If I could truly paint a picture of how absolutely fulfilling it feels as a parent to know that all your research you've done to give your kid the best education then you found the place. When I first heard about this school I like any other parent researched it like no other and of course looked on many websites to see what rating they had. My daughters school prior to Scholarship Prep was a combo kindergarten and first grade class. About 40 students it was horrible. At the time scholarship prep was a lottery school where you had to apply and then wait to see if your child got picked I thamk God many many times for my daughter being able to get chosen in the lottery for the following school year which would be first grade. When my daughter started first grade it was such a different experience!!! Classrooms were a lot smaller the perfect student to teacher ratio. The first day of school is such an experience and really cute how they make all the children feel incredibly special by having these decorations out in the front to take photos.. Whether it be balloons or music teachers are to welcome students being able to take pictures in the front, obviously that's a plus for us parents because we all want to have a picture of our child's first day of school and the perfect backdrop provided by the school. All the staff the teachers especially Miss Allotey always having this good energy that is contagious and her smile making you smile. It was just a completely different experience from her previous School. I honestly feel immensely grateful to have done my research and picked a school I thought was a really good school and from previous students that had attended there their parents talking about how much of a good school it was and wishing that they kept their kids at that school. I love how every teacher my daughter has had, both of my daughters, they communicate very well and let me know if maybe my kid is having a little bit of a hard time getting something done or notice something might be going on they come to me and ask me if things are ok. The reason I mention this is because there was a time where our lives were not going as planned. Something a child shouldn't have to go through but unfortunately we did. And it was just situation after situation and the teacher came to me didn't go and start assuming things and create something more than what actually meant the world to me because that's how I knew these teachers and the staff there actually truly cared and asked if we were okay and I never knew that there was programs that help people in our situation. They don't know how truly grateful I am for Mr Victor and Mrs. Crowe. To truly lend an ear and without judgment listen and offer any available services that they had and they just truly do not know how much of a backbone they created for me and my family because I've been a single mom living paycheck to paycheck and when things came to a complete halt, I am beyond grateful that no matter what was going on at home my kids were never made to feel some type of way and they helped me assure my kids attended school everyday on time very prepared and dressed in their clean uniforms. To some that might seem like that's nothing but to many others in my situation that means the world that there is people that care and are making these things possible for a family. I didn't know that a school could possibly even offer any of the services that were given to me but to know that this school does not only that is what makes this school amazing is just the education as well it's the unbelievable. They celebrate your child success like none I have ever witnessed before. If I were to have been able to save every award every recognition every milestone basically I truly believe that they could have filled up a closet worth of every achievement they've had and starting all over to be able to have corner of our apartment full of their pictures and all of their awards and their medals is very fulfilling for a parent especially if it was for just 2 years to know that my kids are getting and continue to receive. With one still enrolled and attending this school and my oldest going into High School now taking what she's learned to The Orange County School Of Arts and continue to succeed. In all seriousness you want your child to be set up for success? Scholarship Prep Charter School will get them there!

Calvary is deeply rooted in Christian values, and you truly see those values lived out daily through the way teachers care for students and how the community supports one another. One of the things we love most is the strong sense of community. Families are welcoming, and there are many opportunities for parent involvement, which makes you feel connected to your child's education. We strongly believe parent involvement plays a huge role in shaping our children's future. The school also offers many field trips and hands-on learning experiences that keep students excited and engaged. The teachers are experienced, caring, and genuinely invested in each child's growth--academically, spiritually, and socially. With over 50 years of history, the school has a strong foundation and clear mission. We also appreciate the diverse student body and the emphasis on mission opportunities. Academically, we love the focus on spelling bees, speech meets, and foreign language instruction starting in first grade. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

Why Fitz Intermediate Deserves a Closer Look: A Critical Perspective…read more When evaluating middle schools across California, academic performance, student support, and overall environment are key indicators of quality. Unfortunately, Stephen R. Fitz Intermediate School in Santa Ana consistently ranks in the bottom tier of these metrics, raising serious concerns about its effectiveness in preparing students for future success. Academic Underperformance Fitz Intermediate ranks in the bottom 50% of all California schools for both math and reading proficiency. Only 25% of students meet math standards, compared to the state average of 33%, and just 44% are proficient in reading, below the state average of 47% A B. These scores suggest systemic issues in curriculum delivery, student engagement, or instructional quality. ‍ Overburdened Classrooms The student-teacher ratio at Fitz is 23:1, higher than the California average of 21:1 A B. While this may seem minor, it can significantly impact individualized attention, especially in a school where many students may need additional academic support. Larger class sizes often correlate with lower student performance and reduced teacher effectiveness. Declining Enrollment and Limited Diversity Enrollment has dropped by 18% over five years A, which may reflect dissatisfaction among families or broader demographic shifts. Additionally, the school's diversity score is 0.23--far below the state average of 0.63 A. While the student body is predominantly Hispanic (over 84%), the lack of broader cultural representation may limit exposure to diverse perspectives and experiences. Socioeconomic Challenges Over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch B, placing Fitz among the top 10% of California schools with the highest poverty rates. While this isn't inherently negative, it underscores the need for robust support systems--academic, emotional, and nutritional--that may be lacking or underfunded. Reputation and Rankings Despite some positive reviews from parents and students, Fitz ranks #930 out of 2,803 public middle schools in California on Niche, and only #523 for teacher quality B. These rankings suggest that while some staff may be dedicated, the school as a whole struggles to compete with higher-performing institutions. --- Conclusion Labeling Fitz Intermediate as "the worst" may be dramatic, but the data paints a troubling picture. Low academic achievement, high poverty rates, and declining enrollment signal a school in need of urgent reform. Rather than ignoring these issues, stakeholders should view them as a call to action--because every student deserves a school that helps them thrive, not just survive.

He is reading, speaking, and writing well above his grade level in both languages. I appreciate the community and the outpouring support from all the parents. It is definitely a wonderful experience to have such close relationships with other parents not to mention the amount of parents who volunteer for just about every activity and/or fundraiser. The food is incredible. The on site chef prepares fresh and health conscious meals daily. There is allergy awareness which is a plus++ Parents can also enjoy and bond with their child over breakfast. The monthly lunch menu is available so that parents and student can chose which meals they will partake in well in advance. The parking can be difficult due to the location, however, OCEAA has implemented a valet line which makes it easy to safely drop off your child without having to deal with parking. Which brings me to the after school program, KEDS. The director and staff of KEDS are all amazing, well trained, and knowledgeable in child development. KEDS is truly an extension of the school. They have many enriching activities offered during after school such as robotics, chess, piano, martial arts, etc., in addition to children receiving structure and support in finishing up homework. Children can also Participate in clubs such as gardening club, math club, and this year, Speech and Debate club. OCEAA is excellent in helping students develop leadership skills so much so, that even though This is OCEAA's first year participating in Speech and Debate competitions, several OCEAA students have placed top 3 during tournaments and OCEAA as a whole has placed 2nd and 1st place. Overall, I am 100% glad I chose OCEAA for my family. My son has grown academically, socially, and emotionally into a thriving 10-year-old.
