Capistrano Elementary School

The school is lacking leadership staff in the principal and the counselor. The top 3 staff have been in new positions for one year now and it leaves much to be desired. It was different before this school year(2015-2016). The school principal is not seen anywhere in the school, only in the office.

I was student for 3 years in this school. The curriculum is lacking, we had the same professors (sometimes even 3 times per day) for the completely different subjects and they obviously had no idea what they were teaching. Worst of all is the preference to certain students, if you are not in that "in" list you would get help for anything (I got not help at all when applying to college, I had to do everything on my own even send my grades), they would let their favorite students get away with everything. Do not recommend.

Why is it that students are either perfect at this school, or the problem at this school? When a teacher berates a student in front of others, does this not harm our children. What does it teach those that witness such behavior? When is it acceptable to harm others with our words? Should not an adult know better than to chastise out young, to humiliate them in public? Start by making teachers more accountable. Patience is a virtue after all. Students need to be nurtured, all students, not just those with ties to faculty and staff. How can you have favoritism in a private Christian school setting be an allowed practice, if we are all the same in the eyes of our Lord? Don't put the blame all on the students, when the teachers don't know how to interact properly with students. If a child falls short, is ostracizing a child truly the way Jesus would handle a similar situation? And if in your teachings, one way does not work with some, find out the way that does. Recognize that our children are to be learning in school, yes! Yet, recognize that your parents have also asked this school to treat their children with the dignity and respect all Christians deserve.
