...This post is addressed to all affiliated with Santa Clara Elementary School...As of Monday 2-2-15 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.... read more

I have had my child enrolled SCES for a couple years now and I can tell you from my personal experience that it has been THE BEST decision of LIFE! I previously had her enrolled in a public school and I would get called way too often. She wasn't excelling in her academics and maybe.....just maybe falling behind. Thankfully that was only for kinder I set out to look for a private school for her with smaller class sizes that can give her more attention and structure. I set out on my search and looked into the Catholic Schools in the area I looked into St. Anthony's and Guadalupe they weren't the right fit once I went into SCES I was greeted with such a warm welcome and they just made me feel so comfortable. My daughter first year at SCES was AMAZING!!! She completely turned it around with her academics! This school has so many things they involve the parents with and they honestly make you feel like you are one of the family. I always tell them that enrolling my daughter there has been the best decision I have ever made and I thank them as much as I can. read more
