Serra (Junipero) Elementary School

My son has thrived at St. John. He has attended since kindergarten and still loves the school.

I graduated 8th grade in 2021. The school environment is very collaborative and encourages social action in the community. Teachers try to relate learning to what is going on in the world, so there were some content areas that did not fully prepare me for high school.

It was in eighth grade class last year(2024)It was nothing compared to my elementary school; which was amazing. Here, they do barely any of the things they say on the website. They support girls more than boys, have like 51/52 percent of white kids. They barely celebrate any cultural traditions that would actually be fun. We had LOADS of homework; that became overwhelming. They have NO special education, for kids who need real support. I dreaded going to school everyday; since I was there since fourth grade; and fourth grade was the only best year I had there. There was bullying last year, and no teacher or staff helped the student at the moment. We went to Puerto Rico for school and it was okay; it could have been better. Too hard of math, history, and science. I have seen many kids share food with each other which they are not supposed to(allergies); and no adult sees it and stops it. Would NOT recommend this school, it is terrible; do not waste your time and money. If you want a calm and safe, nice learning environment for your kid(s); then this school is NOT for you. I am warning you.
