I'm very disappointed with our experience. It's a very…read moreimportant first experience for children especially. The teacher and a parent volunteer had made my son feel self conscious about himself and going to school. I had 2-3 meetings withe the director, sue jas, and 1 appointment with cynthia w the school board somebody who was not concerned with how my son was treated. She had a very greedy attitude. They tried to sweep it under the rug and we're parents that aren't having it. So now i have to find another school or homeschool. They did not have a "CHRISTIAN" attitude. Soooo disappointed with the problem solving skills. They are entrusted with peoples children.

I've had 4 going on 5 great years with my kids at LMS! Both kids started at 18months and have…read morelearned and progressed so much both educationally and socially. The teachers really care about the kids and strive for good communication between themselves and the parents. The campus feels safe and is constantly updated with new toys and play structures for the kids. The parent participation aspect allows you to be involved in the everyday activities of class and watch your child in a different element as well as keeping the cost affordable. I would highly recommend this school/program to anyone!

My step-son is brilliant but undisciplined and he was allowed to "graduate" sixth grade without doing any work at all and only getting "1's" and "2's" his whole career there. My oldest step-child would've succeeded anywhere anyhow and still does..... My fifth grade daughter has had much the same experience as my son until this year. This year I've been heavily involved and her teacher is very communicative and the difference has been huge. The school goes on wonderful field trips in every grade. The music program is awesome, my daughter has class for 30min 3x's/week and is learning quickly. The office staff are typically rude. The parking lot ( pickup / drop off ) is well managed and there is a great focus on child safety and using crosswalks. There's also a crossing guard and a " lighted?" Crosswalk just for school goers. P.E. is not a large focus but I believe funding is gone for health at most elementry schools. The children do have a large field, two playgrounds, ball courts, basketball courts and a basebal / kickball backstop. The surrounding area is typical for the city except that there is an outpatient psychiatric facility about 1 mile up mission avenue. There are people often in the area that " act weird " but I've heard of nothing harmful from them. I would rather my daughter been in a different school for all previous years but I am happy with her, her teacher and myself right. I wouldn't choose to enroll another child in this school but I'm alright with my daughter finishing out this year there.

My son has been at this daycare for almost a year now, and we couldn't be happier with our…read moreexperience. Every teacher he's had has been absolutely amazing. You can truly tell they care about the children as individuals. Prior to this, he attended another daycare where it felt like the teachers didn't really know him or pay attention to his needs and as parents, we could feel that. The difference here is night and day. My son is happy, comfortable, and clearly feels safe, which means everything to us. The teachers are always communicative and collaborative, working with us on what's working (or not working) for our toddler. We genuinely feel like we're part of a team when it comes to his care and development. The front office staff also deserves a shout-out, they are consistently kind and understanding whenever we have questions or special requests for our son. I appreciate their attentiveness to us as parents. We're so grateful to have found this daycare and would absolutely recommend it to other families looking for a caring, supportive environment for their child.

Every school will have critique coming from families, including from us. But, admin staff and teachers have always been open in having discussions on ways they can improve, how they can correct an issue, and how they can support our family and son's learning and social development. Open communication and a plan of action or improvement are wha we seek with any issues that we bring up, and the staff has always met these expectations. Our son has grown attached to his pre-school and pre-K teachers. So much so that he says goodbye to his old teachers everyday during pick ups. We look forward to enrolling our youngest son sometime in the future!

I used to have my child attend this school for 8th grade and it pains me to say that his experience…read morehere was just horrible. There's a lot of things that this school can improve on, specifically for the older kids. The teaching left my son way behind academically during freshman year. The education here is not well and the school is poor, with fundraisers popping up often. The faculty is negligent as well. I've heard that the junior high teachers make students stand outside and wait outside for long periods of time as well. The school mostly does fun things for the younger students, completely ruining the fun for the older kids. This school claims it's inclusive, but my son's comments say otherwise. I would not send my kids here at all, poor teaching and clearly does not care for the older children.

We are looking forward to our daughter thriving, learning Spanish and having a faith filled education during her K-8 years.

I will say that one of the office staff who's name starts with a M is not very personable and acts as though your bothering her if you need more information on school events or just have basic questions. My daughter is in the 7th Grade and I will say it will get quite pricey once you child gets into 7th and 8th grade is when they take really nice trips to Florida and Southern Cali etc.. Overall I really like this school for my daughter parents are very involved in school activities and I can't believe how well mannered the students are. I would highly recommend Sierra Oaks if you have high expectations for your child's education. my daughter is really happy she goes to this school.

My son attended Arden Middle School for about six months during his 7th grade year before we had to…read morerelocate out of state for my job. He had a really positive experience during his attendance, and I'm glad he ended up here. Originally, Arden wasn't part of our assigned school, but it seems boundaries were updated--and honestly, I was so relieved since Arden is the better option compared to other middle schools in the area, like Katherine Johnson. The campus does have a slightly "posh" feel, which initially made me a bit skeptical about how the environment and staffing might be, especially given some past issues I've had with staff at his previous elementary school. Thankfully, those concerns didn't turn out to be an issue. The front office staff were friendly whenever I interacted with them, and my son never had any complaints during his time here. Most importantly, the school feels safe and well-structured. One thing I really appreciated was the communication from teachers. My son had done well in math previously, so he was placed into a higher-level class when he started. However, he ended up struggling to keep up. His teacher proactively reached out and recommended moving him to a class that better matched his pace, and I was totally on board with it. That level of attentiveness and willingness to adjust made a big difference for us. As for logistics, drop-off and pick-up can be a bit hectic. There are often long lines of cars that spill out into the street, making it somewhat difficult to get in and out. That said, once you understand the flow, it's fairly straightforward. The only real downside I experienced was during the withdrawal process when we moved. There's a form that needs to be submitted, and it can take a few days to be reviewed or processed if staff are busy. In the meantime, I had to keep calling the attendance line daily to report absences, even though we had already moved out of state. Since it's an automated system, it wasn't always easy to get confirmation or assistance, which was a bit frustrating. Aside from that administrative hiccup, my experience with the school in person was always smooth. Overall, I'd say this is a solid and safe choice for a middle school, and from what I've seen of the curriculum and materials, students are receiving a good education here.

Overall, this school is good. I'm an 8th grader at Arden, and I did not attend Arden Middle for 6th…read moregrade, so I've been a student here since last year. I don't know much about the 6th grade teachers, but I do know that a lot of the 7th grade teachers at Arden are great. Mrs. Lohmann is a really awesome teacher--she's very good at teaching 7th grade science. I had A's in her class most of the year. This year, the teachers are pretty good (mostly) but there are a few 8th grade teachers who are not good at their jobs. I've always struggled with math, but Mr. Baskin--one of the 8th grade math teachers at Arden has turned me into a straight A student (so far). He is by far one of the best math teachers i've ever had and really knows how to help his students understand the different kinds of math we learn throughout the year. I have made some really good friends here, and I know that this school is somewhat labeled as the "rich kid" middle school, but kids at Arden don't judge you based on how much money you have. As far as the office and staff--the principal is very nice, but the 2 vice principals we have at Arden can sometimes be pretty rude and unhelpful. The office staff is ok, but they can sometimes look at you when you walk in as if they are judging you about something. The kids in middle school are definitely much ruder then at elementary school, but that's what most kids act like in middle school, so it's nothing new. You'll be just fine at Arden as long as you have a few friends you can hang out with during classes or at lunch. So, overall, Arden Middle School is a good school, and I would recommend taking your student here--it helps the students prepare for high school with honors classes, which will help them get used to harder work.
