This school is not aware of what happens on their campus. They are not aware of the bullies or the students who cause problems with new kids intentionally. They start rumor and pick on the kids then turn around and play victim. There are some teachers at the school related to some other students causing issues and they use their authority to keep those kids out of trouble. We already spoke to the school before the situation got out of hand. Now they keep threatening and trying to meet up after school at a park behind the school. They have family member calling and making threats and no one is doin anything. The school sets up these pointless meditator programs and even places the victim in ISS. I have had several family members come to this school and get messed with by the same 5 boys. Why are they not being looked into. There are school camera they need to start utilizing them because there is a lot of things goin on, on their campus that they are not aware of. This school has a bad history of bullying. It's obvious they are not able to protect the students. It's sad most of the schools in the Fowler school district are rated low with the most complaints.

Santa Maria is the best school for kids to go to and also the teachers are great are for what they do.The teachers also be nice and helped when you need it.I would give it 5 stars and Ms.Jealani is the best 6 grade teachers and she is the best

7/28/2025 I came to register/enroll my children in this school. We are new to the area. Their attitudes and phone etiquette was unwelcoming, then they tell you to ring bell and they will buzz you in. Once buzzed in they do not greet, they do not smile, responses are quick, with just seeing how unprofessional the office staff is makes you wonder about the school and your child's safety and education. If the office personnel has not been addressed of their actions, I can just imagine what type of teachers they have or how they are treating are children. I have a special needs son, I was asking certain questions and even the responses I received had me questioning the safety of my special needs son. I will be looking into other schools within the area first. The presence and attitude of your front staff alone place doubt in a parents mind. What a way to start off the school year representing your school. The office staff alone is part of your low school ratings.
