La Costa Canyon High School

I am writing this review purely as a heads up to any parents of neurodivergent and/or special needs kids thinking of St John. We are heavily involved in the church and it was our hope to send our son to St John School. We invested lots of time and resources to making this happen. Our son has mild autism and adhd, which we were honest about up front. After three days of kindergarten, they told us they did not have resources for him and we were forced to unenrolled him. I am thankful this happened after three days instead of three months, however, we were led to believe they had resources to accommodate him. They boast about their learning specialists program on their website and have awards for inclusion displayed in the front office. Thankfully, we were refunded some tuition, but spent over $1000 in fees and uniforms and put in a lot of emotional effort making connections with other families. If your child has a diagnosis or IEP of any kind, I encourage you to keep your options open and ask a lot of questions. We are now happily enrolled in Encinitas Public Schools.
