with the accademics they have covered this year in all areas. She has learned so much. They also have an awesome music program at this school. The parent involvement at Gavilan Peak is outstanding and there is the feeling that this is small close-knit community that wants the schools to be a huge success. The technology used for teaching at this school is also top notch. There is a smartboard in my daughters kindergarten classroom and brand new lap tops in the computer lab.
