For the most part the staff are nice.. on the other hand I dont trust the principal. I caught him in 4 lies in less than 2 minutes. Sketchy.

Balboa Middle School

Balboa Middle School

Personally, if you're a parent who thinks it's the schools job to raise your kid, then this isn't…read morethe place for your child . Maybe try a military academy? If you are looking for a school that stimulates the kids to think, to be creative, to bond, to expand their minds, and to reach further than they thought possible.... this is a great school. Be forewarned ... as a parent , you have to participate !! Yes, you have to ask questions, of everyone involved. Yes that means the kids, the counselors, the staff, the teachers , the administrators ( oh no.. really?!?) But being an advocate for your kid , here or at any school is being a great parent . And Balboa has fabulous teachers . They took my shy, very bright , socially anxious kid and helped him realize that he was an honor roll student with talent, passion and the ability to succeed. Be a parent, and the teachers will teach . And your kid will thrive here!!

this is one of the worst schools that I have ever experienced. They are very racist and biased and…read morevery sexist. They have a very strict dress code that they claim they use because it distracts the teachers and students that's kind of disgusting if you ask me considering the fact that we are in middle school and that shouldn't even be an issue in the first place. Their board members will do anything to go out of their way to make your kid feel like shit. They make kids cry left and right and tell them that they love them, but do multiple things to take them down and make sure it's the worst middle school years for them. They'll take a situation that is really not big at all and escalated by 10 just by taking it up to the office, they get people in trouble for no reason and DEFINITELY have their favorites. They also DEFINITELY have their least favorites too. All the teachers are very rude, but not as rude as the people up in the office. They don't want you to promote. They don't want you to be successful. They want you to suffer and that's exactly what they do to everyone the teachers go around talking smack about other students which is very immature to me because isn't this a middle school where the kids are supposed to be talking about each other? Not the adults be talking about the kids. They also have a very "No smoke" policy but when it comes to their favorites, the policy doesn't apply to them. not to mention, the school is very nasty. The bathrooms always smell not even smell they reek the locker rooms are always disgusting and there's always trash all around the school. One of the biggest things that is bad about this school is the fact of how unsafe it is they make things online saying that this is the happiest school ever. This is hell there's fights like every week. They have to have officers there and it is not safe at all. Do not let your kid go to the school. If you are thinking about it, they will make it seem like it's all good that they'll call you every single time that your kid does something wrong but that's not true. They'll call you every single time. Your kid makes a mistake and also they try to make it seem like you're allowed to make mistakes but the second that you make one it's a big problem to them.

Where do I start?? This school is the best school I have ever had interaction with. My daughter was…read morea Veteran there from K to 8th grade completed in 2022. I went to church there when it was still College Heights Christian School and my parents weren't able to afford it . I said, "My child will go there someday when I have my kids." It kept the kids as kids unlike public school is unable to do without Christ as the foundation. Today my daughter almost about to graduate HS was reunited with her City alumni at their JR High/High School Summer camp. Still good kids and the secret is Jesus and parents who invest in their children is a winning combination that goes unmatched. If you can pull it off please do it. My son attended Pre-K and was able to have his start of school with his sister that would not of been possible without this school since it's PreK to 8th now. My son loved it so much and talks about going back all the time he's now hitting 3rd grade. Unfortunately, financially it's not possible for him. it's heartbreaking to not give him the same blessings as his sister. Amazing school. 10/10

Here is why I would not enroll my children here: 1) the…read moreschool subscribes to Christian Nationalism, DT, & CK teachings despite having students and teachers of varying racial backgrounds. Students who are not loud DT supporters are automatically labeled as democrats and told that they are "not Christian" and bullied. Bullies (& their families)who commit actual ASSAULT are protected by the leaders- even with police involvement. Maga-ville, USA. 2) Unqualified teaching staff. Many teachers are not credentialed nor have they even graduated from college. They are trained at the affiliated church's "bible college" and allowed to then teach your children! New unqualified teachers (one male specifically) is being harbored at this school despite complaints from parents that he is emotionally abusive to several male students and he also allows the female students to cheat on tests. Big red flag as a mother with a daughter. Ok? This teacher has CK quotes & pictures on his walls. Bible college students live right across the street in the green apartments-right next door to the school. That made me feel Uncomfortable. The church+the bible college+apartments+school= concerning levels of cult-like vibes. 3) Campus- no library, no gym, no green spaces, no cafeteria, no locker rooms. Sketchy stairway. Across from County Jail. Large electrical wires nearby. Underwhelming. 4)Money- be prepared to pay a LOT of $$ constantly. We put down very large non-refundable deposits and then the school Changed their requirements for parent volunteering- with threats of fines for non-compliance. Lunches- we were promised handmade/homemade meals from a school parent but received expensive, mediocre, unhealthy cafeteria food. "Retreat"- you will be charged for a retreat and we were told it would be camping at Forest Home but it was sleeping on the floor in the classroom. Weird & gross. If your kid forgets their P.E. Uniform- you will Be charged $$. Lots of extra charges! Sports, teacher wishlist, fundraisers, etc etc etc. They will nickel & dime you at every juncture. Bottom line- you are better off in public school. You get a better education from credentialed teachers, better campuses/opportunities, there is better accountability for teachers & staff and it's "free". This school is mentally, emotionally, socially and physically unhealthy for kids. This is OUR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. I would not recommend attending here- absolutely no.

