My son has gone to this school for four years. The last two years have been amazing because we had…read morethe most incredible teacher. Mrs. Chavez taught my son so much in the 3 & 4 grade. We were lucky enough to have her twice since she moved from third to fourth. She would spend her lunch time tutoring my son when he needed just a little more help. She genuinely cares about her students and it shows. My son asked her to move to the fifth grade so he could have her again. I wish we would have been so lucky in the first and second grade. It wasn't the best experience. I feel my son did not mesh well with the teachers and they were very LONG years! Nichole and Cathy In the front office are really nice and helpful with all kinds of situations. We have appreciated all they have done for us these past four years. We are really hoping fifth grade will go good for us too.

She genuinely loves children and her job. Her staff is also very caring and ready to solve any problem a parent may have. Ms. Finneran, a first grade teacher, is fantastic. She is making the students bloom!

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.

Did I step into Idiocracy? I was under the impression that educators are student advocates, but i…read moredon't get that impression from Tehachapi High School and the Tehachapi School District. They had an opportunity to be outstanding and dispel rumors about their lack of commitment. From the wrong bus driver who should be fired to the district secretary who would rather escalate miscommunication by talking over me rather than defusing the situation and simply listen and acknowledge my concerns, there are some significant concerns I have about over the way public education is presented to the students here in Tehachapi. I got a call today from a pissed off son who said that the bus driver left him in an unfamiliar part of town. I'm guessing the driver assumed everyone knows their way around town. No dude...we just moved here... A couple concerns I have may be trivial, but they inspired this review. First, school, transportation department, and the district are difficult to reach and have no voicemail. That's inconvenient when I'm trying to find out where the bus driver left my son, who said he was "in the middle of nowhere." Second, the school closed all the water fountains because of Covid, but didn't tell parents ahead of time and neglected to provide students with any alternative except the "Brawndo" in the vending machines. So he didn't have any water from home without providing him with any water all day
