Ms. Pastoriza (K & 1st) Ms. Wong (2nd) both instructors did an amazing job with thier teaching. my son was comfortable and well educated. Not to mention that at any point in time he fell behind they were quick to let me know. However; for some reason this year (3rd) a lot has changed. They didn't have a christmas showing wich was very dipressing & his teacher whom I still do not know her name because she spends more time absent than her entire class combined. And when she does decide to show up shes late not giving me an opprotunity to speak with her. This isn't the first teacher I've heard who does this thus the one star reduction. But the second star was taken off because of the lack of the christmas performance and parent teacher assemblies. I forgot to mention my son was awarded student of the month for February 2014 and his teacher "forgot" to mention it to me. That was very upsetting! I didn't get to see my boy receive his award. Overall some teachers take thier job seriously, but due to those who simply do not care I gave the school 3 stars.

Mrs Leonard (who unfortunately is no longer at JES) and mrs Alvarez were the best team of 1st grade teachers I have ever come across. The field trips were great, her class was well behaved and her educational structure was fabulous. My son didn't want another teacher for 2nd grade ... He wanted to keep mrs Alvarez because she made it a point to TEACH. Someone mentioned she was racist?! In Salinas ... Really?! That actually made me lol. Unfortunately, teachers now-a-days have to babysit uneducated parents. We have to understand that teachers have a class of 27 or more kids with NO ASSISTANCE! Give them a break and teach your kids to behave so someone else doesn't have to do it. Do homework with your kids which will help with building their educational foundation. I can't speak for all parents but I fully appreciate all that Mrs Alvarez and JES teachers uphold.

As an alumna of this school, I must say, the greatest memories I've ever had while growing up took…read moreplace here. I recall talking to the supervisor, Bob (may he rest in peace) and him constantly telling us to hold our horses while we waited impatiently to get our lunch, talking about Barbie, or simply making us giggle with the many things he had to say. Mrs. Casey's 3rd grade class, where I wrote "Mathy" instead of "Cathy" while doing a math worksheet (I still tell that story, to this day). I had great joy in taking part in the after school GATE program with Mrs. Loy and making zucchini bread. I loved when it rained because that meant that everyone in our 4th grade class (also taught by Mrs. Loy) would get a nice cup of hot cocoa. I remember bidding the music teacher farewell as she retired (Mrs. West, I believe it was). Ms. Myers', art class; oh the joys of playing with paint and using a marshmallow as a makeshift sponge to get that circular shape for our caterpillars. 5th grade Science Camp with Mr. Mayfield, those were the days. Being a 6th grader and feeling like we were finally at the top of the social pyramid. The many field trips we had throughout our years or the days at recess when we would take turns on the swing as someone counted to 90. They were all wonderful moments that I will cherish forever. I don't know how much the school has changed since I've been there, but the many friends that I have made, the teachers that have taught me; if I had the choice, I wouldn't choose to attend any other elementary school. It was amazing. The carnivals equipt with dunk tanks and the snow cones or popcorn sold every Wednesday added to the greatness of it all. It has to be one of the best experiences I've ever had. They prepared me for my future, as any school should. I go off to college this year, and before I go off to major in film and minor in anthropology at SJSU (and in four years hopefully teach abroad); I will be sure to go back and visit my former teachers before I begin my venture into the unknown because without them, I am almost positive that I wouldn't be an AP student or very literate for that matter. So yes, I think this school is pretty great. Maybe it has changed since I've been a 6th grader (about six years ago) but from what I can tell you, this school is one of the best in town.

The current Principal does not know how to run a school. Kids get harassed/bullied by other kids and the staff does nothing but continue to allow the disrespect/harassment.

Staff has favorites and if your kids don't fall into that category they allow bullying and harassment. If you want your kids to be bullied and disrespected by all means sign them up.

Every faculty member knows their name. Even the older students in middle school greet them with smiles and "Hi, we're so happy to see you!" That feeling of belonging is something we value deeply. Socially, All Saints is incredibly tight-knit for both families and children. As parents, we've made some of our closest friendships here because everyone seems to share similar values: involvement, kindness, and a genuine commitment to their children's well-being and academics. The students, too, have made wonderful friendships, and you can feel the sense of community everywhere on campus. Academically, our children amaze us with what they're learning at just four and six years old, but what sets All Saints apart is its equal focus on character building. Above all else, we want our kids to grow into good humans, and the school puts so much intention into raising kind, thoughtful, confident young people. It's truly special. The campus is beautiful, the teachers are passionate and deeply caring, and the after-school offerings are fantastic. Our kids love being at school so much that during breaks they ask, "How many days until we get to go back?" To us, that says everything. All Saints has created such a joyful, supportive, and enriching experience for our children. We genuinely couldn't imagine being part of any other school. We love, love, love All Saints. Go Saints!
