    I only went here from November to June, but i'd say it's a mostly good school. Librarian was kind,…read moreshe would read us books. Nice and big library and playground/field too. Plus teachers were kind and respectful. Math/science teacher was funny and would never hesitate to help me with tests and work, language arts/history teacher challenged us and was funny. Good education. Kids were mostly great too, didn't get bullied once. I guess the only bad things I could say about this school was that at certain times the staff would be a little rude, and we would have to run the mile every Wednesday. Nurse wouldn't let me go home when I went to the nurse because of my bad knee and I could barely walk. Bathrooms were a bit dirty and at times there was no soap... but that was the kindergarten bathroom, haha. Other than that, can't think of anything else that would upset me. Oh yeah, and we got 30 extra minutes of playtime before school ended. Never got too much or too less work. Promotion was fun and organized too. They gave us a little care package for middle school. Good school.

    I have 2 students in Bonsall Elementary, and each one has a totally positive experience.

    I read the information on the Stepping Stones website, and it looks incredibly encouraging! I'm…read morehoping by the time my youngest son is ready to exit 8th grade, his current Charter School will have a high school option, but if not, it is great to know places like this exist in the local community. They also collaborate with a large number of nationally accredited charter schools across the state. The varied options I mentioned earlier include homeschooling, independent study, and blended learning opportunities - I am so happy to see schools joining this model of education...it's really proving to be the best way to educate children for successful futures instead of churning them out like a grim scene from The Wall... In their own words: "Our focus is personalized education for each student. The best way to change tomorrow is to invest in our children today... One Step at a Time." Yes. More of this, please!!! One thing that particularly stands out is that they are community-centered learning institutions. This has a twofold effect - they promote success in academics by nurturing a connection with the community (usually through volunteerism or other efforts), and they also partner their students with successful to make sure they achieve the steps necessary to succeed from the time they start Kindergarten until the time they choose a career. That's smart educating! Through their network of partner schools, they can tailor a student's education to help keep them engaged, participating, and give them the tools they're going to need for future success in college, university, or trade/vocational school programs (again, education works different for everyone, and it looks like these people understand that!!!) Their website uses the word "investment" regarding their students, and I can't day how much I love that...I wish more schools treated education like an investment in our children and the future of not only the individual, but the community and society as a whole. They teach children to be self-paced and directed; and also foster a sense of independent thinking and those who can not only use critical thinking to solve problems, but also communicate in whichever way is best suited to their own personality and style. Since I know many people who communicate through electronic devices, I like to hear the emphasis placed on communication and not "speaking." There is a big difference. These folks seem like they "get it!" Their main goal appears to be simple: to help students of all ages and stages to "learn how to learn." I love that phrase! They know that many students don't have a place in our rather drab and outdated school model, with endless tests and redundant, utterly uninteresting and non-dynamic curriculum. In addition to general school/high school academics, these students also apparently get to discover their own potential career path; and this could include technical courses, visual/performing arts, apprenticeships (similar programs currently exist in some European countries) and service learning projects - I've done Service Learning Projects in my own college; and they're enhancements to the curriculum you're already learning, it's really great foundation building work! This was one of the things that stuck out at me while I was reading about their program... apparently, Stepping Stones also offers two years of college at no cost for those who qualify. This could just be help filing out the FASFA FOR Federal Student Aid (which not everyone will qualify for, depending on how much their parents make), but could potentially also include help finding grants, scholarships, and alternative ways to fund tertiary education beyond high school. :) My son's current charter school has been a godsend, but now that we've been able to dodge the proverbial "bullet" that was a nightmarish middle school experience (it only lasted a month, thankfully!), and he's now fully included in his school. There are no segregated classes for special education, but he receives as much support as he needs (including a dedicated aide that the school hand picked for him and hired after he enrolled), so I cannot sing the praises of charter schools enough. His behavior is better, self-confidence has skyrocketed, and he is now taking initiative to work both on classwork and chores at home! But he's in 6th Grade now, and the school he's at currently only goes to 8th. I'm hoping they'll add an option for high school in the next few years, but if not...I am very pleased to know there are alternatives that match our current setup available within close proximity. I have friends that need this type of opportunity for their own children, so I'm passing this on to them too. If only I'd known what was out there when my 21 year old was being pushed through the school system..."No Child Left Behind" just means they're going to end up with many adults that are left without...because they never caught up...

    Ahhh love this school! This review is about my pbserbas on how nice this place is. Established in…read more1963 I totally got the 1960s vibe when I visited. I have had the opportunity to go a couple of times to do interpreting assignments and everything has been smooth, from the check-in time to the end. I felt at home and treated very nicely. One thing that I liked a lot is the name of the 'streets', so cute! The herbs garden is adorable and the whole school exudes care. I can't wait to be called back!

Also when my son was attending this school his teachers were so disrespectful in understanding his especial needs since he has ADHD none of the teacher are capable or had any especial training on working with kids of especial needs . I was surprise to find out they don't have any special needs classes since they are always asking for money for everything whenever they have a chance. There is zero support for the parents unless you are white rich parent, Because I noticed the difference on treatment when my husband picks up our days since he is caucasian and I'm a Latino mom, I don't put out either their nonsense ideas and speak out my mind. All this school cares is about looking good and being first places.. looks more a competition than actually caring for our children's needs. Thank god my daughter is starting in a new school with more diversity .

    What a great school! I wish I have attended this kind of school when I was a kid! Focused on drama,…read moreart, music...such a beautiful campus with roses and art everywhere. I loved my experience as interpreter there. Everyone so welcoming and happy! I learned today what is a 'magnet school' where they teach this type of curriculum and also you get to attend if the family wins the school lotto (so families are not attached to the zip code they live in).

    This used to be a five star school but they have added hundreds more students without adding enough…read moreto the budget to accommodate them, which has resulted in deprioritizing the arts. The school culture has suffered. The kids still get more art here than at most public schools, but it's around the same amount of arts one should expect at a well funded public school (which are sadly few and far between these days) and the arts rotate rather than having every art every week. Still a great school, and they have continued to prioritize the IB Program, so their curriculum is rock solid. The teachers are excellent and the admin is accessible, the campus is spacious and cheerful, and everyone is doing their best. I hope the district realizes that funding the arts is an important priority, for myriad reasons. Every kid needs to have fluency and experience with the arts, just as they do with math and reading; I wish our education funding reflected that. Bottom line, still a great school; I'm still happy to be a part of it - it's not perfect, but it's still the best school in town for sure, and a unique and excellent mix of the arts and IB.
