Chula Vista Learning Community Charter School

I’ve had my kids in this school since there was a pre-school, now one is high school and the other in middle school… we have had our ups and downs of course, but at the end of the day we love it… my daughter now in high school had an issue with bullying while she was in the elementary school and I remember the issue was immediately addressed and the other child WAS made accountable for their actions and had consequences. The issue was handled very well and my daughter was went back to feeling safe and happy. Not only that but she learned to stand up for herself and speak in defense for others as well. I have many many many hours of volunteering in the classrooms, in the playground, workroom and in the office EVERY YEAR!! I have seen parents come and go and complain the entire time there either because they had to volunteer or it was to much time they had to give their kids or why doesn’t the teacher help them more, just always something with them. It’s not for everyone… my daughter and my son were part of not only dual emerge learning English and Spanish but also Mandarin which they really enjoyed. The amount of work they are given is definitely a bit heavier, but I was always thankful for the teachers that were always available to help.. they have tutoring hours and different after school programs and clubs to help. I believe no school, teacher or staff is perfect, but I also think that bad experiences with schools, teachers, or staff can all happen everywhere else too. The most important thing for me is the connection that I see between my children and their teachers, the community and teamwork with their classmates, and the curriculum in the class work or homework they have and I am very proud of them and I thank the teachers very much… This pandemic has been INSANE for everyone and online studies have been difficult for many kids across the U.S I imagine.. but I did notice those late conversations with my son (who struggled A LOT last year during the pandemic) and his teacher who would help him with his homework. I am thankful for everything they have done. Like I said many ups and downs, my kids have NOT loved all their teachers, but MANY of them have really made an impact in one way or another in their lives and they are very close to them… I remember not liking my teachers, thinking I had to much homework, and feeling overwhelmed, but that’s life.

Horrible worst school my kids attended. A public school has was better

My son is on Kindergartner- transitioning first grade, the Spanish teacher is compassionate and caring - but in general, I have a terrible perception and experiences with the institution, there's no emphasis on the arts and they don't nurture creativity, is quite pragmatic and a lot - a lot - a lot of homework for young minds ( computer homework, math, English and Spanish ( all lessons from internet sources and not enjoyable for Kids.) Over the quarantine -online teaching - some teacher has poor content knowledge, misspell lessons, no mastery over the basic-kindergarten subject matter, no standard or average pedagogical knowledge. Also, my son has poor social skills ( only child no siblings,) when I asked for help they toll me to read articles and get my son involved on extra-curriculum activities- outside school ( I wasn't offered tangible support and my son developed a T-shirt-chewing necessity and every time I pick him up from school his shirt was wet from chewing it ( however, after the winter break and school were over my son stopped his chewing thing, back to school in the spring-back to chewing ( indeed a lot of anxiety in the classroom -chewing was a way of meeting a need.) The severity of how much my son was chewing his clothes at school was an indicator of stress and unhappiness for a young mind.

Pesima escuela, elementary school, no la recomiendo, ha terminado el proceso legal a favor y es hora de cerrar esto con nuestro comentario personal. Espero ayudar a algún padre que esté con la duda si esta escuela es la correcta o no, no se dejen llevar por los comentarios de padres que solo van a limpiar las mesas unas horas, sino padres realmente involucrados, que han tenido la necesidad de entrar a la oficina del terror y solicitar mejoras en la educación de sus hijos.

This school prides itself on the great things they accomplish but they do so by stressing out students, families, and teachers. Admin sit back and watch as everyone else is overworked and never address the underlying problems in not holding students accountable and the high teacher turnover rate. I’ve been great, dedicated teachers leave because of how they are treated and because real issues aren’t addressed.
