This incident occurred in October 2021, and it reflects serious concerns about student safety and…read morehow issues are handled at this school. My son was bullied by another student who also encouraged others to join in. He was pushed, dragged, hit, and even had his shoe taken off and thrown. When we reported this, the response from Vice Principal Jenny Amaya was extremely disappointing. She dismissed the situation by saying my son was "being annoying," which is not an acceptable justification for physical bullying. What made the situation worse is that the vice principal had my child change his statement without my authorization. She essentially coached him on what to say, and the revised statement appeared to minimize what happened and protect the school. This is where everything escalated and became even more concerning. There also appeared to be a conflict of interest, as the student who initiated the bullying was reportedly related to the vice principal. This raises concerns about fairness and whether the situation was handled objectively. At the time, the school also had a new principal who seemed unaware of what was going on, and no meaningful action was taken. I reported the issue to the district, but nothing was done. The lack of accountability and follow-through is very concerning. Overall, this experience left us feeling that the school does not provide a safe or supportive environment for all students. I hope improvements are made so that no other family has to go through a similar situation. Some teachers are great!

Parents expect too much from any local public school and after reading reviews (not knowing anyone would ever do that) I thought why not.

Any parent who expects otherwise would need to go private or home school.

We had already started the process of signing him in to the public school that pertained to our area. We walked in to the main officeof this dreaded public school and it felt like a DMV office. People with a blank stare like they didnt like there job and they made us feel like we were bothering them because we were keeping them from gossiping about their daily live. Full disclosure, im a father who may be a bit overprotective but with public schools being the way they are I wasnt about to leave my son just anywhere. Thankfully, we were blessed by the FISH radio station, because they were offering partial tuition to christian private schools and this one was the closest to our home. The very first day the receptionist, welcomed us in with a friendly smile and offered to show us around!!! Try asking for the tour at a public school and see the faces you get. This NCA school is small and homey and you know the staff understands that children will perform their best in a nurturing environment. You can even participate in the school which leaves you at easy because you feel like the school has nothing to hide......they get it!

What I can say is the school has been nothing but amazing and full of improvements; that is including PTA. All of his teachers ; including the RSP teacher, that worked with him were amazing and were very accommodating. The office staff listens and try there best to be very understanding. What I liked most about every last teacher is, they held him accountable for his actions. His 5th-grade year seemed to be more challenging ranging from playground issues to getting called a racial slur, Etc. The principal and the staff did an amazing job of handling the situation. Lord knows I wanted to leave work and go pick him up. I was able to calm down and trust that the staff had it and she (they) did, Thank you, Mrs. Perez & Mrs. Togia. If there was a concern the staff in the office took care of the situation as soon as they could. The small complaint I had; staff took care of it the next day. In conclusion, I wouldn't have chosen a better school for my son to go too.
