Honestly this school gets dumped on for no reason, although it looks bad and the reviews aren't high this school has improved so much and the people here are so kind.

The staff is like a family and we all want to work here and teach students. We have many involved parents who care about their children's education. Our new administrative staff is working hard to made things good for staff and students. The old reviews make me sad, and I hope others will jump in and give fair reviews on our wonderful school.

When I first went to the office to enroll my daughter at this school the front desk very rudely denied giving me the paperwork necessary to sign my daughter up for school stating I needed to *prove* I lived in the area first. I asked if I could take the paperwork home to fill out and bring back everything including proof of address when I was ready to turn it all in and she very sharply snapped back “we aren’t allowed to give out paperwork *until you prove you are zoned for this school*” it was a really uncomfortable way to come into a new school. Even after the fact I volunteered there for four years and supported my daughters growth in that environment. Last year our landlord ended up wanting to move back Into the house and so our lease was ending. It didn’t seem logical to stay in Fairfield because the schools after 5th grade are *not* good and have had serious safety issues for years. I attempted to have my daughter finish her last two weeks in their school on zoom due to us moving to Walnut Creek and was denied the ability to do so stating they didn’t want to have kids go back and fourth. So instead of her getting to finish her year with her peers, she was forced to end the year two weeks early. It was *really* unfortunate and upsetting. On top of all these things when I talked about the new school I was enrolling my daughter in, Tammy sarcastically told me I actually needed to be living in the area for her to be able to attend the school, insinuating that again, I couldn’t afford the area like she did when I first tried to sign her up for Rolling Hills. I am happy to say I was able to switch my daughter to a new school rated 9/10 and she loves it!

Matt Garcia has been a great credit recovery school for my daughter , the staff is very friendly and super supportive . The principal Cindy has been efficient and fair in handling a lot of sensitive situations with misunderstood, troubled teenagers . they could use some help with the annoying automated phone calls home , but other then that , Im a happy parent , and looking forward to watching my daughter graduate this year .
