I have not had any issues with any of the teachers in a personal manner and am pleased beyond belief that we fell into this area. Granted, a child is only going to get what he/she puts into it. My daughter put a lot into it, we supported her and the school. Including volunteering and also purchasing items to help support the Academy. Every single person that I interacted with, the parents, the teachers, the administration everyone was excellent. I could not think of one negative thing to say about the school. If I am blessed enough to have another child, I would go out of my way to make sure that he/she ends up at Los Pen.

I was enrolled here as a freshman for the 2025/26 school year. This school is INCREDIBLY…read moredisorganized, and not just in a 'first day chaos sense'. I was not properly informed of the bell schedule, and the reasons that it was different on the first day. The assistant principal read my schedule and sent me to the wrong class. I missed a whole period - thankfully an elective - and sat in a study hall that had more students than seats. They were actively bringing in tables so that they could have a seat for everyone in the study hall. This should not be happening on the first day. Initially, I was supposed to take Math 2. I was priority enrollment, and tested into this. The administration claimed there was no room, and placed me in Math 1. Math 2 was not an option on the course selection. I was then placed in virtual Math 2. During my study hall, the link that was supposed to come up for a recorded class never came. I sat in study hall with AP bio homework that I was supposed to have over the summer. When my friends at the Studio campus texted me about their AP bio homework, I had my mom call the office to make sure I didn't have any at PLC. The office said there was no summer work. This wasn't true, and I only got a huge packet of summer reading on the day before school. While other people had already completed this, I was left behind. During lunch, there were so many kids that there was no room at the very few tables provided. Open tables either had no shade source, so were burning hot, or had a broken umbrella. During Gear Up Day, I was given the wrong information regarding school computers. An adult told me that if I was a Workshop student, that I could bring my own computer. My family ended up driving back to the school, because this information didn't match up with prior instruction. I did end up needing a school computer, and was only set up with Canvas a day before classes. Nobody had said anything about the app before this. I was incredibly excited to start this high school after a wonderful middle school experience at The Classical Academy Bear Valley campus. This school was not at all what I expected, and extremely disappointing.

I went here for my junior and senior year. I transferred from a private school - Calvin Christian -…read moreand I was very glad I did! CAHS-PL is the type of school where if you do your work, you WILL pass with AT LEAST a B. That is from a combination of excellent teaching, engaging work, and non-excessive knowledge. All the people I knew that got anything lower than a B were people who didn't really do their homework. I learned a decent amount of things - not enough to overwhelm me, but not enough to forget too many important details. Everything here was super easy compared to private school, as a junior and senior it was nice to still earn good grades but not have extreme amounts of work to do. When I was in the middle of college application season, I had a college counselor there tell me that CSUSM was impacted and it might be hard to get in. My weighted GPA was a 4.11, so I'm not sure where that came from, but it did stress me out. I was accepted in less than a day. My schedule was great. I didn't need too many credits so senior year I was at school 10.40am-2pm and it was amazing. If you're looking to make friends and have a social life, don't go here. A lot of kids just want to come to school, get their work done, and then go home. Most of my friends left before lunch, so I just used that time to do my work. If your kid works well on their own, this is the place for them. I highly recommend. It is 3 days a week, which is cool. I would get all my Monday and Friday work done on Friday, and then have Monday off! Or vice versa. It can be done, but I'd say around 3 or 4 hours of work will need to be done over those at-home days, but that's barely anything. I loved here, if this seems like a good fit for your kid, please send them here!

Diegueno Country School is the best school in the world. We moved from San Francisco to Southern CA…read morewhen my daughter was entering third grade. She was very behind the other students at Diegueno, but the teachers were so patient with her, and even met with her before school each week to help her get caught up. When my daughter graduated from Diegueno she told me "Mom when I first went to Diegueno, I was the dumbest kid in the class, but now I am one of the smartest ones!" I am not saying that either of those statements that she made are necessarily true, but the amazing teachers at Diegueno helped my daughter, improve and grow, and now her confidence in her abilities are through the roof. She has since moved on to high school, but one thing that is interesting is that the kids from her current school who went to Diegueno for elementary school, are excelling at math and public speaking in particular. My daughter even won the award for being the best at Algebra at her new school, because Diegueno prepared her so well, and instilled a natural curiosity and love of learning in her. You will not find a better school than Diegueno Country School.

They all want to talk to me. They all want to tell me happenings of the day. Dcs is location reminds me of a treehouse and you will have to be okay with the classrooms being a bit smaller than other schools. But they make it work somehow. My kids are happy. I have seen academic leaps and bounds. I used to make sure the kids had two tutors. I have now stopped the tutoring and put my child's education into the care of the teachers. The kids are much more willing to try hard to finish homework without too much prying from me. Whatever system they have. It works. And it is working wonders. When you take a tour take a peek at what the kids are working on and you will have an idea of the academic excellence they strive for. Just book a tour.

I had been to one too many schools around North County trying to find "the one" and finally decided on this one. A Spanish immersion school with gymnastics! My daughter loves coming here!

They create such a fun learning environment where the kids can't wait to learn what's next. The staff is also very communicative and and responsive to any concerns you may have.

For all of the parents that got notice over Christmas break that the school had closed and we had…read more10 days to find alternative placement for our children- I have to write this review. The school mismanaged their funds. They went bankrupt. They did not plan on telling the families or the kids. The pastor mentioned it at church one Sunday and a parent of an enrolled kiddo heard. He then announced it at the Christmas recital! It was a ruckus. Parents panicked, kids were confused. Teachers had no idea they were out of a job 2 weeks before Christmas. However, the headmaster there was not affiliated with the church and had a passion for education and the kiddos. A handful of parents, himself, and 3 teachers worked tirelessly to find an alternative and ended up opening a new school in the same town. It is way better than Ramona Lutheran, the kids are thriving. Ramona Lutheran dropped the ball; and for some reason, no one knows about it. The local paper even wrote an article about the school closure and in no way mentioned that it was more than just a sad accident. This school plans on re-opening. Anyone who knows what happened would NOT recommend this school. Do NOT go there. There are better options. RLCS still has photos of our kids on their yelp page!! Take them off!!!

Being harsh, and always wants everything to be perfect. She stresses out students and makes students lives more exhausting than they need to be. She'll make students late to lunch almost everyday cause we aren't being 'quiet' enough. If the line isn't perfect, or someone whispers, someone maybe even steps too loud, we get sent back to the classroom. The latest Ive been late to lunch was 15 minutes, leaving only 5 minutes left for lunch. The aces name is Ms. Delacruz. Only 2 breaks throughout the day. My last year at springs wasn't good either, I got harassed at this school for 3 straight months, my teachers, and principal was aware of it all, plus my parent went in with me to the school to talk to the principle about it. Nothing was done. Non stop bullying, and I felt alone. Faculty does nothing to help students. Don't send your kids to springs.
