2025-2026 Was the 1st and last year for two of my children. The experience from most teachers was horrible, I had to constantly make appointments with not only the teachers but the principal. On top of it not all teachers respond unless I cc the rest. They run classes very strictly, yet the teachers
Posted by a parent on 6/3/2026All of my children went to this school from kindergarten to 8th grade. In the early grades teachers were caring and supportive and so was the administration. In the jr high grades the staff and administrators became uncaring, non supportive and treated my children and myself as a burden whenever som
Posted by a parent on 6/13/2025Santa Fe is our neighborhood school and it has a wonderful sense of community. The class sizes are very small and my daughter has learned so much from her dedicated teachers this year. The PTSA really dedicates a lot of time to make events special for the kids and families.
Posted by a parent on 4/18/2023Autistic children learn negative behaviors here because of lack of staff support and supervision. Then they offer The ACES as a way to move your child away from them... The ACES is definitely not a school for High Functioning Autistic children to grow.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI had my son in Alta Loma many years ago and after moving away we are now back in the community, and although this is not our home base school I made it a priority to now have my daughter attending. I had the most amazing experience with my son that I wanted my daughter to experience it as well. All of the teachers and staff have been so incredibly supportive with helping give her the best experience. I would highly recommend this school to anyone moving into the area.Parent Review1mo ago - Ira A Murphy Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy step daughter has been going to this school for a while. All this time that she has been here was terrible for her. The vice principal at this school has been picking on my step daughter. I do not tolerate this behavior. I do not recommend Ira Murphy for anyone. The staff here is terrible. They never want to hear anyone out and make so many false accusations. If I could take my step daughter out of this school, I would. She has been complaining to me about her school and the staff there. I absolutely do not want to see any other kid feeling this way. Seeing my step daughter looking miserable everyday after school makes my heart shatter and fills me with anger. This is a terrible school and no child should have to go through this.Parent Review1y ago - Peoria Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school use to be great. I have 3 kids, 2 went from start to finish, my 3rd is almost done and it can not come soon enough. The teachers struggle with support. There is no training for teachers in special education. The ladies in the front reception are great, but otherwise it's gone so down hill. There is no consequences from admin if you bully other kids. So much infact they will bully you personally as a parent. Sadly there isnt much around this area for schooling options so best of luck if you buy a house in the area. Peoria unified as a whole is a disaster.Parent Review7mo ago - Cotton Boll School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCotton Boll needs to have much higher ratings than what is above. It is an excellent school that goes above and beyond. Thank you to the admin that is visible on campus and to the teachers that truly care. I know sometimes teaching is a thankless job but know you are so very appreciated by many. The talk about the school is so positive and the community greatly appreciates you. Thank you for making a difference.Parent Review3mo ago
