The school grounds are nice, and the new addition is really pleasant. The kids here are lucky to have such a great facility to learn in. If your kids live in the area, I would recommend sending them here. The classes are a little cramped, but that's a district/state budgetary problem. Despite that, the teachers really have it together. I've watched their interactions and I see they have a good team atmosphere.

Teachers that really, really care and entire system, built around making kids accountable and helping them graduate. I've never seen any school do it better. O'D who has run the school the last 17 years will go down in history as one of the biggest influencers of children in the history of Tustin if he hasn't already. Because I graduated from the school and have become a success (business and family-and I'm not in jail lol) I speak and volunteer at the school once or twice a year and have for the last decade. I get to see behind the scenes, how much effort and energy these amazing teachers put in day after day to a lot of these troubled kids. And most of them graduate, it's pretty astounding. I am proud to call myself an alumni of this amazing school.

I went to this great school in 06/07(when it was behind Foothill HS) and enjoyed every minute of it…read morewhile Principal Hernandez was in charge.Principal O'Donahue took over in late 07 and ruined the school.He got rid of the good hot food we had and our Carl's Jr. chicken sandwiches.The new food options normally consisted of FROZEN chicken and old hamburgers leftovers from Foothill and the neighboring middle school.He not only was a very stubborn Principal,but he kicked me out for self defense and then when he found out I was 19 he threatened to get the Sheriffs involved since I was an adult.I told him about how I threw no punches due to the fact I was an adult(I knew the consequences) and the other kid not only hit me multiple times,but knocked out the security guard who tried to break up the fight.He knocked her out with one punch.The other guy got a suspension and I got kicked out.OD is a horrible Principle compared to Mr. Hernandez and ruined Hillview HS.I think OD used the fight as an opportunity to remove me from the school because I protested to that clown every chance I got about the bad food and poor quality in which it was served to the students. I also suspect that OD was behind the moving of the school to the new site at the Tustin Airbase.So not only did my favorite HS get demolished,but it was removed from a lovely hilly area with plenty of nice trees and scenery.Now it sits next to a bunch of homeless shelters and in the shadow of the hangers on the airbase.What better way to remind the students that we live in a Police State then to stare at those remnants of the military industrial complex everyday.OD is a puppet for the TUSD and Hernandez fought for students rights! EDIT I give the old Hillview 5 stars on Foothill BLVD...The new school on Landsdowne RD(should have its name changed to Hangerview) would receive one star!

We left orchard hills elementary, constant bullying, 1st-3rd teacher doesn't inform the parents of anything that happens , and vice principal doesn't do anything about the same bully for two years . Fed up we ended up going back to St.Cecilia. We left because I couldn't afford to put all 3 kids in private, since public schools are great in Irvine ( not orchard hills elementary apparently) Smaller class size, not always letting your kids sit on the iPad like the public schools with 30 plus kids- (because that's just easier for them ). You know that staff is here at the school for the right reasons. Curriculum is standard, but I'm here to make sure my kids aren't bullied and grow up to be a good person. I am not Catholic, but having religion and the basic virtues of living life the right way is most important.

We've been at Fairmont North Tustin campus for 3 years. I thought it had a health office and health…read morestaff (I'm not even asking for an RN, just a health staff member), just like other schools. All Irvine public schools have health rooms and health staff on campus. Stupid me -- I assumed that at the very least this so-called private school would have such a fundamental facility and staff. But no. Today I found out there's no health office and no sick room where a child can at least lie down for a while until a parent arrives. I'm in shock. What kind of risky, scammy school have I put my child into for the past 3 years? This campus just spent a lot of money on expansion and also raised tuition fees. It's ridiculous to find out that behind all those price increases and fancy upgrades, no one seems to care about students' health -- and none of that money appears to have gone toward improving health support for the kids. No health office. Not even one health staff member. Not even a sick room for students to rest. -- In response to your reply: Thank you for reminding me -- although your non-medical staff determined (since there is no health clerk or school nurse on campus) that "it's better to remain in an upright position in a chair, while ensuring attentive care and comfort," when I arrived, my pale six-year-old child was kneeling on the ground, coloring on a piece of paper and using a wooden bench next to the reception desk as a flat surface. There is no health clerk. The temporary reception teacher was busy with her own duties. I did not see any "assured attentive care and comfort." Instead, I observed teachers who appeared reluctant to be involved, likely because without a designated health staff member, temporarily caring for a sick child simply adds to their already full workload. Where is the "bed" or the "attentive care and comfort" you mentioned? All I saw was a small, cold wooden bench near the reception area, with people walking around. Considering the level of tuition families pay, our children deserve more than this. Three different staff members confirmed to me yesterday that there is no bed available for a sick student. Therefore, the only way I was able to learn that such an option supposedly exists was through a Yelp review. Reality is reality. Parents, please do your research before sending your child to a so-called private school: * Is there a health room or a designated sick resting area -- like those available in Orange County public schools? * Is there a school health clerk available on campus -- as in Orange County public schools? * Do teachers even know whether the so-called "bed for sick students" actually exists? Despite the amount of money families invest in a private school that lacks even fundamental health support, it is worth considering whether the absence of a basic health office or a health clerk could place students at greater risk in certain situations.

SJDL has truly been more than just a school to us; it has been home. The most beautiful part of our experience has been the journey in faith. Watching my children grow not only academically but spiritually has been such a gift. Faith isn't just taught here; it's lived every day. Over the years, we have met incredible families and built friendships that will last a lifetime. Our children have formed strong bonds with classmates, and those friendships have grown year after year. There is something very special about being part of a community where everyone genuinely cares about one another. One of the things I have always appreciated is the small class sizes, usually around 15 to 18 students. It allows teachers to truly know each child, not just their name, but their personality, strengths, and areas where they may need extra support. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure every student feels seen, supported, and safe. Knowing that safety is always a top priority gives parents incredible peace of mind. I've also seen the school grow and evolve over the years, offering opportunities in sports, theater, and other activities that allow students to explore their talents and build confidence. After 21 years, I can honestly say choosing Saint Jeanne de Lestonnac was one of the best decisions our family ever made. We are forever grateful for the love, faith, education, and community that SJDL has given us.
