We are very happy with our time at Baldwin. My older one is in his 5th year at the school and has had amazing and very experienced teachers who truly care for each child's overall development and well being. The principal is also doing a fantastic job and is open to receiving feedback and taking action where it is needed. The school has also introduced many extra curricular programs such as theatre, music, art programs along with afterschool sports, STEM, book club etc. for overall enrichment of children. It is a smaller school, but the community is amazing and the office staff is very polite and inviting to families. I would 100% recommend this school. Not to mention, it will be an official STEM program option starting 2027.

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.

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)
