Bernal has been an incredible experience for my daughter! She loves the welcoming campus environment, and the teachers have been so encouraging and supportive. Their dedication made her transition to this school seamless and stress-free. It's clear the staff truly cares about the student's growth and well-being. We're grateful to be part of this community.

Santa Teresa has been a fantastic place for my daughter over the past four years! (Also, for my other daughter who graduated from ST last year (attended all 6 years).) She absolutely adores all her teachers; campus events are above and beyond (multicultural and harvest festival) and helpful staff. In the last couple of years, the school has gone above and beyond by adding a PE program, an art program, a spelling bee, and now a theater program, which has truly exceeded my expectations. The parent involvement is amazing, creating a wonderful sense of community. I couldn't ask for a better environment for my daughter's education and growth.

I have two teenagers attending Santa Teresa High School, and I can honestly say I've been very pleased with their school experience. It’s a great school overall, with a diverse student body, is a well-maintained campus, and while there is a noticeable pressure to maintain strong grades, it seems to motivate the students if anything to keep up with their peers. Like with anything in life you have to pay your dues, and being in high school is no different. If you study and put in the work your grades will reflect that. Students with failing grades may not be fully utilizing their resources correctly or are in need of some type of special education accommodation. From what I see many of the students at S T consistently perform well academically. I’ll admit that the homework load can be somewhat heavy, sometimes comparable to what I experienced in college, but it’s all part of preparing them for what is to come in the future.The guidance counselors are very friendly and knowledgeable. Any time I emailed their counselor she replied really quickly and was always happy to help. Both my teens are excelling in school and have great grades. Looking back, I’m really glad we decided to move to the blossom valley neighborhood and invest in the home, as the education they’ve received has been absolutely worth it. Initially, I considered sending them to Valley Christian, but after hearing so many positive stories from other parents whose kids had gone to Santa Teresa, I felt confident in my decision. Santa Teresa High School has set up my kids for success, so I highly recommend it. The neighborhood its located in is very nice too with a beautiful view of the hills. :O)
