I have to say, I love Calaveras K-8 school and the entire staff. Recently the district rezoned and…read morethat meant my child after only attending Calaveras was to go to a new school. I was not in favor of that; nor was he. No longer having bus transportation, we drive him everyday so he can continue his education at Calaveras. The principal, Christine White and Resource Coordinator, Andy Parra are excellent; extremely helpful and very approachable. All Calaveras staff; office, lunch, maintenance, etc. are stellar; and the teachers, well, I can't praise them enough; all have been excellent. My daughter just graduated from 8th grade at Calaveras and my son is attending the Achievement Academy this year and loving it. I wouldn't change anything. Thank you CALAVERAS.

St. Mary is a family to us. Kinder grad was so sentimental. Faith formation was invaluable with…read morereligion classes and First Communion. The teachers support our children intimately and the environment provides so much security and growth. We have grown to love the other students and families. It's hard to describe how special this school is. We knew it the moment we stepped foot in the hallway. To hear children singing Christian songs in the morning, to morning prayer during AM assembly to children re-enacting Stations of the Cross. Every school mass has children leading. To hear their angelic voices in unity during mass is more precious than gold. Our children pray fervently and with full faith. I can't thank St. Mary enough for the intentional care each faculty and staff member pour into the children. I highly recommend St. Mary

When Student was 11 and got A's in her college courses. We had actually informed Student that since…read morethese were college courses (and no other options were available that semester with Covid) getting F or D's were perfectly Ok - even expected. When I saw she had near perfect scores, I was impressed, but I also felt burdened. I knew I had a child that was going to need excess resources and there wouldn't be a clear roadmap. Normally I would teach and coach her in math, chess, homework, computers, tech etc. But I feel the roles got reversed really early. I don't know if it's a national or international issue, Santa Clara or Gilroy, but I've seen a trend recently a lot of students have been leaving SC schools: eg students getting pulled out for homeschooling (so much so that CA agencies are aware of this trend). Other Asian families in the Gilroy area complained the local schools were racist, prejudiced. Unlike some nearby schools, whether it was a student like ours that needed special academic challenges, or other students with diverse or difficult backgrounds - (I want to make clear that most "trouble" students are actually extremely bright. I also think many, many students are capable of college level study early. Just the logistics can be really difficult) - St. Mary's welcomed both the students and families, parents into a large family. Now Student is 14 and mom purchased a brand new race motorcycle for her. She plans when she turns 15 to ride legally (as CA DMV allows). So it's really a matter of months that she'll have her own vehicle, and riding motorcycles on her own. There was this really narrow window of opportunity for teachers and staff, administration, other families and parents to help Student. St. Mary's really was (not just saying; actually) formed a village and gave the guidance, help, teaching, discipline, love and faith needed - really very badly needed - to send Student and Family in a good direction. It's difficult for me to recall names, but... Thank you Principal Ervin, Mrs. Dowd, Mr. Williams, Ms. Layman. Thank you staff Mrs. Emily, Mrs. Karen Moreno, Mrs. Tanaya. Dawn for constantly reaching out to us, late night urgent text msgs to get media / projects we missed; including Student in all the media presentations. (I'm getting help on this comment so will be adding names). Thank you St. Mary's staff holding up an entire school travel bus just to take Student on board. Any other school would have just left Student behind. We completely forgot about the huge school trip. With my background, I really thought I'd be the last person having no idea how to parent. God, Jesus operates in and within St. Marys. God makes good better, and those in difficulty - healed. We were so blessed to have their Love and Faith; we watched not just Student, but many students taken in - regardless of challenges - improved, cared for, and sent to High School with Blessings. I remember multiple times really wishing St. Marys had a high school. I felt really insecure about us having aged out / graduating from Marys. We really appreciated the positive feedback from staff, teachers of our parenting. I'm not an expert, but I feel a lot of students this age - they're happy to get the dress they want for Prom / dance, the top-of-the-line GoKart, the best cell phone. But often, Student was very very disappointed I couldn't quickly get her a McLaren W1, the HP4 race bike equipped with "straight Akrapovic pipes"... I had to write emails to Service departments asking them not to take instructions from Student, as she had a $32,000.00 "mod order w/ rush" she put in herself on my vehicle; calls emails from MacLaren on the "new vehicle" I was apparently about to purchase. (She has admits having all my banking info and self-taught computer programming; went from creating AI entities / avatars on Roblox straight to hacking my accounts). Even though I knew Student would need to get a career and make her own money one day to buy McLarens, I did often feel I couldn't give Student the resources she wanted to pursue her interests / passions. St. Marys had that Holy Spirit or just kind-heartedness to compliment us on ways they saw good parenting, and that gave us a real sense of relief and satisfaction. Especially for me, I'd never been a parent before. (There's no reddit for this kind of stuff). Ideally, God is always in our lives, whether we have everything figured out or not. If or when you can't handle things, you need God. Whether your student / kids are already good, or facing challenges, God is the best option and St. Marys has God's presence to improve the students and families that go there. I recommend you do everything possible to have your child at St. Marys. Divine guidance / school is available in Gilroy.
