These people here especially the actual teachers care nothing at all for the students well being and academic progress. I don't know if it's them being underpaid or what. It's really bad though. You have to have coffee, brunch, lunch, and dinner with them as well as call the school and email all year long for them to do their jobs. It's really bad. If my child didn't have a smart family, my child would be messed up. Encina does not care. Don't waste your time. They've known my kid for years (a well behaved kid they say) and they don't care to intervene when something seems off. They pretend it doesn't exist. Knowing them for years means nothing. They won't care about the kids. Ever. I hate we got stuck here. If you don't have time to be on their cases each day, don't enroll. The portal doesn't work, nor is it regularly updated so they make being an active parent pretty tough. Good luck people.

I am admittedly the "hover mother" of all "hover mother"s, so before the school year began, I sat down with my soon-to-be-kindergartner's teacher and principal (seperately) and questioned them about safety procedures, emergency protocol, how they would keep me child safe etc. Well, my husband noticed on the second day of school, that they were not following protocol (or what they told us was protocol) and ended up losing my child between the time he was left in their care in the cafeteria, and time school began. They were not even AWARE he was in the wrong classroom, until recess when he saw his regular teacher.. she had no idea he was even on campus. The school didn't notify me until I picked him up at the end of the day, and continually dismissed how WRONG the entire situation was. I immediately pulled my child from the school. I would NEVER recommend a parent sending their child to this school. The children simply are not safe there.
