    Great... Committed staff & teachers who really care about student outcomes. Many staff are…read moregraduates who want to give back to their community. Free meals for all students. Lots of pretty spaces to study, eat, & hang out. Awesome views of the ocean. Most students seem dedicated to their studies & their own futures. Campus Monitors are heroes!! Good... Some classrooms need updates to improve traffic & air flow. Discipline can be improved with consistency & more support from the school board. Buses would improve students travel times. Some have to walk long distances, so help 'em out. Needs Work... Parental engagement should positively impact student learning & experiences. Many are too busy or too caught up in their own issues. Stop locking bathrooms during school hours. Parents -- don't hit your students or the staff. Learn boundaries.

    Well, I am on summer vacation, and decided to check what people are saying about my school. After…read morereading Lee's review, I felt the need to say a few things about Seaside HS in particular and education in general. The 2010-2011 Seaside HS year of education was the first year of this school's turnaround. Hopefully we can maintain the great positive changes at SHS for many, many years to come. A principal leader with a great vision, a support staff beyond compare, assistant principals that help ensure the vision is organized and works, teachers (for the most part) that focus solely on student achievement and succes, and students that make it all worthwhile with their effort and attitude to succeed. We still have our issues but we are moving forward and will hopefully make SHS as far removed from it's negative past as possible. Lee's review is a perfect example of how much power, both positive and negative, we have as educators. Hopefully Lee will use his high-powered vision of how things should be to make the future a better place by not dwelling too long in the past. Come by SHS and see the changes!

    Our oldest boy was at MBCS from kindergarten thru 8th grade and was well prepared for high school…read more Our younger, 4 years later, also was at MBCS from kindergarten thru 8th grade. Both graduated at top of their classes. MBCS had about 15 in older son's 8th grade class and younger son's graduating 8th grade class had about 4 due to some staff changes that parents did not like. The education was still good and MBCS dealt with small class size (something the public schools complain about) by combining some grades. Which was not us parents' preference, but it worked. After all, the USA somehow survived long ago in the "one room school house" days of combined grades. It worked and our younger son graduated and went on to MVCS in Watsonville, like his older brother which was an academic kick butt school at least until his senior year when new leadership made changes the staff and students did not like ("IB" etc) and lost experienced teachers. MBCS is affordable at around $7,000 a year. Classes small. Teachers dedicated. They try hard for a small Christian school. And teach both academics for high school prep and good citizenship (Bible teachings) though one does not have to be a professed Christian to attend. Older son went on to MVCS (Watsonville) and was a top student and got a merit scholarship and then on to U.C.Davis which was good on classes but totally sucked at helping him get into a grad school. Davis did nothing to help. Happily older son made a friend of one professor who helped him get accepted into a good grad school in PA, Marywood University (Catholic) where I think she was alumni, and where he did well, got a job in his major and now works full time and is happy with everything but the weather (hot summers, cold winters...not Monterey, CA weather for sure!) It took a lot of effort to even get older son's diploma out of U.C.Davis...huge school, huge classes, huge graduation and so next to nothing in support timeliness and help. Plus did forced "get covid shots or get kicked out" right before classes started so no time to change schools. Younger was a top student at MBCS (the small, mixed grades classes did not hurt...maybe helped with so much individualized teacher/student attention), and then became a top student at MVCS and when applying for college, applied about a dozen schools and was accepted by all. He went to Simpson University in Redding, did well. Good teachers, ho hum counseling dept. A modest sized Christian college where he did well. Worst was 4 in a dorm room for Freshmen, after that he got double rooms with a friend as RA (dorm resident assistant. RA was a good deal...got 1/2 price on cafeteria and free room in dorm as I recall. Plus a $20,000 academic scholarship per year for 4 years. Which was nice for a $50k/year private college (tuition, books/fees, dorm, meals). Then he applied to grad schools, where all but SFSU (San Francisco) the last college I attended, accepted him and is now at Sacramento State University in a very tough doctoral grad program that makes him glad his previous schools were academically intense. So two kids, one now working for a couple hospitals (one full time and one part time) and one a top student due to intense hard work with a heavy, exhausting medical-related academic load, both got their start to successes at MBCS. A small, humble, caring K-8th Seaside, CA Christian school where they began. So yes, I like MBCS because it started out two kids out to a path to successes. And our young niece there is happy. Has friends and likes the teachers. Where could MBCS do better? It could send graded quizzes, tests, etc home each Friday so parents could get weekly "how their kid is doing?" feedback. I think that would be a very helpful idea. Weekly academics feedback instead of less frequent parent/teacher conferences. RH

    This school has had a bit of administrative turnover since my children have been here, but it has…read morenot affected what has gone on in the classrooms whatsoever and they have had amazing teachers who absolutely love and live for the students. The principal they have now is amazing and a visionary. The academics for the younger grades (can't speak for older yet) have been great and challenging. Jesus is palpable on campus and everything they do from curriculum to leadership to discipline is through a Biblical world view. Everyone knows every students' name. They are extremely family oriented and all of the staff looks at the whole child before they see them as a student. The class sizes are small and the teachers really learn and work with the individual needs of the students and communicate so well with parents. The students are so well loved and cared for. It's a small but mighty and sweet school!

    This school used to be amazing back in 2010-2014 when my best friend's daughter was at the school…read more Nowadays it's just horrible, the teachers don't help the children with their assignments. The principal is all for the good things, but it seems like the teachers don't want anything good for the students. My best friend's daughter graduated last year, but I'm not going to name any names in fear of the staff trying to get in contact with her again. I rate this 2 stars because I see potential in this school, the teachers can change if the principal takes action, I feel like if the principal DOES take action on making the teachers actually care and help out the kids who need help, this school can go back to how amazing their teaching program was.

    I've been going to this school since 2013. At the beginning the school was great, and had a lot of…read morefun stuff to do. The teachers were kind and the staff where also. I am now graduating 8th grade here in 11 days and the school has gone to crap. I personally think this school is only supposed to be a elementary school and they shouldn't have a middle school. A lot of the times, they ask for donations a lot but they don't use the money for anything good. They don't have enough jerseys for the kids and the P.E equipment really needs a update. I think they should use what they have on things that need help like the bathrooms. The bathroom are definitely not built for middle schoolers. The sinks are very low and they mirrors are super tiny. I definitely think this school needs some TLC.

    I have been coming to bright horizons for tutoring for almost 4 years now. I was referred by a…read morefamily friend and have not been disappointed even once. They really do care about your successes and are invested in getting to know their students in order to figure out each ones individual learning styles. Rachel is beyond dedicated to ensuring that you receive tutoring on a schedule that works for you and will accommodate you to the best of their abilities. There have been times where I have needed 3+ hours of tutoring in complicated subjects (most recently, quantitative business analysis) and both her and her tutors are more than willing to provide the time and resources to do so. Clint, my tutor, is without a doubt one of the top reasons I have been able to complete my most difficult math/business related courses. Although my subjects may be outside of the traditional lower education level courses, he always makes the material graspable and translates it in a way that allows for you to apply it to more relatable topics. In addition, I leave feeling that I will be able to do the apply the topics learned on my own because of his thorough explanations. I will now be graduating from business school this spring and will forever be grateful to bright horizons for their support!

They have built their self confidence and are thriving academically. They have developed skills to achieve their goals. I highly recommend giving your student the opportunity to grow and build their self confidence through excellent mentoring. Setting our children up for success is every parent's goal. Trust in Carmel Academics, they will help your child achieve their success.
