Two of my daughters attended Valley Oaks for Junior High School. We were so happy with this…read moreCharter School, and felt we made the right decision to keep them out of the public Junior High. Mrs. Bryant was the most amazing Resource Teacher. She was patient, caring, and made herself available when my kids needed some extra help. Mrs. Bryant would give my girls their assignments and then look them over at our next appointment time. This school offers many Enrichment classes such as Math, Art, Music, Literature, basically for all classes. I hear now they even have Agriculture for the kids. I really liked the Enrichment classes because it gets your child out of the house for awhile and interact with other kids. I was very happy with the field trips offered each year. Science Museum, Calm, Red Rock Canyon, Camp Keep, and many more. They recently bought Carden Schools property on Brian way. It will be nice when they are finished with that. This school is K-12 and you pick your own curriculum. Also a great thing they offer is you can sign your child up for Vendor Services such as Gymnastics, Dancing, Equestrian Club to name a few. You can contact the school for more information on what they offer.

Office staff is very rude.

When I questioned why she did that, she made me feel like I was dumb, even though I was following their instructions.

My daughters were both students at this school for high school years. What an awesome experience…read morethey both had. Tehachapi Learning Academy also known as Tila is part of the Tehachapi Unified School District. So the kids enrolled can still go to activities that the Junior high and High school have. So sports, dances, assemblies they are included if that's what interest them. Also they will graduate and walk with the senior class. You have the choice to do some classes at the schools and also at home on the computer. Mine kids did only the online classes and came in once a week to take their tests. If your child is self motivated and disciplined they will really succeed in this program. My daughters only did high school so I can't give a rating or information on elementary or junior high. I will really miss the teachers and secretary at this school. Mrs. Hoffman is so nice and helpful, both my daughters loved her. Nichole at the front desk brightens your day when you go in. She was so good to my daughter. Mrs. Pulford would let my daughter take test in her office because it was quiet in there. I would not change one thing about this school. It was a great experience for our family.

From the owner: Heritage Oak is a Classical Christian school for grades K-12th in Tehachapi, CA. Our goal is to…read moresupport Christian parents in their calling to disciple their children to have passionate hearts and strong minds for Christ. (Deut.6) Heritage Oak offers small class sizes, a traditional liberal arts education, and sports such as cross-country and mountain biking. As the only Biblically based school in our area, we provide an education rooted in the Scriptures. We firmly hold to Christ's teaching that "...everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher." (Luke 6:40) Therefore, all teachers are expected to mentor and portray the Biblical values the school is founded on.

The teachers are great, the administration that runs the program from Bakersfield are lackluster…read more Their priorities on what to spend money on and what to chew the teachers out about are wacky. For the past several years parents have run fundraisers to pay for field trips. This year the admins axed the field trips. We still did fundraisers but they chose to spend the money on unnecessary classroom equipment. A couple of $2,000 filing cabinets. And they think the toys and play equipment are dingy. There is a storage container full of toys that the teachers periodically switch out, and parents happily donate toys all the time. Those filing cabinets and other junk should not be coming out of the classroom budget, and I am not fundraising for it. The administrators also berate the teachers about inconsequential issues when they sit in on the classes periodically. It is ridiculous. The epitome of bloated bureaucracy.

We love the teachers and the teachers love the kids. Anytime there is an incident we are immediately notified about anything that happens and I truly appreciate the structure that they give my son. He has learned and grown so much being around the teachers and while interacting with other children his age. Would definitely recommend Joyful Junction.

The AV Wall is a half-scale replica of the Vietnam War Memorial Wall in Washington D.C., and it is a mobile Vietnam war memorial that can be easily viewed by residents within Southern California. Check out their website at www.avwall.org. It is only displayed a small number of times each year, and display locations can be found on their website. There is also an option to donate to this worthy cause through their website. In observance of Veterans Day this year, I chose to visit the AV Wall at Westpark Elementary School as my way of showing kindness, admiration and respect for our Veterans. In my opinion, nothing is more honorable than a person willing to serve their country for the benefit of all those within it. While visiting, I met some kind individuals who were volunteers for this display, all of whom have served their country. I enjoyed just standing there while listening to their experiences, some fascinating and some tragic, with the magnificence of this awesome memorial as a background. If you have the ability to check out this tribute, please do so. If you miss this temporary display at Westpark Elementary, and you live in Southern California, then be sure to check out the AV Wall website for future viewing opportunities. Special note: The AV Wall display is currently planned to retire at the end of 2025, so if you'd like to see it, do it soon. Thanks again to the staff at Westpark Elementary School and the Southern Kern Unified School District for hosting this beautiful display. God bless our Veterans!
