This school needs a serious change and an immediate update to its culture. My child’s kindergarten experience was extremely concerning. He dealt with frequent hands-on bullying, and when he went to teachers for help, he was dismissed and told to “stop being a tattletale” or to “man up.” We ultimately had to withdraw him due to the emotional harm he was experiencing in this system. No child should have to endure that.

If I could rate this school a zero, I would—but since the lowest option is a 1, that’s what I’m giving. This school is located on a military installation and primarily hires local military spouses as teachers and administrative staff. While community involvement can be a positive, in this case it creates complications, as many of the staff are our neighbors and active on local housing pages, making it difficult to give honest feedback without it becoming personal.Many parents, including myself, have had unpleasant experiences with the front desk administrator, who unfortunately sets the tone for the school. My strong recommendation is to hire non-military staff to ensure more professionalism and impartiality. It’s also crucial that front desk personnel possess basic customer service skills, as they are the first point of contact and represent the school as a whole.It’s telling that even the front desk administrator chose not to enroll her own child at this school, opting instead for an off-base option. We’ve decided to do the same—despite the inconvenience of an interdistrict transfer and a longer commute—because the experience at San Onofre Elementary simply isn’t worth it.

here my kids don't feel safe in a environment with gang wannabes bringing guns into campus and going into a lock down. Don't get me started on the teacher they sent my child home because he said something without raising his hand mvery unfair education
