After missing 3-4 mos of school he felt lost both academically and socially and didn't want to go to school. The public school would not consider allowing him to repeat the grade. Private schools in our area are impacted and competitive to even get into. I was at a loss until my aunt in Monterey told me about Trinity Christian High School. From the first phone call explaining our situation, to shadow day, to interview, and starting a new school around April - it was all amazing and beyond my expectation. Most importantly my son snapped out of his depressed mood after one shadow day and has been going to school happily for the past year.

Concerns About Honesty and Educational Quality…read more As a parent, choosing the right school for your child is paramount. It's with a heavy heart that I write this review for Stevenson (RLS) Carmel Campus, which my child attended for multiple school years. I believe in providing honest feedback to help other parents make informed decisions. Pros: * The hot lunch program at the school is commendable. The variety and quality of food offered are impressive and appreciated. *Initially, their "specials" program was robust and enriching, thanks to a team of talented teachers. However, now the majority of the lower school special teachers, who were very talented, left the school. Cons: * Honesty and Transparency: One of the significant issues we've faced is with the school's administration. There's a disturbing pattern of misinformation and lack of transparency. This ranges from trivial matters like outdoor activity times to critical aspects of our children's academic and social-emotional experiences. It's been disheartening to untangle these inconsistencies as a parent community. *Educational Quality: When it comes to academics, the school unfortunately falls short compared to other independent institutions. Despite claims of offering differentiated learning, the reality doesn't match up. The one-size-fits-all approach fails to meet the diverse needs of students. *Staff Turnover: The specials program, once a highlight of the school, has suffered due to the departure of many talented educators. This loss has noticeably impacted the quality of the program. Conclusion: While I appreciate the efforts made in certain areas like the lunch program, the overarching issues around honesty and educational quality are too significant to overlook. I had hoped for a more transparent, nurturing, and academically challenging environment for my child. For parents considering Stevenson, I urge you to thoroughly research and look into other options. The well-being and education of our children are too important to compromise. We have a group of post-Stevenson families and the common theme is how thankful we are that we decided to leave, how much better our kids' new schools are, and how much happier our kids are.

My daughter is thriving at Chartwell, school for kids with dyslexia. When we first went to the…read moreopen house, we were amazed by the airy, modern beautiful campus on the green lawn, small class sizes (3-8), fun classes like robotics, claymation, and we saw two 3-D printers. That means they teach CAD (So clever as kids are addicted to Minecraft)! They do hands-on, multi-sensory teaching where they might create a 3D object to measure the volume by actually measuring the length of sides. Language coding, much more explicit way of learning the language, made a lot of sense for us. However, it was the art display on the hall way and everywhere on campus that took our breath away. They are displayed in the way that you'd think this is an art school. The kids' art at all ages were so expressive, vibrant, and really intriguing. They even have a pottery studio. Art has always been my daughter's passion so we looked at each other, eyes beaming with enthusiasm. To get a taste of Chartwell, my daughter went to their summer school. Wow, what an eye opening experience it was for her! She said that the teachers made things so fun that even doing homework was fun. "It feels so good to understand everything, mom!" she said on the very first day. She was so proud of her daily mini achievements and she was sending me photos of pottery she made, video of a rocket she launched, even the photo of the white board that showed a tough math problem that she did correctly. My daughter started in the fall, and we received nothing but overwhelming support from her teachers and staff. I feel so fortunate that my daugther is at Chartwell. The next three years might be the pivotal point in her academics. She is ever so curious, happy, and proud of her learning progress. If she can approach learning in the way that she does now, I strongly feel that she is set for life, thanks to all her dedicated and passionate teachers at Chartwell.

My experience at this school was extremely negative. I felt that the environment was often racist…read moreand sexist, and there were situations where I felt judged and treated differently because of who I am. The way I was treated and the overall environment had a serious impact on my mental health. Instead of feeling supported and safe at school, I often felt stressed, uncomfortable, and isolated. My experience became so difficult that it contributed to me needing to go to a CSU. I'm sharing this review because I believe students deserve to feel respected, included, and safe at school. I hope the school takes concerns about racism, sexism, and students' mental well-being seriously and works to create a better environment for future students.

Well, I am on summer vacation, and decided to check what people are saying about my school. After…read morereading Lee's review, I felt the need to say a few things about Seaside HS in particular and education in general. The 2010-2011 Seaside HS year of education was the first year of this school's turnaround. Hopefully we can maintain the great positive changes at SHS for many, many years to come. A principal leader with a great vision, a support staff beyond compare, assistant principals that help ensure the vision is organized and works, teachers (for the most part) that focus solely on student achievement and succes, and students that make it all worthwhile with their effort and attitude to succeed. We still have our issues but we are moving forward and will hopefully make SHS as far removed from it's negative past as possible. Lee's review is a perfect example of how much power, both positive and negative, we have as educators. Hopefully Lee will use his high-powered vision of how things should be to make the future a better place by not dwelling too long in the past. Come by SHS and see the changes!

By far one of the proudest moments on Friday was watching my little brother graduate. It has been a…read morehard last few years as a family and watching him on Friday was definitely exciting (a new chapter opening up for him and our family). I had always had my reservations about my family moving down to Carmel five years ago but if my family did it all over, I would have not wanted it any other way. The ceremony spoke to what is important at Carmel High- letting students pursue their interests and ensuring they succeed. Where these students are going is impressive-- various UCs, CSUs, military academies, Berklee School of Music, various out of state colleges, vocational and community colleges.... very cool. For a small school they offer 15 AP classes which is ridiculously "hardcore." As an educator and a counselor I was impressed at how much they offered and how many students took these classes. The ceremony also boasted several music performances including a personal pieces by a student who was recognized at the local Jazz festival..... more importantly.... the ceremony continually hit the point that students like coming to this school.. the people here like to teach, counsel and enrich students' lives. The farewells to the principal and AP were very touching.. I want to say thank you for being a part of my brother's life and helping him be a prepared for his next phase in life :-D
