About our School...
Principal, Mark Atkins

Adobe Bluffs Elementary School, established in January of 1992, is nestled within the northwestern section of Rancho de Los Peñasquitos in the city of San Diego.

Adobe Bluffs is a wonderful model of a neighborhood school and the pride of the surrounding community. Upon entering the bright red doors of this meticulously maintained campus one immediately senses the caring, collaborative atmosphere that has become its trademark.

Building on a strong tradition of volunteerism and parent and business support, a culture has been established that maximizes academic and social growth for every student. We are grateful for the support received from both the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and the Adobe Bluffs Educational Foundation. Our Extended Student Services Program (ESS), provides before and after school child care to close to 110 students.

Four Autism Special Day Classes serve special needs students.

Adobe Bluffs was named a California Distinguished School in 1998 and 2006, and a Charger Champion school in 2001. We are proud of our API score of 917 yet continually seek ways to improve.

Adobe Bluffs is a leader for school reform due to the model programs, use of technology, high performance standards, community partnerships and exceptional staff, which includes three National Board Certified teachers.

To support optimal continuous progress for learning, we boast four types of classroom configurations, including single grade levels, looping classes, combination classes and multiage classes. The success and effectiveness of Adobe Bluffs is a result of the strength of the dedicated staff and a high degree of parent participation.

We are pleased and proud of our many accomplishments. We are committed to helping every child meet the high expectations of our district’s academic standards and work tirelessly to bring real meaning to the core value of All Students Learning, Whatever It Takes.
