When I returned to the office, I found my daughter fainting and crying, completely overwhelmed because of this school's cruel and broken system. She was constantly bullied, and the teachers ignored it entirely. Miss Hoy targeted my child, treated her unfairly, and turned the entire class against her, creating such a hostile environment that my daughter suffered a panic attack. Mr. Henderson failed to step in or protect her in any way. The nurses were negligent and careless. My daughter is diabetic, yet they forced her to miss a once only school activity just to drink three bottles of water. These games only happen once, and she missed the entire game, which left her devastated. The school itself is dirty, poorly maintained, and feels unsafe. This place left my child traumatized. Worst school ever. The staff are unprofessional, irresponsible, and should not be working with children. This school should be shut down and replaced with people who actually care about students' health and safety. weird ass school man. dont bring ur kids here

Idc who you voted for (btw, we're democrats) or what God you pray to (btw, we're not religious).... we know a good school when we see one! Anyone who writes a negative review can take their kid to the low rated public school they live by. I mean...who writes negative reviews about schools!?!!??!! Unless you're paying for it! Charter schools are elective, and if you're unhappy with it, send your kids to the local public school, move, pay money for private school, or teach your kids yourself! Home school is an option if you think you can do better! Teachers are are under-paid and extremely undervalued. They take care of our kids for almost 8 hours a day...for free (well, almost...taxes pay). They try to educate our kids along with teaching them how to be responsible members of society. Even bad schools have good teachers.... who try and care! We previously had an issue with a teacher here and after sitting down with the principal, it promptly stopped. Our kid is almost in high school and has been attending lfcs since kindergarten. Lfcs provides a FREE and "private school like" education. Ik when my kid leaves in the morning he is learning something, safe, and well cared for. Ummm.... and the school rating is 10 out of 10....I mean really????

This review involves Christian Unified in Chula Vista . I…read morewant to begin by acknowledging the people and experiences at this school that I genuinely appreciated. I am very thankful for Miss Melanie and Miss Martinez. I especially appreciate Miss Martinez, who took the time to work with one of my children on reading even though he was not her student. That kindness and willingness to help meant a great deal to our family. I am also incredibly grateful for the parents in this community who reached out to us directly after we left. Some offered prayers, some sent encouraging messages, and some simply checked on our family without asking questions or participating in rumors. Unfortunately, my son later heard from other students that he had been "expelled." That is not true. We made the decision to withdraw our children from the school. I deeply appreciate the parents who chose compassion and direct communication rather than speculation. There were good people here, which made our decision to leave even more challenging . Over time, we repeatedly raised concerns about comments, teasing, and interactions involving our children, particularly during less-structured times such as lunch, recess, and PE. From our perspective, there was not enough accountability or effective intervention to stop the pattern. We eventually lost confidence that our concerns were being addressed appropriately. There were also interactions with adults that we found especially troubling. One incident involved a PE teacher asking our son, "Are you a boy or a girl?" We considered that humiliating and completely inappropriate for an educator to say to a child. We also had significant concerns regarding our experiences with Miss Warner and Miss Lisa. In our experience, some interactions with our son and with us as parents felt dismissive, unnecessarily confrontational, and at times embarrassing for our child rather than supportive or corrective. We communicated concerns about these interactions to the school. Our concerns were not limited to this school year. In a previous year, we also had a troubling interaction involving Miss Evans. During a conversation regarding our son, I distinctly remember her referring to him as "lazy." When I later addressed the comment, she maintained that I had been the one who used that word. I strongly disagreed then and still do. I would not describe my son that way. Regardless of that disagreement, the interaction left me feeling that my concern about how my child had been characterized was being dismissed rather than acknowledged. We also previously raised a concern after our son reported an issue and was subsequently referred to as a "snitch." Experiences like these mattered to us because children should feel safe reporting problems to adults without being embarrassed or discouraged from speaking up. We also raised concerns regarding Miss Bartolome and interactions our son witnessed involving the way students were spoken to and corrected. Taken individually, someone might view some of these incidents as minor. For our family, however, they became part of a larger pattern that developed over several years. What became most difficult was the overall lack of accountability we experienced when we tried to address these issues. We were not expecting our children to never be corrected or disciplined. We absolutely believe children should be held accountable for their own behavior. What we expected was fairness, appropriate adult conduct, meaningful intervention. After multiple incidents and repeated attempts to communicate our concerns, we decided withdrawing our children was the best choice for our family. This was not a decision based on one teacher, one disagreement, or one isolated incident. It was the accumulation of experiences over time . I am sharing our experience because parents considering this school deserve to hear both the positive and negative aspects of our experience. Our experience with repeated peer issues, adult interactions with our children, and the administration's handling of our concerns ultimately outweighed the positive experiences and led us to leave.

Mr. Hacker quickly gets back to me whenever I have a question about something and is quick to get back to me when it comes to things going on in the classroom. My youngest son is in Mrs. Weatherford's Kindergarten class and she is a delight. She is extremely helpful and the kids love her. My son talks about her all the time and can't wait to go to school every day. Mrs. Silva, the principal, is also heavily involved in the school and I don't think I've met a principal (other than Mr. Handley at Vista Grande!) who is so involved with the students. She wants the best for them and works extremely hard. I also appreciate the office staff. My youngest was having trouble with learning letter sounds when he started Kindergarten and one of the staff took the kids who were having trouble and did a remedial type program and he learned his letter sounds within just a couple weeks with Mrs. Ochee (I think that's how it's spelled, sorry if it isn't). I'd definitely recommend Naranca for anyone living in the area that wants their child at a quality school that has caring teachers.

Overall, this experience was not good while I was there the principal Bartley was a fucking bitch. She would be rude for no reason one time she didn't let my class eat food just because we were "bad". They're supposed to provide food and they can't just start their students. Something teachers are very nice and gentle and others are the worst Naranca elementary school is not a good whatsoever school. Don't ever take your kids there and they let any teacher teach. They really don't know what they're talking about the teachers end up getting fired by next year because they did something and they just put new and more and more teachers thinking it's gonna do something and when it really doesn't do nothing and the kids end up learning nothing from it for my experience from 5th to 6th grade. I didn't learn not a single thing. Do not recommend. make this your least and last option.
