This is my second year sending my children to SFR. One is in kindergarten and the other is in TK…read more I'm happy to say they both love their teachers and all the fun school activities. I'm very impressed by the hardworking teachers and hardworking staff. My first impression of the school was the welcoming greeting of the schools administrator/ secretary Mrs Fitzgerald. She answered all my questions and made me feel that this was the right decision for my children's education. I like it so much that I volunteer two days of the week in my daughter classroom. My husband and I feel just as strongly about our children religious education as we do about their academic education. We feel SFR meets both these high standards most assuredly. The principal Mrs Mendez has a noticeable leadership quality that makes me want to be part of the SFR Families that truly care about this school.

However, because of logistical reasons and because of a close friend (Jeannette) who recommended SFR, we decided to send our youngest child Noah. Noah just completed TK and I have to say that our experience has been an overwhelming positive experience and a blessing to our family. The teachers, parent involvement and the curriculum have prepared our son for first grade. We look forward to growing our faith and our child's education in the years to come.

This school has a few students that have bullied my step daughter. The school has done absolutely…read morenothing about it. Parents went to the school and they never notified them that my stepdaughter was getting bullied. She was locked into a bathroom stall and made my step daughter lick the toilet and the principal responded to my partner "Oh? We never called you to tell you?" Principal did not have a conversation with the parents. We never found out who the students were and who the parents were. Principal did not hold a meeting between parents or students. I would not recommend this school because if something is happening at school or in the after school program, Thing together, they try to avoid the parents. They won't notify you. The staff is a total failure. Now, they have a lawsuit coming their way.

I love this school. My daughter is special needs and started here in kindergarten December 2021…read moreafter realizing that she could not cope with regular kids at a private school with limited resources. Her first day was rough because of the new environment, but after that, she loved this school. She gained confidence, her speech and vocabulary skyrocketed and her social skills improved tremendously. I'm so proud of her and am very grateful for the thoughtful and loving care all the teachers and staff show all the students. From the office manager, Luz, to the lunch team, to the nurse...everyone shows such empathy and care to all the kids. The principal, Erin Fish, is amazing! She really gets it! She very much understands and empathizes with all families who have special needs children and the challenges we face. She is a champion for all the students, whether in special ed or not. I applaud this school for being so exemplary in the way they have shaped the culture of the school and how they support all the students to strive to do their best and to learn from their mistakes and failures. This school is a hidden gem. Any child would be lucky to be here.

I will update my review if anything changes. The only thing I found to be negative is that there is no food program so I will have to pack my daughter a lunch. On the other hand, this allows me more control over what my daughter eats so I can make sure she is eating healthy.

I was very scared when my son was going to start kindergarten because he had never before been to…read moreany type of daycare and didn't know how to write his name or hold a pencil. The first day of school he cries and didn't want to leave me. However now after one year he has progressed soo much and I can say it's due to the schools great curriculum along with the teachers and staff and the kids classmates. Thanks to Mrs Hernandez I saw my son slowly start to improve in everything. He grasped everything that he learned and was eager to go back to school everyday. He knew how to do his homework and needed little help from me and soon he was reading words and sentences whenever we would go out. This is one of the best schools and of coarse it's because it is located in a great school district but the teachers and staff are what make it great. I was afraid of bullying but the kids here really are respectful and there was nothing but nice and friendliness from everyone even the parents.

They don't help with anything besides feed you sweet nothings. most the time they are just sitting on their phone but still They don't respond for weeks sometimes months. They lie all the time and they " lose" my child yearbook lost . Refund money lost,A replacement lost my child's rewards for fundraiser that they worked their butts off for and raised hundreds of dollars for . You guessed it lost. When my first child went to that school, the PTA was amazing and we still talked to them all but my second child's PTA has the worst. It's sad because it makes a great school. Look like crap.

This review is in regard to Mrs. Bivens, first grade teacher at La Fetra…read moreElementary. She is heavy on "seatwork", and will bench kids for recess to finish coloring, even. Also, she restricted my son from a trick or treating field trip and tried to restrict him from another field trip. However, I spoke to the district, and this is not allowed. Field trips are educational and therefore a part of the curriculum not to be used as reward or punishment. Thankfully, my son has moved on. But, I walked past her class today and she called out to the first graders, "Come on guys, we're talking about going to the Fair here!", obviously employing the same tactics. BURNOUT!

He genuinely loves going to school every day, which speaks volumes about the environment the teachers and staff have created. The school does an amazing job of fostering a love for learning while also emphasizing respect, kindness, and strong values. The teachers are nurturing, attentive, and truly invested in each child's development--not just academically, but socially and emotionally as well.

It has made such a positive impact on our family, and we are so grateful to be part of this community.
