    Honestly, I think this is a great school if you live in the area. The teachers are nice and it was…read moreheartbreaking to leave for middle school. The school in general is a only a little homophobic and maybe the slightest bit of sexist but depending the teacher, some are more nice than other. As a student that used to go to Quail Glen, I would recommend this school for your kids :).

    This school has a huge bullying problem perpetuated by second grade tracher Marianne Wilson. If…read moreyou're child is entering 2nd grade and is a boy in her class, you've scored. If you have a girl you are absolutely screwed. A first grade girl was kicked then poked with straws and utensils. She was so tiny they tossed her around like a rag doll. You'd think those boys would get detention or suspended...nope. Another parent had to file a Williams Rights Act complaint woth the District against the school and Marianne Wilson because they failed to let a student take home and bring back their school books daily. Aren't school books a basic necessity for school?!? A second grade girl was sexually assaulted on campus by a boy. However because the boy was under 4th grade in the eyes of the law it's only considered bullying. Another kid was bullied so bad that they had to switch classrooms and the boys that bullied that child would loiter outside the classroom. It got so bad that this child was no longer allowed to go out on recess because the school could not guarantee the kids safety while on campus. The child had to be escorted by staff. Are you kidding me?!?! Another girl was physically assaulted by a boy and after the investigation it was determined it was an accident. Uhm how many times do you accidently punch another kid...wtf. The mother of the boy that was the offender that did the physical assault was the room mom so nothing happened to the golden child. The principal Greg O'Meara was absolutely the worst. That kid that was sexually assaulted the childs parents went to O'Meara and asked him what his remedy was and he stated to them, 'what do you want me to do there's only six weeks left in school'. The principal had already asked for a transfer so he did not care one lick about those kids. The lunch lady would admonish the kids that had an under $5 balance on their meal accounts. She even told the kids that she would turn them away if they tried to get a hot meal even if they had a positive balance but the balance was low. Not low enough to where they could not purchase a hot meal. Just having a low balance even if they had enough to purchase a hot meal. Turn a kid away even if they had enough to cover their meal. That's insane! One parent had to complain to the Board of Trustees to get the lunch lady to stop. The yard duty are horrible at their job and kids get hurt real bad. To the point where kids were missing school to avoid the bullies because they would get hurt at recess. Then when the yard duty found out they never told anyone so that bad kids kept doing horrible things because nothing was ever reported. Another kids parents was threatened with having their kid kicked out of school (notified by mail only 1 day prior to being kicked out) because the school didn't mark on the outside of the school record folder that they had received the shot records. How completely idiotic of them. A simple mistake, ok. But not checking a folder then trying to kick a kid out because of their mistake and only notifying the parent 1 day but they knew about this for two weeks. Unacceptable. There are a few good people here. I'd say the male nurse is pretty great and I've heard the tutoring center teacher is pretty awesome. But I have not heard of or experienced a great teacher at this school that nourishes the child's mind in a positive manner. If you want your kid to either become the bully or get bullied verbally and physically go ahead and send them to Quail Glen. Your kid will come out nice and f'd up all on your taxpayer dime. If you can I'd highly recommend moving out of the district or requesting a transfer. We are leaving this hell hole. Worse school ever. Bullies are rampant. Staff is either incompetent or disinterested. Kids are being physically and sexually assaulted by other students. Multiple complaints have been filed against the school. The former principal ended up leaving to a place in Santa Cruz to become head of student services. The district promised this year 18/19 would be different. There is no way we are coming back. Ever!

    I contacted the Principal, Carrie Vincent, to inquire about my daughter coming in for a visit day…read more She will be going to Junction in about a year and she always talks about going to school. So, I thought, what better way then to have her go in and get a taste of it. I e-mailed the principal and was told that we could not come in for a visit for even an hour because we would distract the kinder's from doing their work and they are working very hard this year. Really? And kinders perform brain surgery? I was shocked and appalled that a Principal would not let a local future student come into a class for a moment. My views of this school are really low and my child will not be attending there. Shame on you Ms. Vincent.

    I started sending my son's to Junction back when it first opened and have been amazed with how well…read morethey have done here. At the time, we lived in Rocklin School District, which I am not a fan of, and had them transferred over. We currently live in the district now, but not in the neighborhood for this school and I continue to have them transferred over. The staff at Junction has always been friendly and supportive to me and my kids. My son's teacher's have worked hard with them teaching them how to read and succeed at school. Because of their hard work, my 2nd grade son is reading at an upper 4th grade level. The school is well maintained and always has our kids safety at hand. As for Ruth's review, she must have a warped since of what elementary schools are built for. They are not daycare centers or playgroups. Our teachers must be focused on teaching their students, not babysitting a preschooler for a day.

    It is a true gift to give your child the opportunity to grow up at St Albans. The school gives my…read moreson everything he needs to be set up for success going forward and is continually upgrading their curriculum to meet the needs of the children and go beyond that. I personally appreciate that they focus on my child's social and emotional development as well as his academic needs with the ultimate goal of having a child who can enter high school not only as a strong academically, but as a confident individual who can be an independent learner, think for himself and know how to collaborate with others. Aside from the academics and personal growth, the school offers enrichment courses including Spanish, computers, music, drama, PE and art that are included in the curriculum. Because this is part of the regular curriculum, your child really has the opportunity to build on these extra activities since it is included in their program all the way through 8th grade. Another advantage of choosing a school like St. Albans is it is a small school, everyone gets to know your child very well (both students and faculty), which makes it a very comforting environment for your child to grown up in. You can be assured that no student will "fall through the cracks" at St. Albans and you will find that they truly want what is best for your child and will help them reach their full potential. The head of school always puts the needs of the children first. The school is very lucky to have her. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, hard working and very involved in all that goes on with the school. Mrs. Bernauer sets the bar high for both the students and the school, which is what makes St. Albans continually grow and meet the highest of educational standards. Our family feels that we have made the best choice in choosing St. Albans for our children's education. We have no doubt that this school is setting our children up to be the best, well-rounded individuals they can be.

    A damaging experience I would never repeat…read more I am deeply sorry to hear that children are still having experiences similar to what my son endured at St. Albans more than twenty years ago. Our family's experience with the school could not have been worse. What we were told during the enrollment process did not match the reality we encountered. In addition to tuition, families were expected to make substantial financial contributions and fulfill significant volunteer-hour requirements. As a single parent, I was unable to meet all of those demands. As a result, I felt my son was singled out and ostracized--not by the other students or their parents, but by the school administration itself. My son was labeled "too active." In his class, I felt that boys were often judged more harshly for displaying normal childhood energy, while children who could immediately sit quietly and conform were treated as the ideal. Although my son was not expelled, I ultimately and willingly removed him because I believed the environment had become toxic and damaging to his confidence. In my experience, school officials were unwilling to work constructively with children who did not fit their narrow definition of the "perfect student." The culture felt arrogant, inflexible, and dismissive of individual differences. The academic expectations were also unreasonable. No fourth grader should routinely be assigned three to four hours of homework each night. I was also extremely unhappy with the poor-quality, unhealthy food served during after-school care. My strongest advice to parents is to find a school that leads with kindness, patience, compassion, and a genuine willingness to support each child as an individual. Based on our family's experience, St. Albans was unequivocally not that place.
