They have an excellent school PTO committee, and support staff. The volunteers and staff are so friendly, it makes it a joy just to volunteer! (I know this because I volunteer from time to time). The school takes a lot of pride in the education, and activities they have for the children (It's evident). My husband went to this school when he was a boy, and highly recommended it when we moved to Rancho. The principal is very approachable and sweet. You can always see her with a big smile on her face at school functions/school. It's so nice to see the care and attention this school gives to the children that attend. I know my daughter will have nothing but great memories when she leaves this school, heck I'll have some too! I normally don't leave long reviews, so believe me when I say...this school rocks!

Whether they don't feel like regular high-school is a good fit, want to get ahead or need to catch up. Julie was a fabulous teacher the engery at the center is fun and inviting.

They have so much to offer and so little is known about them. But I definitely reccomend this great school

I attended the Options for Youth event on October 8, 2026, after 5:30 p.m., with friends and…read morecoworkers. We enjoyed the event and the food. The flyer they provided, which is attached here, did not clearly state that the food was only for parents and students of the school. Because we enjoyed the event, I encouraged my son to stop by after work. When he arrived, Rebecca told him that the food was only for parents and students, not community members. When my son got home, I decided to return to ask why he had been given information that differed from what was stated on the flyer. When we returned, I tried to ask about the discrepancy. Staff members and people in the crowd began laughing at us and egging us on instead of addressing our question respectfully. One of the staff members was the man in charge of the sports table section, which was part of the fair where people were informing youth, students, parents, and visitors about available programs. Earlier, I had seen him explaining the sports program to attendees. He wore a black shirt and eyeglasses and had curly hair. I told them it was just food and that a simple, respectful explanation would have been enough. Instead of addressing my concern, the man responded in a dismissive and discourteous manner. I then said that I would leave a negative Yelp review. He replied, "Oh, we're on Google too." I found his response rude because it seemed to mock or challenge me about posting a review. We then went to our car. As we were driving away, Rebecca approached us and tried to make things right. She apologized for the way we had been addressed and offered us a box of food. I appreciated her effort and kindness. Afterward, I saw the man who had made the comment about them being on Google too and asked him for his name. He refused to tell me. Rebecca said, "It's dark. I can't see," even though his face was visible and he was standing nearby. I found the response dismissive and felt that they were avoiding accountability. The way the situation was handled left us feeling belittled and raised concerns about staff training in communicating with families and resolving complaints. Someone representing an organization that serves young people should model respect and professionalism. Staff Rebecca deserves recognition for apologizing, showing empathy, and trying to make the situation right. What matters to me is dignity, clear communication, and courteous treatment. I hope management clarifies the eligibility requirements on future flyers and addresses this behavior of discourteous staff like that guy so other families have a better experience.

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Sacred Heart School. I attended Sacred Heart in…read moreLos Angeles growing up and had such a meaningful experience, so I truly hoped my daughter could continue that same tradition. I followed every step and guideline required for enrollment. I brought my daughter in for testing and was told I would receive a call within two days with feedback. Unfortunately, I never received any follow-up. I called multiple times after that and was repeatedly told they would call me back the next day--but no one ever did. Eventually, I couldn't even get through to anyone. This was especially upsetting because my daughter was excited about attending. As a private school where families pay out of pocket, I expected a much higher level of communication and care. The lack of professionalism and follow-through is unacceptable. When we attended a tour with my mother-in-law, we also felt very rushed, as if our time and interest didn't matter. I even explained that I was willing to make a 40-minute commute daily for my daughter to attend, which is a big commitment--but that didn't seem to matter to them. Overall, the experience made it clear that this school does not prioritize prospective students or families. The front office appeared understaffed and disorganized, and the lack of communication speaks volumes. It's very disappointing, especially considering the strong expectations associated with a private institution.

I am writing this review because I have serious concerns about student safety, access to…read moreinformation, and pickup/drop-off practices at David W. Long Elementary. My concerns did not start with this school. They come from prior issues involving my daughter's daycare, including concerns I raised regarding people such as Mr. and Mrs. White, questions about who was authorized to pick up my daughter, and information my daughter later shared with me about who had been caring for or transporting her. Because of that history, I have repeatedly asked this school very basic questions: Who is authorized to pick up and drop off my child? How does the school verify that person's identity? Does the school actually document who physically receives a child at dismissal? What happens if someone who is not listed in Aeries arrives to pick up a child? And if another adult is authorized on a one-time basis, where is that documented? I have still not received clear, direct answers to those questions. I have also raised concerns after my daughter shared information with me suggesting that she may have been spending time unsupervised with an adult male who is not her parent. I am not stating that the school caused that situation or that I know exactly what occurred. I am saying that when a parent raises that kind of concern, the school should be able to clearly explain who picked the child up, whether that person was authorized, and what safeguards were used. Instead, I have had to repeatedly ask for basic access to my daughter's information. I had to ask the front office multiple times for information and access to the school system. I was then pushed toward meetings and additional conversations when what I wanted were straightforward written answers about my child. My biggest concern is that I have not been shown a reliable sign-in/sign-out process, electronic release record, or other system that clearly identifies who actually drops off and picks up young children during regular arrival and dismissal. If the school has such a system, I have repeatedly asked them to explain it. If they do not, that is something parents deserve to know. Parents should not have to fight for basic information about who is receiving their child from school. A school should be able to answer, clearly and immediately, how a child was released, who received that child, and what authorization was relied upon. I have now filed formal complaints because my concerns remain unresolved. This is not about creating conflict with the school. It is about a parent asking very basic questions regarding the safety and whereabouts of her child and expecting direct answers. Until the school can clearly explain its pickup, drop-off, release, documentation, and parent-access procedures, I remain deeply concerned about whether the current practices provide enough accountability to protect children it needs to be less than 2500 characters
