I toured this school with thinking I was going to enroll my son here. I attended a lot of events at…read morethis school growing up since my cousins went to school here and this was my home church. Unfortunately, I am extremely disappointed to say that the experience I had wasn't that great. First, when I met with the principal she let me know there was a "waiting list" then later speaking with the secretary she said there was no one on the wait list they just say that. During our visit my son was taken back to a room for an assessment where I wasn't present. I sat in the office area. During the assessment, the teacher asked my son questions like "do you get in trouble at school" and "do you talk a lot in class" and things around his behavior. When prior, during the tour, I was asking the principal questions around safety and what that looked like. I even shared certain challenges like talking in class. The following day, the principal called me to let me know that my son could do a "trial" with the school and see how he does in a month. This, I've never heard of and how is that even possible! It sounded like they were being selective and wanted to see how he would behave before fully accepting him into the school. Just by this, I decided this school wasn't the best fit for him. This school lacks diversity, acceptance of all people and judge. The 2 stars are for adding a park that the school didn't have, kudos for the secretaries kindness and her transparency that the principal hid. My son is thriving at his current school and an A/B student.

After a lot of research into private schools in Solano County 7 years ago, we landed on this one,…read moreand haven't looked back. Our kids actually get sad when they have to miss school for whatever reason. They love their teachers, and the teachers clearly care about their students. They could be teaching for teachers' unions in public schools, earning more money, but they choose our school because they care intensely about our kids and our families holistically: Intellectually, emotionally, physically, spiritually. I've trusted all my many kids with many normal kid-play injuries over MANY years to the wonderful women in the office, both the office manager and office assistant. They call me right away, disclose all the details of the injury, tell me how they treated them (with a lot of medical experience, I assure you they do everything I would have EVERY time), offer to talk to my child and of course allow me to pick them up if I ever deem it necessary. The teachers and administration answer every email and Class Dojo message I've ever sent, no matter how small the topic, within a very short time. Whenever I've approached the principal with a question or concern, she welcomes it with humility and openness, and actually makes changes worth making (this is notably not the case with many school principals). She surrounds herself with committees to make sure she's not missing anything. Between our excellent principal, our wonderful office manager, and our warm office assistant, the ambience in the office is pleasant and welcoming. As a parent, I don't want to leave when I stop in! The school community has really wonderful families we've befriended over the years or worked with on school volunteer opportunities. But for us, the most important aspect is the faith aspect. Our kids get to learn about the Catholic Faith through a beautiful and formational religion program; and they get to see it reflected in the faculty and administration in various ways, through their unique gifts, virtues, and sacrifices. My own faith has been enriched just through getting to know them and seeing their own, personal love of God.

The staff is very dedicated and helpful and the communication between the school to the community is constant and consistent. Wardlaw has a systematic team approach to student interventions that made a tremendous impact on children's achievement. My family is truly blessed to be a part of the Wardlaw for the past few years and they have laid the foundation for my children's success with their education.

The school did nothing to support my child and neglected to implement his IEP appropriately. Instead of supporting him in accordance with his IEP they would keep him from his recess to watch old seventies cartoons and even had my third grader in a preschool reading group despite the fact he has been reading since he was two. The incompetent administration even attempted to have us increase his medication rather then address the extreme bullying he was victim to. I had to attend school with my child to protect him for three weeks until we were able to get him into another school. The first day I attended I found my child getting beaten up while another child threw food at his face. There was not an adult in sight! I found the children unsupervised at lunch and recess until I complained. His teacher literally stood in the middle of the class and yelled, "I need help!" She had zero control of the class. She spent all her time with the five third graders who were unable to read while the other children threw paper airplanes. Do not send your child to this school.
