7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur two daughters recently moved from a private school to Roosevelt. We decided to make the move, because we really connected with Principal Galindo. She shows genuine care for the children and goes above and beyond. Now that school has begun, I can say that the teachers for both of our children are great and the community is extremely friendly and engaged. I have no experience with special education, but I assume it is excellent. Roosevelt is a great place to send your kids!Parent Review6mo ago - Santa Barbara Senior High School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNot a good school for students who aren't White or Hispanic. Asian, Biracial and Black kids are seriously bullied and singled out. Not only by students but by staff as well. This school sits high on the systemic racism wagon. The principals blame the victim and not the abusers at this school. God forbid if the abuser is white. The teachers are pretty bad when it comes to teaching and explaining things to students. I have one child that has graduated and two still enrolled. I hear some of the worst stories from my children and after having conversations with the school I feel like there is no hope until they get rid of leadership.Parent Review4y ago - Santa Barbara Junior High School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI gave this three stars because my daughter was happy there, socially. Not a great school for high achievers. Mixed bag of teachers and an absolutely terrible principal that should be replaced. He's apathetic and unapologetically dismissive with parents and students. I noticed in earlier reviews that parents loved the principal, however those reviews were PRIOR to Principal Lito M. Garcia being appointed to this position in May of 2011. The school tends to focus on bringing the bottom up to improve school test scores, and doesn't provide much support or encouragement for good students to reach beyond the formulaic and unchallenging Honor's classes..Parent Review10y ago
