So thankful to have found this incredible school. The kindergarten teacher Mrs. P is amazing, and…read moreso is the principal and staff. The school has a strong academic focus, but also places a strong emphasis on children's emotional and social development. The smaller class sizes are ideal and the CAES community is like a family. We chose this school over multiple private schools in the area based on the awesome school culture.

My kids both attended CAES (and the associated awesome preschool) when we lived in California. CAES…read moreis small enough that your children get very personal attention from their teachers but big enough that the social scene is diverse. Though the academics are current (Common Core-based), the teachers all practice "differentiated instruction," meaning they tailor their teaching to the different learning styles of each student. The school is like a big family with so many great parents, an active PTO, a devoted and caring school board, and fantastic faculty and staff who sacrifice early mornings and late nights to be sure our kids get the best possible whole-person education. My only complaints would be that (1) they don't have a cafeteria (though they do offer a "hot lunch" by way of fast food or class-sponsored meals), and (2) I'd like the school to have enough students that each grade would have its own classroom, rather than two-grade rooms (K-2 are single, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8 are double). So, it's not PERFECT, but it's the BEST. And the more the kids that enroll, the better it'll get.

So happy we chose Red Oak even though our son got into Earth Academy. Is the school perfect? No, but then again no school is perfect. Is the school amazing? Yes! The principal, teachers and staff were very caring and supportive. You can't go wrong with this incredible school!

The Principal at Red Oak elementary school, Mrs. L., repeatedly told an entire grade level that…read morethey have disappointed her. This happened a number of times during the previous school year and also several times during the school year prior to that one. The Principal's expression of disappointment was aimed at all students within the entire grade level, including those kids who didn't misbehave. The Principal's words were extremely upsetting to our entire family, including the elementary school student who is a well behaved kid. This kind of negativity should have no place at school. We entrust our children to school's care and expect the Principal and others to treat our kids with dignity and respect.

1 star because this school is still better than Westlake and other surrounding schools. I'm…read moreabsolutely appalled at how serious matters are handled here. A family member of mine (freshman) was sexually assaulted by other students (sophomores), and the incident was reported to the principal and another faculty member in person and through email. There was no follow up until my brother emailed the staff member who "handled" the situation himself, to which she responded that the problem was essentially "taken care of." Not only is that subjective (and in no way truly centers the comfort the victim), it is false. My [family member] received no confirmation of his bullies' consequence and was forced to believe that the issue was resolved. The fact that there was no further discussion/ investigation involving the parents is SO weird. Definitely felt like a coverup so that the schools in the Conejo valley could keep masquerading as safe spaces despite the many offenses of racism, sexual harassment, and bullying that happen way too frequently. You guys disgust me. YOU DONT CARE ABOUT OUR CHILDREN. The entire administration needs to be replaced with people dedicated to protecting our children and setting them up for success.

This school definitely has very unhealthy politics at play. Everyone in administration is related…read moreto teachers etc. The school has a religious spirit. Cares more about reputation and popularity. Does not handle conflict well at all. Plays favorites. Completely bias. Takes rumors and uses them against attacked individuals and runs them down ( the admin, teachers and head master). They boast about "my teachers can do no wrong, I have known These people for many years!" Leaving you wondering how many others they have said that to. When you stand there afflicted they tell you they have never had this happen. Its clearly false. They say "I know that family so they must be right". Them and theirs can do no wrong. This school should be held accountable but I do not believe they ever will be. Its an absolutely terrible place. If you don't bow down to them no matter what, you will be rode out the door based on lies, rumors, gossip, slander, favoritism. The people they have compassion for are the people they "know" or people with money. They pick on the weak, trust me, they will leave you speechless, unable to stand up for yourself or your kid, and will not use proper context when they create a file. Terrible ungodly place. Fake Christians. Judgmental and dishonest. My son like every kid is not perfect. But he was not discipled or cared for. They are absolutely disorganized and do not have any good way to handle conflict. They do not right their wrongs because they can do no wrong. Unhealthy, fake Christians.

Of course common core isn't their fault, because it's this dumb state. But they REALLY dove into it and chose the worst principals to teach. 2) The majority of teachers were extremely fake and only responded to bribes, otherwise your kids never made it to their "favorites." The only 2 teachers who really ever cared were Mrs. Guevara and Mrs. Hise (who I might note were a part of the old administration). 3) The administration went out of their way to sweep any bullying by kids under the rug and had a policy that the kids should walk away from bullies instead of reporting. In most cases the administration basically protected the bullies and facilitated their continued terrible behavior. When the bullies kids attempted to report any bullies to the teachers, the teachers would get defensive and cause problems for parents out of spite. 4) Beware if you are divorced parents. Over the years, I've come across enough divorced parents to know that they picked a parent to side with and went out of their way to make the other parent's life miserable. The parent who brought bribes, and who volunteered, gave and received gifts from the staff continuously. Butt licking like that only exists among dogs. Just warning ya, stay away. Not worth the stress. (And sure enough, their 10 star score on greatschools.org is now a 9. Wonder how long it takes before they keep dropping further.

I volunteered twice in one week and worked full-time to support his classroom success, even ensuring he had a dedicated 1:1 aide. Despite all of this, the school repeatedly disrupted his support system, constantly changing his 1:1 aide, pushing for excessive transitions, and trying to move him to a separate special education room--which was completely unnecessary and harmful to his progress. When I advocated for him and began picking him up twice a week to protect his mental health, the school retaliated by calling CPS--accusing me of causing anxiety, when in reality, they were the source of it. was anxious, frustrated, and overstimulated by the environment, not his home. Anyone who knows him can see how advanced, thoughtful, and emotionally aware he is when treated with respect and proper support. No family should be punished for protecting their child. What happened to us is a warning: if your child is adhd but gifted, and you expect meaningful inclusion and respect, be cautious. This school failed to provide a safe, consistent, and supportive environment--and then tried to shift the blame onto me as a parent. We have since withdrawn and are now seeking a school that sees our son's potential, not just his diagnosis.
