Loma Verde Elementary School is a neighborhood school serving a diverse population of children in grades K-5. The school population is comprised of students from thirty countries representing over ten languages, reflecting the ethnic and social diversity of the Novato community. We are fully committed to creating a school that knows no limits to the academic, social and emotional success of every student, and we believe that all students deserve the opportunity to be educated in a way that prepares them for college.

Loma Verde School is working hard building a framework for Exceptional Systems modeled after the No Excuses University/Turn-Around Schools to improve the achievement level of all students in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. The Six Exceptional Systems include:

• Culture of Universal Achievement

• Teacher Collaboration

• Standards alignment

• Assessment Plan

• Data Management

• Interventions
