Santa Clara Elementary School is an exceptional place for child's learning beginnings. The entire staff at this school provide the children the opportunity to grow educationally, emotionally and help them become the students they need to be as they continue their educational lives and beyond. The administrator, teachers, staff members and parent volunteers are all very caring and loving in the ways they approach each child's needs. I love "the red school house" and the great job they do there!

The previous review is clearly from someone who has not not researched thoroughly. A recent talk with SPHS teachers indicated that Isbell students are more knowledgeable than students from other surrounding middle schools, overall. This was particularly true in math and science. Isbell's new principal, George Alessi, has turned the school in the right direction. Students are very well behaved as evidenced by a national CHAMPS trainers comments after a recent visit. Work production is closely monitored by teachers and the expectation is that ALL work will be completed to a high quality. I am very happy with my child attending Isbell. Teachers are competent and caring and have good interpersonal relationships with the students. The school is a happy place where high quality learning takes place. Parents need to support their community school and ensure they are part of the solution and not part of the problem.
