The test scores seem to say it all. It should not be acceptable to have any student not meet the standards why do the scores drop around 4th grade? Most 4th graders have been at the school for 4 years so what does that say about the school? Parents need to get more involved in changing the school so it can be something to be proud of instead of a 71% of student not "meet standards" kind of school. Many of the teachers are so overwhelmed that they end up not meeting the needs of their students. The reading standards are closer to being meet by all students because of the teachers "Reading SEEDS" program not because the curriculum and teachers

Sadly, this school put my child with special needs in danger and then completely abandoned her. This was our home district and we were happy to get my children into what we thought was a kind and inclusive school community. The problem at Miles wasn't the teachers, they are caring and creative, the problem is poor resources and ineffective and inflexible administration. The district will try to get out of paying anything they can for students with special needs. I had a letter documenting my child's need for an aide from her developmental pediatrician and they had the data from the school showing she clearly needed 1:1 support but they still would not provide it due to the cost. When my 5 year old got away from her teacher who was in charge of a whole kindergarten class and ran into a busy street they finally recognized that she needed some aide support. That was several months into the year when she had already been endangered by their reckless policies. Then when school went to online only in March 2020 and my 6 year old child with special needs could not learn that way, admin just gave up and refused to educate her. They would not bring her in for tutoring or any services, nothing, even though her special ed teacher recognized that she could not learn online and wanted to teach her in person and felt she could do it safely, admin refused and completely abandoned her. The school has remained shuttered for an entire year now, 12 months, to students who desperately needed in person education, what a travesty, I feel terribly for any students stuck in TUSD who needed in person education and have list out on so much. I am so incredibly thankful we got our kids into CFSD, they are doing an excellent job educating all children safely even during a challenging year and are a much more welcoming and inclusive community!

This is Faizi My kids love this School and love their awesome teachers. Thank you Everyone for doing hard work with students

This school sets you up well for the future with a great counseling department and effective teachers. Yes, there is a hefty workload, but this is communicated to incoming students before they enroll. It has a good environment and a helpful staff. If a student can stick with it and get through their freshman year, I can guarantee they will be successful through their high-school career and beyond.

My child attended Santa Rita High School and experienced bullying not only by the students but the teachers as well. I had the unfortunate experience of walking up to my son's classroom and witnessing an uncontrolled environment, verbal abuse and humiliation, not by the students; the instructor. Teens have enough to worry about without the extra stress. More progressive conflict resolution and verbal communication skills by staff are in order. Perhaps the model of Jaime Escalante should be taught in schools. Kids are different in today's times so it stands to reason that the old methods for discipline are outdated for handling todays concerns. The answer is not to get rid of troubled students, but to aknowledge they have choices and to help them make the right ones through education. As long as schools are supported through our taxes and Federal funds there is an obligation to teach every student so that they can give back to the community with self esteem and skills aquired. Not every student will be pleasant to deal with, a teacher molds the student over time with care and lots of patience. It is a thankless job, the reward comes from being the catalyst for a positive change and observing the results of your impact on the student. Small drops of water make huge craters in rock over time. Reward small progress and notice something positive in your students, write positive comments and watch the garden grow. Troubled students are the opportunity to fix what is broken. They are the symptom not the problem. The time taken to have a positive impact will reward you years later. I have heard of students coming back years later to see their teachers in nursing homes just to thank them for being their greatest support.

This program helps students who cannot attend classes for a variety of reasons. This helps students attain their education despite difficult circumstances.
