Please don’t! Our experience at Aguilar Elementary has been deeply disappointing. The school repeatedly failed to follow essential special education procedures and provided poor communication when issues were raised. Safeguards and data tracking were inconsistent, and our child’s IEP was not implemented as required. Despite multiple written concerns and meetings, the administration offered no clear or timely solutions. Families relying on special education services or expecting a responsive, accountable school environment should look elsewhere. I do not recommend this school

If I could give zero stars, I would. Mrs. Hamati the principal has been one of the most rigid and overbearing staff members I’ve encountered. She shows little to no understanding of individual student needs and absolutely no flexibility when it comes to circumstances that require compassion and support.Her approach is unnecessarily strict, cold, and unyielding—failing to foster a healthy or encouraging environment for students. Rather than working with families or finding solutions, she creates more tension and leaves students feeling unheard, misunderstood, and discouraged.In a role that should require empathy and communication, she consistently demonstrates the opposite. If you're looking for someone who nurtures growth and supports student well-being, unfortunately, that’s not what you’ll get here.
