Ladera Stars Academy

I am a student at the school. It's my favorite school ever. Recommend this school 5 stars

As a former student who attended SPBS for nine years I would not recommend this school to anyone. At my time at SPBS, I received a subpar education especially in Math and Science. The school has not updated their curriculum in YEARS which causes its students to fall behind when they enter high school. You're better off sending your child to a public school and saving all that money and time as the school requires mandatory parental volunteering. Another issue that this school has is a severe lack of diversity and tolerance towards other cultures. The bullying and exclusion culture is quite prevalent and the faculty does little to nothing to prevent it from happening. I faced quite a lot of bullying especially in middle school at SPBS and it left me with self-esteem and confidence issues well after my time at St. Paschals. They are a so called "Catholic school" with the teachers often ignoring the tennents of Christianity. This school also has a toxic parent culture with teachers preferring kids whose parents are on PTSA or in the parish's Men's club. The Parish pastor and principal refuse to acknowledge the bullying issue in their school and often side with the offenders. I wouldn't wish any other child to face what I faced there.

Recently, graduated from the school and all I gotta say is what a terrible school. The principal Katherine Smith, terrible, worst principal you can ask for. She will say and do whatever for her own personal gain. DONT TRUST HER. Now, the Murphys are just as bad if not worse. If your currently In just pull your kids out or if your planning on attending don't.

An amazing place, a true community of kindness. We transitioned from the public school to St Patrick's and have been thrilled for both the academic rigor, as well as the culture and spiritual and social mentoring of our child.

My boys were students at Bridges from the very beginning of its foundation. My review is based on that experience.However, I can speak of the hard work that special people like Ms. Cindy do to make this school a safe haven for young minds to expand their growth, academically and socially; explore their talents and cultivate a sense of belonging while at the same time contributing to a larger community.Teachers, staff, parents, and students would work together and truly build community within the school as well as out.A community where, even after years of not attending Bridges, we feel are still a part of, thus the reason for me sharing now. Here, students would get the tools to construct their knowledge with the Guidance of a supportive team. Bridges goes beyond academics and it also creates opportunities for students to develop personally and socially. Years later my boys still remember fondly their Bridges experience and treasure the memories and the friends they made here.
