Rich parents pay for their students to get A's regardless of skill set. Teacher turnover is high. There is a lot of inexperience at this school. Learning level is low unless you get one of the "good" teachers.
Posted by a parent on 8/11/2025Laguna Blanca sets the bar in Santa Barbara. The teachers are engaged. The kids are kind, in a way I’ve never seen. The academics are top notch. Special highlights: The array of interesting and unique electives. Class trips. Student-led TedX program. Down sides: It’s crazy expensive.
Posted by a parent on 9/21/2023I graduated from Laguna in '79.I'm sadden to see such reviews. That was not at all my experience. It was such a great teaching, concerned and involved. Not to mention the spring trips which broaden my horizons. I hope at will regain the prestige it had.
Posted by a parent on 5/29/2023My kid has been going to the lower campus for a while. I thought he will get a great education and I thought the kids are going to be well behaved.

Posted by a parent on 6/3/2021It is one of the worst places I have ever been to. Do your kid a favor and save all the money for college.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a teacher and parent of three children who attended Vieja Valley K-6, I can confidently say that it is a school that you would ABSOLUTELY want your children to learn and grow in through their elementary school years. The staff loves each other as family and that permeates through to the love they have for families that attend. The school is fairly diverse and that diversity is a strength of the school. My kids felt safe and I feel valued as a staff member and stakeholder.Teacher Review6y ago - Hope Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe thriving neighborhood school is still alive and well at Hope. My daughter will graduate this year after 7 incredible years walking to a school with experienced and dedicated teachers, small classes, Halloween parades, culture days, field trips, incredible specialists for art, music, pe, stem, and library, and an overwhelmingly positive environment overall. We will really, really miss Hope!Parent Review3y ago - Santa Barbara County Community School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son has been going to Adams for 5 years now. We have had the best experience at this school. Mrs. Fresch is a great principal and we have had phenomenal teachers throughout the years. I stay involved with the school. PTA volunteers are hardworking individuals and make the students experience even better.Parent Review2y ago - Santa Barbara Community Academy
