i was sceptical at first, but overall the school has had a positive effect on my daughters self esteem and grades.

I was unsure about what we would get from Aptos Jr. as you hear negative stories around town, but when I stepped back I realized that those stories were from people whose children did not actually attend the school. We gave it a go and are so happy that we did. My daughter has had a truly amazing experience here. Her teachers are warm and welcoming, the principal is amazing and goes above and beyond for her students. She has made this school into a place students want to be. My daughter is being challenged academically, especially in mathematics. She participated in the wheel of electives this year and has tried many new subjects that she otherwise would not have. The after school activities especially athletics have been really engaging and again opened her up to new experiences. There is always something to learn and do, during and after school. I am concerned about the District cuts but it does seem that school already moves mountains with the little district support it currently gets.

Our daughter has been attending Mar Vista for two years and we have loved this school since day one. All of the teachers and administrators have been amazing, and my daughter has thrived under their care. I am so excited to send my younger children there when they are old enough to attend.
