Great school…read more.. Grades: The school covers sixth through eight grade. Bi-lingual Immersion: We've had three kids go through the school and the bilingual immersion program (starting at Georgia Brown Elementary) and we are very please with the results all the Manatt the high school to pass their AP exams in Spanish. Teachers and Administration: We found the teachers and the administration to be very helpful. As long as we are involved as parents we had no issues at the school. We are especially appreciative of the teachers that are part of the bilingual immersion program. They put extra effort into helping the kids retain their Spanish from the elementary school program and prepare them for High School AP Spanish. School facilities: The school has been recently renovated due to an earthquake. The students are now in mostly all brand-new classrooms. Recommend the school, especially if your are an involved parent and your kids came from the Georgia Brown Bi-lingual Immersion Program.

Not immune to challenges faced by other jr high schools (even private schools in our experience)…read morebut they seem to attract a gentler group of students. Sometimes I wonder if this is because the kids are around other age groups (it's for grades 4-8) and not just other jr high students. Or maybe part of it is the arts-based curriculum which gives kids some wonderful outlets for their talents. They don't have to pretend the arts aren't cool to fit in with their peers. One thing I've finally learned as a parent is that what may be a great fit for one kid is not for another. However, two of our children, both very different personalities, have gone here and it has been an excellent experience for them. We've had several teachers go out of their way on several occasions and have felt warmly embraced in the community by Principal Rubin and Chris in the front office.

Local Mobile Vaccine Clinic Site Review: Just the other week, this School joined a few dozen…read moreothers in our county in allowing us to set up a one day Mobile Vaccine Clinic in this underserved area, which is quite a long drive from the City of Paso Robles itself. It is in a quiet, rather remote area, right next to Lake Nacimiento. Lake Nacimiento as of recently only had about 15% of its capacity, so I did not check it out on this trip. While I knew about the lake, I had no idea about this quiet community of a few thousand, let alone a school, and a small shopping center just across the street that has a large supermarket [Oak Hills]. In any case, we arrived shortly before the young kiddos left school and people interested in getting vaccinated started to arrive. We set up right outside the entrance and things went really well. Quite a few people did have special needs or lacked transport to Paso itself, since there was no pharmacy in this town. The school staff that we interacted with were quite nice and it was great that they thought of helping their community with this effort. After finishing up, I did drive just across the street to check out the mini-mall and supermarket. Maybe next time I am in town I will check out the Lake itself, but we typically run late so that we can offer people services after work hours, so at this time of year, it starts to get dark early. One of the interesting aspects of being a Medical Reserve Corp volunteer doing Mobile Clinics is that we literately go almost everywhere in this huge county and meet all kinds of interesting people. Of course, the absolute best thing, is that we are saving lives and preventing suffering & disease. Again, if it was not for places like this quiet school, many people who cannot get to relatively few Pharmacies nor the few Public Health Clinics with the full range of vaccines [or any vaccines at all], would continue to go unserved and unvaccinated. We also have the time, knowledge, experience, and patience to help people understand why vaccines are safe & effective, while also dealing with people's fears & needlephobia. Thanks to Cappy Culver we helped people in this out of the way community.
