I can't think of a better junior high school for my 3 children than La Mesa! Both my sons are now…read morein high school and were well prepared academically and social-emotionally by the teachers and out of classroom staff at La Mesa. The Principal and staff have developed a positive, welcoming, and inclusive school culture. Mrs. Krantz genuinely cares about ALL kids and her students know that! There are an abundance of electives to meet the diverse interests of 7th and 8th graders. My boys thrived in the band program and my daughter loved learning ASL, taking art, and is now part of ASB. There have always been a core group of wonderful parents to help support La Mesa as well! I would highly recommend this school to any parent looking for an excellent school for their 7th or 8th grader!

If you're looking for a place that cares about both a Christ-centered and academically rigorous…read moreeducation, there is no other place in Santa Clarita, or nearby areas, like Trinity that balances both as well as they do! We've been here for more than 7 years and have seen both the highs and lows of being a private school community like this. Even when challenges arise, the best thing I can say is that they actually care and try to respond in such a way that they remain committed to Christ (first and foremost) and also do the best they can to care for their students. Even if we don't always (personally) love or agree with every decision that has been made, I know it's always been done with much thought, care, and prayer in order to stay committed to the school's mission and vision--not bending to just one person's (or family's) thoughts or feelings about things. This, I'm sure, has been hard at times, but I'm grateful the school has stayed faithful in this regard over the years and even through many challenging situations! We are grateful for the unique place Trinity holds in the Santa Clarita Valley for our family!

I can only speak about the football stadium, as I didn't see the rest of the campus. Apparently,…read morethis is a large high school, judging by the sprawl of facilities. The way that Google Maps directed us, we came around the perimeter of the sports facilities, not knowing where the parking for the stadium would be, but following the light standards until we found it. The parking lot in that area is large, with solar carport-type covers. Given how hot and sunny it gets there, this is a great idea. It was 100 degrees at 4:00 for game time. In an interesting arrangement, West Ranch High School's Wildcats use the stadium as their "home" venue, as their own field doesn't have light stanchions. Wish we'd realized that before driving to West Ranch first. By the time we got over to Valencia High, I was feeling frazzled about missing the start of the game. The parent boosters selling / taking tickets were very friendly and gracious. As we made our way to the visitors side we passed the snack bar. Though the game was underway, they weren't ready to sell anything. Even a frozen lemonade wasn't happening. Later, at halftime, dear hubby went over and scored $5 cheeseburgers for us that weren't half bad. The venue has a gorgeous setting, up on a rise so that the view beyond is of the mountains separating the Santa Clarita Valley from the San Fernando Valley. There was a suggestion of a vista of Mt. Diablo in Contra Costa County up north that had me nostalgic for my original hometown. I'd say the visitors side has the best view, actually.

Horrible school if you want to learn and socialize. Most people already have friend groups, and…read moredon't socialize with new students. Also, the school has a major bullying problem that they have covered up for a while now and only did the bare minimum if pushed to do. If you are not in the main popular friend group, you most likely cant talk to anyone. You'll also most likely be bullied if you don't like whatever the popular kids like, and people always beat each other up, and they do the most minimal punishments. I heard someone who caused a ton of people to bully someone else only got 1 day of ISS for doing that. So yea, i totally recommend not going here

There was a lot of drama and she got in trouble when she didn't do anythingwhich made me really upset. I got many phone calls of things that my daughter has not done That's my only negative thing about the school but from on this point, teacher's facilitator's principles are not bad just need to learn how to make the people who actually made the drama get in trouble and not the people who did nothing
