If your child is an athlete, this school is for you. If not, sadly your child will be looked at as inferior, not only by the athletes, but staff and admin as well. Athletes are allowed to bully, harass, make inappropriate comments about females, etc, etc. The list goes on and on. When the issue is brought to the attention of the school, nothing is done. Essentially a blind eye is turned because they're athletes. Clearly a division title is far more important than the well being of a non-athlete student.

This is a wonderful school! Principal is attentive to any concerns with learning. Lots of community support and family events. My children are thriving here. I would highly recommend this school.

Santiago Charter Middle School is a fantastic school! I recommend Santiago to any parent without hesitation or qualification. When you visit the campus, you will immediately notice the caring atmosphere because every staff member is amazing (shoutout to Dr. D and Mrs. Pedroza, co principals, for giving this school the big heart that it has)!! If you’re on the fence, give them a chance by attending one of the campus events to hear what they have to offer and what sets them apart from other schools. For example, how many middle schools offer international travel opportunities? My daughter went on a 10+ day trip to Europe and made wonderful memories with her friends. Again, this school has it all (including pre-AP!) and so many parents I’ve talked to all agree it was amazing for each of their kids. No regrets!
