I have been at the school for the last four years and have volunteered here a lot. I've been able…read moreto see the inner workings of the school inside the classroom and seeing the teachers in their element. The school was just accredited, meaning now 90% of their teachers have degrees , and if they don't, they are working on them. I have a child in middle school and I extremely shocked by the previous review. all the years I've been here I have never seen this school not handle serious situations appropriately. The school is a very good mixture of I believe, democrat and Republican families. Being a democratic family ourselves I have never received any mistreatment or harassment. I think it's important to hear that that from another perspective. I really love the school and would hate for it to get a bad rap because of somebody's bad experience or maybe just being a disgruntled parent. I have experienced this with my own business, when people are upset they say things that are not true out of anger. So I thought it would be good to come here and at least give my perspective.

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.

...This post is addressed to all affiliated with Santa Clara Elementary School...As of Monday…read more2-2-15 Antonio my son was pulled out of class and sent home due to non-payment of tuition. This is not the first time in the past few months they have done this to Antonio. The reason why he goes there in the first place is cause my parents agreed to pay for it, and that's been the fact for the last 9 years. Yes Antonio has been going there since kindergarten. Last year they stopped paying it and kept putting it off without my knowledge probably cause they didn't want to bother me with it or for whatever reason. The last pastor worked with my parents to keep him in school last year but as every month went by I Antonio's legal father was not notified until a few months ago. Not by certified letter or a meeting or even by pulling me aside at any morning I drop him off! But my notification was a phone call telling me to come pick up my son we can no longer provide services to him. I explained my side of the story and asked why I was never notified of this a year ago and that I'll be taking over all payments if my parents aren't paying it anymore cause I need to keep in school. I explained I can afford tuition but all the past due I'm going to have to wait until my clients pay me to pay it off. I made payments the last few months as much as I could and told them I'm still waiting on a few big checks from insurance jobs I've finished. On Tuesday I had a meeting with The Father and Principal to arrange a payment schedule to keep him in school after them pulling him out of class for the third time. I offered to pay off last years balance that day and pay regular tuition rates every month until my checks come in and then I'll pay the balance in full. After a short talk amongst themselves My offer was refused and they told me Antonio is no longer able to attend Santa Clara Elementary School. Let me do some math now, about 400 a month for the last 9 years minus the months off for break plus fee's comes to somewhere around $36,000+ Santa Clara Elementary has made off us. Now at the last four months before Antonio graduates from 8th grade they decide to kick him out? Wow, Just Wow....I'm still processing it all and trying to look at the good from this situation, like I said, I'm trying...My Money is good, I just don't get paid like a normal job, most of my clients are on a billing system and insurance jobs take even longer to pay....I don't know, I'm just real disappointed by this whole thing...But I'm not the real loser in this whole matter, Antonio my son is....

The teachers are all great - my kids had Mrs. Flores who is just a dream in every single way. Mrs Varela and Mrs. Washington were both amazing as well! I can't say enough great things about this preschool (I can't believe there even have one negative review) - They'll always hold a very special place in our hearts.

And I feel it's my duty to put it out there because a lot of parents I have spoken to that have children at this school are unaware. I'm sorry but that is just not right! I had to pull my daughter out immediately. Not only was the bathroom situation ridiculous the faculty was distant and rude. I want to know who is teaching my child. I want to feel that they care for my child. If I'm treated that way, how is my child being treated. I approached the director regarding the bathroom situation and she said unless they won the lotto the children will have to use the same bathroom. But there will always be supervision. REALLY?!?! Smh!!!!! What other school allows this?!?!?
