I don't know what that September 14th post is referring to. I can share this...we have looked at all elementary schools in our area (Tierrasanta) and none fit the bill for us.

As a parent of three children I've found that this is the best option for homeschooling that we have. It meets state requirements, the curriculum is supplied for you and the staff is wonderful.

I just read the post from April and wonder why this parent did not ask for help from the site lead if she was having so much trouble. The staff at both sites where my children have been served have always been open to suggestion and are always asking for ways to help.

A really bad choice for my children. They are inflexible, not parent friendly; and want you to do all the work. Disorganized beyond belief. Not Parent friendly. Where are my child's CAHSEE scores? I felt the fight for respect for my children wasn't worth the effort into this place. I had my child

They turned out worse than a regular public school where my constant intervention would not have been necessary and the blame for everything wouldn't have to rest on the family.

Greater San Diego Academy North County has the best staff ever! They are so supportive and they go out of their way to serve each and every child and their family. I like to refer to this group of staff as the 'dream team' because I have never seen such a cohesive and collaborative staff.

I have to say that this school has been a tremendous disappointment. We came here because we thought the headmistress/principal and staff woulf support us, but that has most certainly not been the case. The materials offered have been lackluster at best.
