Eric Dahlstrom Middle School

3 of my kids have attended and/or attend this school. The teachers and principal are AMAZING! You could not ask for a more approachable principal or more caring and involved teachers. Parents are welcome and wanted! You would be surprised how small and family oriented it feels, even though it has grown to be a big school, it feels very small. They truly care about ALL kids, those who are struggling and those who are academically gifted. LOVE this school!

We removed our kid from this school for so many reasons. Teachers there care more about when does the school day end versus wanting to teach kids. There is no academic help for kids when they are struggling. The teachers do not work well with the parents at all. Do not bring your child to this school.

What I love about Santa Cruz is how admin, teachers, and pastors work together to give every student the best educational experience in the area. We chose Catholic school for our children because our faith is something that was important to us but being there this last year and seeing what their academic plans to challenge students makes us really happy with our decision. This is a school that honors all types of learners and has teachers who love to teach, admin that wants what’s best for the school, and a pastor who supports the students and teachers every step of the way. If you want a school that will prepare your child for high school and real life experience please consider Santa Cruz. We couldn’t be happier
