Alisal Community School

Currently I am a student at UCSC and I graduated from Los Padres. My experience was good at the time but now I realize that I was not prepared for what was ahead, such as studying at a university level. I would like to inform the parents that our (yes I include myself) lack of success is due to the lack of resources. What I mean by this is that the lack of funding for education is hurting the students, but what hurts the most is that no one takes the initiative to fundraise for the schools. In my opinion the more activities a school provides the better because that will keep them involved and out of trouble. I think that in order for these children not to form part of the statistic of drop outs is to provide them with a rich education that leaves with them that day of promotion. I am tired of hearing others blame schools and teachers when the community can come together and fun for the student's learning. If anyone is interested in this issue I am talking about then check out the video on youtube titled "First to Worst" it has seven parts to it. Trust me watching it will change your life I say it because it happened to me. Fortunately there is hope.

I loved this school also. 1950-1956. Huge changes to the whole area. Teachers are no doubt all gone , Sapington, Johnson, Wilson, Ramos, Kamm, and Clayson. Loved them all. Dollie P.

Fremont Elementary school is an amazing school!!!!. They have many great events for students they have fun ways for students to learn . For example each month they host a raffle all the students just need to read and take A.R tests , if they get 80% or higher they get a ticket after the students take the tickets they got to the office where it's held till the raffle day . The school also has a pbs event where kids can switch classes and play games, watch movies and learn fun stuff . They have a great schedule and are super organized . There are also field trips to many fun and entertaining places .All teachers are nice and respect students boundaries . Not much bullying happens in this school and is friendly . I recommend this school if you live in the alisal area in Salinas California .

I have 2 of my kids attending this school and I have always gotten the help for any concerns I had with their education. The teachers and principal are reliable when it comes to resolve any issues. The Teachers my kids had, and Ms. Villanueva are very nice and very responsible. I love this school and highly recommend it.

So far my son has been there 3 years. While the administration has been lacking the last 2 years, the teachers are what keep Creekside going. Thanks to the amazing teaching staff there, my son it reaching his potential and beyond.
