Santa Rita High School

Not a great school for kids with autism or ieps. So far not enjoying this school PTA is absent most teachers didn’t stick around for the trunk or treat 10 cars seemed to be only office staff.

The teachers here and all the staff are top notch. Couldn't ask for better. My kids luv going here.

Principal Loya can be a mean person with little regard for the feelings of others, this includes his staff. He is not the ideal role model for elementary school age children. A principal for this age group should encompass a warm friendly demeanor and motivate others with positive vibes. He is all about fear and bullying. During a conference, he was threatening to our child who was reluctant to come to school. As parents, my husband and I were shocked, appalled and angry at his lack of problem solving abilities with a small child. The logical way to handle this situation would be to comfort the child and explore the child's feelings and address the fears; not increase them. Offer positive incentives such as lunch with principal, or a warm fuzzy. We withdrew our child that day. An opportunity to educate and build a positive relationship was wasted. His ability to own up to his failure by apologizing to our child was also wasted. He could have demonstrated that mistakes will happen but we can take responsibility for our actions and make it right. As the clincher to the meeting , he let us all know, he hates his job and still has to come every day.

This school is horrible, the students here don't learn anything knew, because the teacher's just give them awnswer's, some teacher's just like to stress out kid's, giving tn's of work that has to be due in a day or two and top it with ton's of homework. The teacher's like to teach with intimidation than patience, the rule's are also so useless, and stubborn. Not only that but they do not respect guardians or adults at all.
