To be completely honest, this school doesn’t do a great job at enforcing what is in their handbook. As a former student at STA, I’ve witnessed much of what the handbook describes as ‘zero tolerance’. If throwing Nazi salutes and telling women to go back to the kitchen is ‘zero tolerance’, then why a
Posted by a community member on 5/20/2025Teachers teachers and staff are fantastic. Teachers differentiate for each student so whether your child is a little behind or a little advanced, they will be challenged daily. We love the school.
Posted by a parent on 10/10/2016St. Thomas Aquinas is an outstanding school with excellent teachers and administration. Almost all of the teachers have advanced degrees and genuinely care for their students. I have 2 children that have attended pre-kindergarten all the way to 8th grade and two children getting close to graduation.
Posted by a parent on 3/28/2016I went to St. Thomas Aquinas from kindergarten all the way to 8th grade, and I can tell you right now that I had an absolutely incredible and one-of-a-kind experience. The teaching staff is ridiculously amazing - I learned so much in every subject and was so well-prepared for high school that I star

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a great school with a very active PTSA. Our teachers are go above and beyond with communicating what’s going on in the classroom, what’s going on in the school, and topics where your child could use extra practice at home. The PTSA provides many opportunities for families to meet and be engaged in their child’s school and education. They are always looking out for advocating for the needs of the students.Parent Review2y ago - Palm Valley Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere are far better schools than this. The principal is a joke and does not know how to manage staff. If you have any situations where you have to contact the principal, you'd do best to get it in an email. They will try to mistreat the child should you have complaints and if they do something wrong, they will blame the child and take steps in making sure the child appears to be the problem. They do not appear to know how to handle children with special needs. Suggestions for conflict that may arise with this school or with school within this district- get everything in an email, record all conversations, go to the principal but follow up with the district, having an advocate through any and all complaints would be ideal. The staff here will smile in your face, but they are not friendly and do not care for the overall wellbeing of the child. Protect your child and your peace of mind.Other Review3mo ago - Corte Sierra Elementary School
