Please don’t! Our experience at Aguilar Elementary has been deeply disappointing. The school repeatedly failed to follow essential special education procedures and provided poor communication when issues were raised. Safeguards and data tracking were inconsistent, and our child’s IEP was not implemented as required. Despite multiple written concerns and meetings, the administration offered no clear or timely solutions. Families relying on special education services or expecting a responsive, accountable school environment should look elsewhere. I do not recommend this school

If I could give zero stars, I would. Mrs. Hamati the principal has been one of the most rigid and overbearing staff members I’ve encountered. She shows little to no understanding of individual student needs and absolutely no flexibility when it comes to circumstances that require compassion and support.Her approach is unnecessarily strict, cold, and unyielding—failing to foster a healthy or encouraging environment for students. Rather than working with families or finding solutions, she creates more tension and leaves students feeling unheard, misunderstood, and discouraged.In a role that should require empathy and communication, she consistently demonstrates the opposite. If you're looking for someone who nurtures growth and supports student well-being, unfortunately, that’s not what you’ll get here.

Terrible, as an 8th grader, this school is a bad choice. Some girls like drama, I’ll admit I do too, but this school is too much drama. You will most likely get into fights, the girls are very rude and mostly all of the kids are disrespectful. The teachers don’t really care that much and a lot of them are people you don’t really look forward to seeing. Save yourselves the trouble and don’t go here!!!

This school is honestly really nice for academics. It offers so many countless opportunities. Its main focus is college readiness. They will get you there no matter how much it takes. They offer Honors and IB classes so regularly to students under no pressure. I recommend if your child is really ahead or have a clear passion for their career and education. They even offer opportunities to students who have trouble in school I’ve noticed. They offer trade school to students who are working towards their career and a standard CTE class helps a lot. Lastly, their special education program is really nice.