Portola Elementary School

I left this school after my son attended K-3. They definitely have a principal that is rude to…read moreparents, as stated below. They also have an unfriendly vibe overall and, as stated, the principal comes off as uncaring in many areas yet overzealous with unfounded reprimands. I have never experienced a school with so many issues with infighting amongst the students - including bullying. We gave it our best "go" and they do have engaged, dedicated teachers and staff, but the problems are at the top. The last straw was spring 2019 when a 1st grade parent (and the husband of a Portola teacher) approached my child and his friend over his own child's lost football. He interrogated them, preventing them from getting on their after-care bus; boarded the bus to further interrogate the boys and, after being removed from the bus, followed the bus in his own car to the childcare facility (while filming it out the window with his cell phone) where he entered the childcare facility (totally against their protocol) and was finally prevented from his maniacal stalking escapade when the childcare director intervened. The experience was reported to the principal by the childcare director and myself and was handled ineptly and sans empathy. No one at the school or district level could tell me the student safety policy - I had to dig for it online. I took it next level (Superintendent) but was not heard. In the end, no one was able to tell me why my child was able to be verbally accosted for over 15 minutes - why the poor childcare bus driver had to act alone without school support staff - with a bus-load of children - and why this parent -- who is constantly on school property due to his own job and spouse-affiliation was never asked to sit with the boys and apologize or tell them they are safe and that THEY did the right thing (told the truth- that they did not have his son's football/which was later found) even though HE did not do right by them, or the other children or the young driver who was visibly shaken by the incident. The only person that DID react with professionalism, accurate sensitivity and safety protocol was the childcare director. I wonder if that 1st grade parent knows this director had to call an immediate safety meeting amongst her staff and afterward, a "stranger-danger" meeting with every child under her care that day? Shame on him, shame on the Portola principal and shame on the VUSD staff and management that wouldn't return my calls and couldn't answer basic safety questions about their school. It took them TWO months to call a meeting with me. Happily, we found a new school that has a warm, safe environment and professional, capable- seeming principal and staff-- so far so good!

It's our second year at Portola & we couldn't be more pleased. The principal & teachers we've had…read more(Mrs.Smith & Mrs. Chilcutt) are engaged, caring & fantastic! I've never seen a principal engage with students the way Mr. Ruiz does. We've always felt welcome & part of the Portola family. Koleen the librarian is amazing. She's put on the best book fairs! The office staff are all very nice as well. The PFFO put on some pretty cool events for the kiddos last year. Portola Ninja Warrior is a fun day of fitness for the kids & the end of the year carnival was full of fun games, music & food. We're looking forward to more fun events this year. We're very happy to be part of such a great school.

Not only is she given tasks and crafts that cater to her personal level, the entire school knows her name. All of the kids are supportive of each other and big buddies (upper class) are assigned to each student in her class. Myah absolutely loves her big buddy and each week they have an opportunity to connect. The Abeka learning curriculum has blessed her over the year and she has begun to read! ( https://www.abeka.com/ ) Myah's K-4/K class just finished their oral presentations on animals they were assigned to and and they all did great! It was so awesome to see kindergarteners gaining the confidence to speak in front of their class. As parents we are given so many opportunities to be involved! We are getting to know the families rooted here and we love that. Dr. And Mrs. Geue are amazing individuals, accessible to our every whim of need, and love each student. The level of how our family has been encompassed is beyond 5 stars and we are so blessed to be here.
