    School : The school itself is nice today, but it was a lot more older when I went there a few years…read moreago. Recess area is huge, multiple basketball courts, a large field for soccer, and they have a painting of a Map of the US. Tables where you have lunch are outdated and need to be replaced. Classrooms : Large, can only fit up to 40 students max plus the teacher. Large white boards in each room except for 1st grade which has a blackboard. 2nd grade has a fragment smell of cinnamon that can be annoying when working in there. Teachers : Mrs. Amigable (a-mi-ga-bi-lay) and Coach Brad are the coolest out of all of them. Some are annoying which are Mrs. Genna and Mrs. Zuniga. Substitutes : They have this one sub that always comes in named Mrs. Laybourne and she's annoying and no one likes her except for the kids that like to snitch on other kids. Mrs. Croft was the old six grade before the current and she's very nice unless your on her bad side. Overall it was a good school, except having annoying teachers that always have an authority issue and will call you out and get you in trouble for anything stupid.

    Unfortunately, my family's experience at Santa Sophia Academy was very disappointing…read more My biggest concern was the lack of transparency regarding my son's final Science grade. After he received an F, I repeatedly requested a breakdown of the assignments, tests, and missing work used to calculate the grade. The FACTS parent portal did not display any of this information, despite the school directing me there, and my requests for clarification and a meeting with the principal and teacher went unanswered. We also had a very difficult experience with my son's fourth-grade teacher, Mrs. Genna. As the parent of a child with ADHD, I did not feel he received the patience, understanding, or support he needed to succeed. In addition, we were asked to pay for books that the school said were missing, even though those materials had remained at school. We were also initially asked to pay $270 for a damaged Chromebook without being given the opportunity to inspect it, determine whether it could be repaired, or understand how that amount was calculated. After I requested an explanation, I felt that my concerns were not handled respectfully. In the end, the Chromebook repair cost was only $54, a significant difference from the amount originally requested. Throughout our time at the school, my family also felt that we were treated differently at times. As a Mexican family, there were interactions with staff that left us feeling unwelcome and, unfortunately, gave us the impression that bias may have played a role in how we were treated. While I cannot know others' intentions, that was our genuine experience. My concerns are not about expecting special treatment, they are about communication, transparency, accountability, respect for families, and appropriate support for students with different learning needs. Based on our experience, these are all areas where the school has significant room for improvement.

    I cannot say enough about this wonderful place that my children are fortunate to be a part of. We…read morehave 2 little ones (TK and K), and they absolutely love school. This can only be a testament to the amazing, loving, nurturing, motivating staff. EVERY SINGLE member of the staff TRULY loves their job and their school. From the crossing guard staff saying good bye as we walk home to the warm smiles given out by everyone we see. The principal Mr. Iriqui has a huge presence on campus and I've heard him greet and say good bye to each child by name. It's one of those places that you go to and you can really tell the staff enjoys what they do. Our youngest had a tough start to TK and the staff really embraced her and made her feel at ease. Now she's sad that it's the weekend and no school for 2 days. The school has so many activities for the children as well as the parents. There are seminars on various topics regarding parenting and education and are really informative. There's always an activity for the kids incorporating something from the STEAM curriculum. As a father, I'm encouraged to know my children are in good hands and are being molded for a bright future.

    Im so happy we decided to enroll our daughter at our local school for kindergarten. La Presa…read moreElementary is amazing. Every single staff member truly loves and cares about these kids. Safety and a healthy learning environment is top priority for everyone. I was blessed to help out with picture day last week and got to meet all the kids and teachers from every grade level. This is truly a special place. The kids were all so well behaved. Their teachers were amazing at keeping large groups of kids calm without being nasty. The children with special needs, omgosh the love that poured out of every single teacher was unbelievable. All the teachers know these kids and truly love them and the children definitely know it! The principal, Mrs. Rabasco is fairly new to the school. This is only her 2nd year. She is amazing. From day 1 she knew my child, she knows all the other children by name as well. She has kids standing in lines to give her hugs. She is also completely immersed in the neighborhood even though she doesnt live here. She attends the Spring Valley community meetings and does everything she can to help the neighborhood that La Presa is in , which in exchange helps the families and kids here as well. This place is truly an amazing school and everyone should give it a shot before judging a school without even meeting the staff and taking a tour. LOVE La Presa Elementary !!!!m This will be our school of CHOICE for as long as we live here.

    This has been, by far, the worst school experience my child has ever had. The administration…read moreconsistently fails to protect students who are being bullied and shows a troubling lack of understanding around mental health. Instead of addressing the behavior of documented bullies, the administration routinely shifts blame onto parents and punishes the victims. The principal, Mr. Tropp, demonstrates no accountability and has been openly condescending when legitimate concerns are raised. After assuring me he would conduct a full investigation into my son's bullying situation, he claimed to have reached a "conclusion" within hours. Our meeting began at 3:00 p.m. -- yet by 10:00 a.m. the next morning, he announced the investigation was complete. Considering school ends at 4:00 p.m. and doesn't reopen until 8:00 a.m., it's clear no thorough investigation took place. My son was repeatedly bullied, and only when he finally defended himself did the school take action against him, not the aggressor. The district seems more interested in protecting staff than protecting students. Parents deserve a school where safety, accountability, and genuine mental-health awareness are priorities. Unfortunately, this school has demonstrated the exact opposite.

    Came to support a special needs client of mine during senior graduation, just to find his name…read morewasn't included in the graduation program, even though he walked. How distasteful!!
