Mission

Our mission is reflected in the rigorous standards-based academic program that we provide for all students. We are committed to supporting all students in becoming life-long learners. Our school is an example of how academic excellence can be achieved when an entire community – parents, teachers, students and businesses – work together to achieve common goals. This is reflected in our school motto, which states, “Together we can create something wonderful.” Neil Armstrong is a standards-based learning community where all elements of each student’s growth are addressed. We are committed to fostering in our students the development of strong academic and positive citizenship skills.

About Us

Neil Armstrong School was opened in the fall of 1969 and was named in honor of the astronaut, Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon. The school houses 475 students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade with 25% of our student body represented by culturally diverse students.

Our school was honored as a California Distinguished School in 2002 and we received national recognition as a Blue Ribbon School in 2003 for academic excellence. These two honors were an outcome of our entire school community coming together to create successful programs and services that promote student achievement and the creation of a safe and supportive environment in which to learn.
