Mandarin High School

Great teachers who are and supporting staff.

Mandarin Oaks Elementary has truly redefined what it means to be a school community dedicated to the holistic success of every student. We transitioned to Mandarin Oaks in the final quarter of the academic year after years of false promises from a nearby charter school, and in hindsight, I only wish we had made this move much sooner.From the very first interaction, Principal Ms. Butterfield demonstrated an exceptional level of leadership and vision. She personally welcomed us to the school, provided an informative tour of the campus, and thoroughly outlined the robust support services available to ensure every student thrives. Her approach was marked by both warmth and strategic insight—qualities that set the tone for the entire school culture.Every member of the staff consistently exemplifies the highest standards of professionalism and dedication. Teachers and support staff alike go above and beyond to ensure that each child is seen, heard, and valued for who they are—not just what’s on paper. Their proactive communication, unwavering support, and genuine care for student growth have been a breath of fresh air.Mandarin Oaks truly exemplifies what an exceptional elementary school should be: a nurturing, engaging, and deeply student-centered environment. I highly recommend this school to any family seeking an environment that combines academic excellence with genuine care and support. I can say with complete confidence that Mandarin Oaks is a place where every child is championed, and I only wish we had made the transition sooner.

Unless you have money to constantly donate to the school your kids will be treated like crap. We are a low income family that struggles and my kids get blamed for EVERYTHING without ANY proof and anytime I report bullying nothing ever gets done and I never hear back there is a Tik Tok video of my daughter sobbing and being bullied on the bus the kid uploaded and nothing got done my daughter was told horrible sexual things by students nothing ever got done I heard nothing. If you have money your kids are secure if your struggling like us they'll make your kids the scapegoat for everything

The teachers my children have had have all been great. The administration staff is horrible. They have little to no communication and the only value they seem to follow is say one thing and do another. They are hypocritical and condescending. I wouldn't want them teaching my kids anything about religion because they don't seem to live their faith, especially the new principal, she's the worst. They must have had no other applicants for the job. This school used to be great but now it's a big old dumpster fire. We're moving to San Jose at the end of the school year and can't wait.

Kacy Harvey & her team are truly amazing & it’s an honor to have my daughter attend. The teachers care so much about their students & go the extra mile.
