The new princioal is absolutely horrble. If your child has a learning or behavioral disorder, I would not recommend this school. Your child will be treated poorly. They are more concerned about the schools pretentious reputation and status rather than dealing with any child that fits outside the nor
Posted by a parent on 11/6/2025The new principal has demonstrated a lack of organization and poor people skills. Since her hiring, the overall quality of the school has noticeably declined.
Posted by a community member on 9/13/2025Very bored stuff, specially the head of the school claiming she’s kind, but she is exactly opposite. I don’t even want to think what they teaching the little kids avoid of all cost.
Posted by a parent on 8/14/2025Front office staff is not very helpful. They have preference at this school and it just became very clear to me. At my son’s previous school, Carter Elementary everyone was more welcoming and knew my son by name. At Washington Charter there’s no way of having that same friendly, welcoming environmen
Posted by a parent on 9/24/2024Hi, I used to be a student at this school. I look around this comment section and see many who disagree with the schools methods, which many I agree with. But they dont treat you any better even if you pay large sums of money, I used to be one of the biggest trouble makers at this school, and my

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son has been attending JCSD since Kindergarten and we have had the privledge of knowing and being educated by Mrs. Gould who is the most nurturing teacher any kindergartner and parent of want. She makes the transition from preschool to grade level so easy. She takes the time to get to know the child, understand their learing ability and personality and provides top notch teaching! My son loves the Jewish education he gets including Hebrew. I never would have known this was such a strong interest for him, had I not enrolled him in a school with Jewish teachings and values. To have a "value" each month that the kids learn and stive for is such a nice foundation for familiy discussions at home. We felt so welcomed when we joined the school, the families and other faculty/staff at the school couldn't be more helpful, and friendly. We truly enjoy being a part of this amazing school.Parent Review13y ago - Montessori School Of The Desert

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have been at Sacred Heart since 4th grade I have just graduated from 8th grade and I am now going to Xavier. Sacred Heart was truly a blessing to go to. I started when Covid first took over and everyone was on zoom. We got to in person school in early march. At first I was scared meeting everyone for the first time and seeing how everyone functioned at this school. At first it was confusing because I was a nervous wreck but throughout the years I’ve branched out and have made so many friends and even the people I don’t talk to I still think of them as family….Sacred Heart family. I’m love this school with a passion even though some days I would skip school on purpose I would always get funny stories from my friends that made a part of me want to go to school the next day. I am happy that Sacred Heart made it such an easy transition to high school especially for Xavier College Prep. Hopefully everything goes well for me in high school but most of all I hope you will send your kids here so they can have sacred heart shape them like it did to me.Other Review11mo ago
