We love Crest STEAM Academy! Our kid have flourished here. Every kid learns differently and CSA does it’s best. Small classroom and enthusiastic teacher make this a great school!
Posted by a parent on 3/5/2020My husband went to this school and now my son is in Kindergarten. I was a little nervous going to such a small school, but it has turned out to be my favorite thing about the school. There is a lot of parental involvement and support. We have participated in countless activities and events that the
Posted by a parent on 3/5/2020The principal, Carmen Restrepo, is a absolutely horrible principal. Zero leadership skills, California education laws are broke daily. Please do your research and come sit in the classrooms. Do not send your child here. This school looks “ok” on the outside, however it’s a facade.
Posted by a parent on 1/30/2020Was a wonderful school when we first started and was super excited to have my kids attend here. Unfortunately it has gone down hill with only one good, veteran teacher left. We pulled our kids out and couldn’t believe how much learning they missed out on. It’s sad to see such a cute school get run t

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school used to be a small family friendly community school that was welcoming, and inviting. Everyone knew everyone. Current administrators (principal Peterson and superintendent Johnson) have now made it anything but that. Dehesa students are now overshadowed by this "sports academy". No accountability or proper responses from the principal. She is never direct and fails to answer questions and concerns from community members and parents. You go in circles with her with no resolve. Leadership is not what it once was . The test scores are terrible and not climbing much. Teacher turnover is terrible. All classes are now combo classes. I've had friends who've moved their children to new schools and they were very behind and had a hard time catching up to grade level. Particularly in reading, ELA, and math. The last principal we had was the absolute best and was making changes for the positive. Seems now that she's not there it's taken a dramatic downturn. Looking for some better options but for now we're stuck. Don't make the mistake of enrolling your kids here unless the adminstration has a massive overhaul.Other Review3mo ago - Rios Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis principal actually tolerates bully’s. Don’t believe what they have in writing or shown in any handbook. Also, if your child gets hurt by a known bully, like getting punched in the mouth and loosing two ADULT teeth don’t expect them to get your child medical attention let alone call you.Other Review3y ago - Christian Elementary East School
