Most recent honest review of this school;This school has recently received the ‘title 1’ merit due to being sandwiched between 3 low income housing complexes- yet the surrounding outdated, inefficient homes are shockingly overpriced (6k+a month). The district has a long history of being non-transparent, and the school has repeatedly failed to adequately support students with special needs—there have been multiple lawsuits over the years. Enrollment is so low that numerous grade levels have been combined into multi-age classrooms. The newly built Pacific Sky School is drawing away both tenured teachers and students, further destabilizing the campus.The few long-term, tenured teachers who remain are exceptional and deeply committed, but it’s hard not to ignore the risk of them retiring or leaving soon, which is happening now. Leadership turnover has also been a problem, with 4 principals in just 3 years. The current principal is a welcome change—dedicated, hardworking, and genuinely trying to improve things—but faces systemic challenges.To make matters worse, this is the only open-campus park/playground within safe walking distance for the community, yet it is often closed without notice during the summer months so the district can run paid camps, limiting access for neighborhood families. This practice, combined with poor communication, further erodes trust.This school is also the hub for temporary foreign exchange students, creating a strong language barrier, student turnover rate and inadequate test results.If I knew these things before I started myChildren here, I would have explored alternative options. Especially before purchasing/renting a home in the surrounding neighborhood.
