I saw a vast difference in my child once he started at soar - he became a much more outgoing child and his grades skyrocketed. My youngest has been at soar since kindergarten and is now in 8th grade, his grades are awesome and he never wants to miss school (he's really hoping for perfect attendance this year). I have referred friends, coworkers and family to soar. My co-worker moved her daughter to soar for her 7th grade year this year and said that she has also seen such a dramatic difference in her daughter's grades as well as her attitude. I 100% recommend SOAR if you're looking for a place for your child to thrive!

San Bernardino City school district has good people but unfortunately there's more bad apples than…read moregood ones. I contacted the supervisor, the superintendent, and school board. Regarding a school security guard putting his hands on a teenage girl. He manhandled her leaving red marks from handcuffing her and buried her arms from manhandling her. The person's i contacted seemed concerned but unfortunately just kept saying file a school police report. Which i had already done. The school police work with these security guards and are bias. They said they'd do an intensive investigation but they didn't. They just brushed it under the rug and said he was justified to use force on a small teenage girl. Im absolutely appalled by their actions. Poor girl has to have this as an experience at school where she supposed to feel safe. She's actually a good student and I feel awful that this type of incident happened. Unfortunately I was told by more students that this isn't the 1st time these guards have done this! Shame on SBSD for not following through and getting rid of these horrible security guards but then they would have to admit they were in the wrong and that never happens.

My Child Is Being Bullied -- And No One Is Helping…read more Every day, my child goes to Hillside Elementary knowing she is going to be Bullied. Hurt and ignored. Wondering why no one is protecting her.. I've reported it. Multiple times. To Teachers. Counselors. Administrators. Nothing changes. The bully faces zero consequences. My child is left feeling alone and unsafe in a place that should be safe. No child should have to fear school. No child should suffer while the school fails to act. My daughter ask me why dose the school not do anything. I'm speaking up because my child deserves safety. Every child deserves accountability. If you've been through this at Hillside please speak up. No child should face this alone. #StopBullying #ProtectOurKids #EveryChildMatters

She is unprofessional and even threatened to call the police on me. She kept on saying " I keep getting into it with you" when it was only 1 encounter before and that was last school year. The most recent encounter was me leaving my car unattended because every time they say my kids names on the walkie talkie. My kids are never in the car and everyone else's kids are. Just on FRIDAY she was mad I was behind a dodge charger who was parked where it's blocking traffic and I was behind them. I was driving to a parking spot but I was blocked from all angles by vehicles clearly blocking traffic. So I waited so long then seen my kids both look at me and I walked in the middle of the parking lot to have my kids run to me while the principal minerva tries to tell me I can't park right there and my kids are literally coming off the side walk I proceed to grab my children. Mind you she didn't even talk to the cars who were blocking traffic or even the dodge charger who was blocking me. She threatened how she can make it to where I can't come on campus and I knew I had a case. Today I recorded how a car was blocking the drive thru lane while they were waiting for their kid they have the footage of that. Sad part is she didn't say anything. So discrimination is real and I'm glad she is leaving she is the worst & super unprofessional and I have another parent who also stated she felt the same way I felt. TEACHERS ARE AMAZING.

The kids kept asking him to play. Even the kids that were 2 and 3 years older. Even now the older kids always say good bye to him when we leave. They accommodate our schedule and have even had a couple of his speech therapy sessions there when conflicting schedules made it impossible to do at home. It is affordable and an amazing environment for him to learn and grow.
