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.

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.

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!

Middle school.. Plenty of bad memories, shyness, ridicule, and being a loser…read more I liked this school though, the teachers were really supportive, especially the first day during 6th grade when you get used to having multiple classes per day. Being too shy and chunky when I was a kid really stopped me from having as much fun as I should have had back then in this school, but that didn't stop me from making really good friends and some good times.

Ill start off by saying the actual day car is pretty good. I would take my child back if i didnt…read morehave to deal with the administration staff. Although, they do get kind of combative over silly rules in not the most professional way. However, i think people need to realize that if you are a student at CSUMB and are using the day care during your semester you will have to continue to pay 700 a month even during the summer and winter breaks to keep your spot. (This is unlike any other college day care ive ever seen). They do not care about the consistency of the child or the well being of the child the are there to make profits. I was under the impression we would be able to hold our spot but apparently thats not true and dis enrolled us but not before cashing the check we sent them for January that we can not get back because they put that toward the rest of December (which i paid for the few days my child attended. 300 hundred or so) . So even though they dis enrolled us they still were happy to cash our check. Also, we have had 3 different people taking care of our paper work on the business end and the newest one send my husband and i a letter demanding we get our child up to date on her shot by the end of the week (it was wednesday) or we will be dis enrolled. Well, she was up to date so we were like you need to be better trained or something. But no she was sure we were missing 5 at first then it was like 2-3 . I dont think she was sure either. So i gave her the same exact piece of paper that i gave them originally and everything was ok. She apologized. I was furious. This women up rails our life during exam week and demands we do these things or we wont have day care; But i always said i would put up with it because i didnt want to take my daughter away from her friends. But they dont care about that not one bit. Im reporting them to the BBB and see if we can take legal action to get our money back. One more point that i thought was important. They have no real curriculum its pretty much an over priced day care, the child are not taught to sit and write their names to prepare for kindergarten. I would just like to add a quick update. I tried showing my toddler pictures of her new school and she started crying saying she wanted to go to her school so she could see her friends. Thank you again early child development services. Apparently the only people who dont have to pay to keep their spot are the ones who are on government assistance. So thats fair.

I have to agree with those who posted prior to me. My son went here part time for about 2 years,…read moreand my second child, with him, for about 6 months so I know what I'm speaking of. Underpaid? You bet. One of my daughters better "teachers" there left and I talked to her after and she confirmed the horrible pay and working conditions. Trust me. It shows. Take for example my son's "master teacher" for 2 years. A 21 year old who had no college education at all, and when she would leave notes about my son, she would not spell very simple words correctly. Concerning. There's no real education going on here, just be aware of that. Anything he learned he learned from me. Don't know even get me started on the "administration" here, ok, this is where my time with them ended. Their billing department employee has her records all messed up, and I've had "teachers" call me in the middle of my classes telling me the billing lady told them to call me to come pick my children up due to nonpayment, when I had already paid and spoke to the billing person prior! Clueless and unprofessional to say the least. Any correspondence they leave for you financial or otherwise is attached to your child's sign in sheet only, so if you are on a break, or your child is out sick, they just drop your child from the program and tell you sorry, you have to wait another year to get back in, rather than sending a simple letter, phone call or email via the 21st century. In this final straw with them, the enrollment person informed us my daughter was dropped weeks after she was dropped, simply because my other child did not attend for a while and I therefore did not pick up any correspondence pertaining to him. Was told to contact the program director to beg to have her taken back in so I could have help while attending college, I left several messages, and not once did this person have the decency to even return a call or pay us any mind after my kids went there for years. Is this how they display their motto, relationships matter? Well, I'll let you decide. If you have no other choice but to use EDS, good luck, and keep a close eye out! I'm honestly glad to be rid of them, they did us a favor!

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!
