This school is supposed to be the best high school in Chula Vista in terms of academic performance…read more It may be, but not due to the counseling department for sure. I have emailed my kiddo's counselor with a question. No response! They do the bare minimum for their job. The counselors are terrible at this school! Support at this school definitely doesn't rival those at north county schools. There are some great teachers here where you can see their passion for teaching. They tend to be AP teachers, of course. The math teachers don't really stand out. I'm not going to name names but there is a math teacher that didn't respond to any emails from parents who had emailed them with concerns. One student reported this math teacher was helping them with a math problem while simultaneously playing Pokémon Go. This was after school, though. Maybe the teacher was THAT good, doing two things at the same time but students need respect, not just teachers. The 504 process was great though, I liked the fact that most teachers show up for the 504 meetings. Thanks, caring teachers, for your support of kids with disabilities. They just spent a lot of $ sprucing up the campus and it is looking pretty nice!

Definitely worth checking out this school if your looking for a school for your child.

Our kids went to school here for years. We finally withdrew them when the teachers were pushing…read moretheir liberal propaganda onto our kids. We were able to overhear the teacher because the kids were on distance learning. She was telling the kids that republicans are bad and providing blatant liberal propaganda videos to our kids. We feel that the teachers should be teaching math, science, English, etc. In fact, you should not even be able to tell which political party the teachers are. This school is a factory for creating liberals. They are grooming children to be liberals, and they punish you if you are not. If you are independent or conservative, please do not send your kids to this school. These are the formative years, and they have the ability to hijack these young minds. Many of our friends have moved their kids out of Salt Creek into private schools, home schooling, or out of state schools. It's just sad what this school has become.

There is a dual-immersion program so that students are taught in Spanish and English. Our family has built many friendships with the teachers, faculty, and other parents.

Overall, it's a great school in a community that cares about the children and their families.

It is a very great school, and I enjoyed being in Otay Ranch very much. And the experience was niceread more

We spent three years at Otay Ranch Academy for the Arts, and the warning signs were there from year…read moreone. During our first year, a teacher walked my daughter to the car to report she had pushed another child off the bleachers. When I asked my daughter what happened, she explained she acted first because the other child was about to push her off. The teacher's expectation that a child in that moment should call a "time out" and run and tell him instead of defending herself showed a fundamental lack of common sense. The principal repeatedly failed to protect my daughter from serious harassment. When two older boys bullied her, the administration did nothing despite multiple reports until the situation became physical on the playground and I was forced to send the police to intervene--an inaction that violated the state's anti-bullying mandates and demonstrated deliberate indifference. My daughter was not the only victim of these students, yet the school protected the aggressors instead of the victims. The final straw was the Title IX violation involving the girls' bathroom. The school's policy allowed a biological male student to use the girls' restroom, compromising my daughter's privacy and safety. When my daughter simply asked what he was doing there--a completely reasonable question--she was removed from class and dragged into the vice principal's office. Rather than correcting the policy to protect female students, the principal chose to shield staff and the school's legal liability, and the retaliation only intensified after I filed complaints. The school offered a bathroom some distance away as an "accommodation," which was completely impractical being located too far from her classroom. We ultimately filed a federal Title IX complaint with the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (case #09253077) due to the school's deliberate indifference. Beyond these safety failures, the school suffers from poor leadership and resource management. Despite a large park directly behind the school, our children were confined to an asphalt playground nearly all year and were allowed to touch the grass exactly once--on the second to last day of school. The neighboring school uses that park regularly. Even the sixth-grade graduation was held outside on the asphalt instead of in the building's auditorium. This is the same school that was featured on Fox 5 San Diego for placing children in tents during extreme heat because of space mismanagement. The only reason this school remains open is a handful of truly excellent, caring teachers. But good educators cannot compensate for an administration that endangers children's safety, retaliates against families who advocate for their kids, and prioritizes liability over student welfare. We have pulled our children out of ORAA, and I strongly caution other parents to look elsewhere until there is a complete overhaul of leadership.
