Works Here: Santa Rosa Academy is a wonderful school for students. The nature of the school is embedded in personalizing education to the individual student needs. Academics and character education are taught daily, side-by-side, integrated and equally emphasized. SRA also celebrates and fosters reverence for patriotism and honoring those who serve to protect us in our communities and abroad. SRA launched its participation in the NSLP and has high quality, healthy, and tasty meals for students. The school leadership is second to none, just like its fantastic support staff and excellent teachers.

Niche User: Shivela Middle School was a place where there are so many students trying to find themselves. Middle schoolers are trying to find who they are in that stage of life, and are wild at the same time. I think that this school is a safe place to learn who you are. I do have to say that once in this school, students really have to fend for themselves and work to get what they want. The students at this school mesh well with MOST of the teachers. There was a lot of drama at the school when I went, I cannot say how it is now, but I know that the drama was too much at times. The drama did not seem to be in the way of learning in my experience, so Shivela did its job well.... Read 1 review

Senior: Honestly I found my time at Paloma to be some of the best in my entire school career. The teachers were majorly supportive and approachable, the material was laser-focused upon an efficient yet encapsulating and investing education that would entertain and enlighten. There were lots of opportunities for participation in not only the school environment such as ASB, NJROTC, etc. but also through services that contribute to the community as a whole. It is also extremely accepting of racial diversity, LGBT+, etc. there has been no discrimination that I am aware of, and overall the social atmosphere is generally positive and motivating in just the right way....

Alum: Well I was an athlete student kind of kid back in high school so I really can’t complain much. In the beginning we had trouble is birds who you poop everywhere cuz kids left their lunches out on the tables and floors inviting the birds. But towards my last two years at Elsinore High they really took a big step forward in cleaning up our school to get rid of these flying pests which worked out marvelously. The teachers were also top tier. I have very fond memories of my old school instructors like my History, English, and Science teachers. I’ve learned so much over my four years at Elsinore and it shaped me into the man I became today. Right now I’m studying to be a broadcast journalist at California Baptist University and I have one more year left until I graduate with my Bachelors degree.... Read 341 reviews

Parent: CMI has been a positive experience for all 3 of our children currently attending. Our daughter was struggling at her old school with an IEP and her grades were poor. She continues to have an IEP for processing information and the help she receives is stellar! Her grades are A’s and B’s and her confidence has also improved! Our 2 boys are doing excellent as well. As parents, one of the things we can do for our children is provide a great education. We feel we are doing that by sending our children to CMI. Not only are they getting a great academic education, they are learning leadership skills, discipline, teamwork, integrity, importance of following direction, and so many more life lessons! We love CMI!... Read 172 reviews

Parent: Berkeley Hall School truly is exception not only in academics, but a safe, loving, nurturing encouraging environment like no other. The administration is always supportive, open minded and there to listen to not only the students, but their families and entire faculty team. BHS and their entire team has continued to keep learning not only vigorous but enjoyable and socially engaging during these times. I have heard many families from other schools dissatisfied and disappointed. I had the opportunity at times to listen in to our children’s zoom classes and the students were so respectful and eager to learn. I could tell the teachers were very much invested to keep their teachings creative and socially interactive. It was nice to see the children happy and at times made me giggle at their remarks. The Berkeley Hall School campus is also breathtaking and creates a sense of calmness. My twins started in 6th Grade and I wish I had known about BHS sooner!... Read 52 reviews
