Ramona Junior High School

The parent who gave the 1 star review had to be taken to court to get her to pay her children’s tuition. The negative review is simply retaliation for this. She also kept her children at the school for the entire academic year. If she felt her children were not protected why would she keep them there? Also, her children have come back to visit & spent the whole day in that “horrible” teacher’s classroom. I guess he can’t be that bad.

A gem of a school. My son attended TK at this school. Mrs. Del Castillo is simply fantastic. I don't have a single negative thing to say about her. She is so creative and fun, and she really knew how to bring out the best in my strong-willed child. I'm so grateful for my son's experience at New Hope.

We have had such a wonderful experience at SMMS. My preschooler is learning so much every day through engaging, age-appropriate activities like hands-on centers, early literacy, creative play, and social-emotional learning. The preschool teachers are incredibly caring, patient, and loving, and they truly make each child feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. My son, who is now in first grade, is thriving academically and socially, and it’s clear that the strong foundation he built in preschool has made a big difference. The elementary teachers are supportive, encouraging, and dedicated to helping each student succeed. The office staff is always friendly, helpful, and organized, making communication easy for families. We also love the strong sense of community—families are welcoming, and there is a true feeling of fellowship throughout the school. SMMS has been such a positive and nurturing environment for our children, and we are so grateful to be part of it.
