She said Teresa made her feel confident and treated her with such respect and was so patient with her. She said there is no doubt that she learned more from her than her actual teachers. My daughter is now in college and thriving! She brought her SAT scores up and she has more confidence now than she ever has because of Teresa. I highly recommend her. Yes I've paid for cheaper tutors they where a waste of time. You get what you pay for with Teresa , a real credentialed experienced teacher. Thank you Teresa. Sincerely, Rick, Evette & Diana Feigel

My son is rather selective regarding tutors and really appreciated her teaching style. She gave my son confidence that he could get through the math material.

The teacher Mrs. J is exactly like Ms. Mention from the Little Princess. Not warm at all to her students. My son came home several times during the year and stated that he hated himself and wanted to kill himself. I'd recommend the school for regular Ed, but steer clear for special education. Another parents words for her are "if she smiles, her face will crack". This may sound harsh, but sadly it's true. We've loved every other special education class that we've been in and every other school we've been to.

The school has a pretty tight community, mostly everyone knows each other. But unfortunately the…read morepunishments are hardly ever fair, small mistakes can lead to large punishments depending on the person that is lecturing you. The staff i recommend to stay away from is ms.liza, shes pretty awful and has managed to get half of the school to hate her, and im not exaggerating theres only around 20-30 students that actually like her.The staff are pretty bad, but a lot of them are also good; so its pretty much in between, but the fact that multiple high roles havent done anything about ALL the complaints they have got about this staff is awful. So many people have talked about her to the counselor, office lady, principal, the only ones who actually tried to do something was the 5th grade teachers, thats it. They hardly do anything whenever they get complaints, one of my friends in 3rd grade was being touched in her areas, and sexually assaulted; When this was reported by the parents they were told "its not considered assault until 4th grade" assault is assault. It does not matter the age. Now onto the community and people in the school, theres many friendly people that are worth talking to, but then 80/100 of the kids in our school are overly judgemental, no matter what you do you will most likely always be put down, looks, weight, size, eye color, skin color, hair color, style, voice, anything you can think of is talked terribly about even the things your most passionate about, the school is very opening to LGBTQ+ members though, and that does make me happy, but other then the staff, and the judgement the school is pretty cool, i only recommend it if your not too sensitive. But remember never change yourself for others no matter what.

The teachers are really what make this school. My daughter has been fortunate enough to have some…read moreamazing teachers that have been super active in her short educational journey. We moved from the east coast to California and it was quite the adjustment. Each teacher she has been with has taken a personal interest in seeing her success. I have thought about moving for better programs several times but every member of the staff here takes a large amount of pride in their work and you can tell by the way the kids talk about them. Everyone from the kitchen to the teacher's aids are well loved by their students and in their school. They had a pretty cute Spanish Club that she loved and always wanted to go to homework club until she got to 4th grade and had longer school hours. The lunch program is so wonderful and they use fresh produce from the garden the kids keep up! I wish I could pay for lunch online because I am always that parent that gets a notice, in the PO Box I don't check, about how she ate lunch there instead of whatever was in her box. It would be nice if they had more funding or students to be able to add more art, music, sports or other types classes. I have looked into driving a distance to be able to allow my children to participate in programs like orchestra, gymnastics or FFA. That seems to be rare to find in Northern California schools though as well. The 1-3 grades have a nice little after care program going on where they hang out until the big kids get out for those who have older siblings (or just want to play with their friends after school). Not having a bus that picks up at houses is such an issue. Might be the east coaster in me but we were picked up in front of our house or very close to it. If you don't have a school bus program that is good enough to get most of the kids to school then the pick up drop off area could be organized better. The website was just redone. I have to say I really like the emails that they have been sending out. Keeps me more informed. Though I can not see any of the attachments or calendars or photos on the web site. I asked about it and the "tech guy" said he doesn't make it anymore so he can't do anything about it. Told me that you can't see it on your phone, Safari or on internet explorer. Why would you pay someone to make a website that did not work on platforms that people most use? Whatever.. I guess I don't need to know when school is off. I will figure it out when I pull up and there aren't parents parked in the no parking zone. **************************************************************** Something that they cannot help but the parents attending could: The parking is so terrible here and none of the parents seem to want to get on the same page. The principle asks over and over again to not park in the drop off area and I am not sure why they don't understand. It would be so much easier if I could just drive in have her jump in the car and go. Alas, I have to park far away and pull my young baby out of the car to drag him all sleepy eyed to the flagpole while walking by screaming jumping children banging into me clutching my child scared of the children that are not scolded by their parents, too good to park in the parking lot, while they sparkly ask if I need help. Yes.. I need help from you to get your children to respect a stranger's space and understand how it is inappropriate to bounce into random people holding infants. Also.. I need help from you not parking in the drop off area so that I don't have to bring my poor bubby out of the car after he JUST fell asleep. Not something that the school can help. Just annoying to look at other reviews on school review sites and watch the parents bash the principle for having cars towed once. That has not happened since my children have gone here but some times I wish it would!!! They should auction off more of those preferred parking spots.. take my money.. it is so worth it.
