Even the principal has stated that she is powerless to implement any changes. Kids are correcting mistakes made by the teachers. The teachers give take home test (are you kidding me?) if homework is assigned then follow the normal process and state it in google classroom. They are kids and most probably will not remember what you told them verbally throughout the day. Detention is assigned for no reason. Due to a computer glitch, the teacher didn't get some of the kids homework that they have already completed.Guess what, detention. Future parents, please be cognizant of your kids time in this school and trust me take them to another school. You and your child will be much happier oh btw don't think for a second that you can speak out about the treatment your child is getting. Your kid will be punished (I promise) A few of these damn upper grade teachers are the worst.....Remember who pays your salary.

This school really likes to focus on "community". Which it is - from our PTA, parents, teachers, staff, and students this school is all about empowering all to know they can make a difference. With all schools - it takes a village - each and every one of us doing our part. I can't send my kids to school and expect them to learn everything they need to know if I am not willing to put in the work at home, enforce respect to self and others, and teach them standard kindness, responsibility and accountability. The more we put into our young community the more kids can grow and flourish. I pray all schools and students around to have a fun and safe school year as we, the families & community, back up our public schools with our help and support where possible.

Fletcher's been a great school since Mrs. Cardenas took over as principal in 2023-2024. For one, in…read morea matter of months during her rookie year, Mrs. Cardenas swiftly and soundly solved all the staffing problems that had affected Fletcher for 3+ years. Also, you can tell that Mrs. Cardenas really cares about the kids. From empathizing with a first grader over chipped nail polish to agreeing to kiss a live pig to motivate the student body, she exemplifies relatable warmth. I genuinely like the teachers that have taught my daughter so far. Her kindergarten teacher is a miracle worker. In her soft-spoken way, she can calm the rowdiest room of 5- and 6-year-olds and teach them good socio-emotional skills. She devotes so much attention to helping EACH child, from researching resources for the parents to use to notifying parents about little things that affect children's social dynamics. Her observation skills are off the charts! Further, she individualizes education to children's skill levels. She had some kids learning first-grade material and writing 5+ sentence paragraphs all while in kindergarten. Her compassion, dedication, and insight will forever make a HUGE difference in our family. The first-grade teachers are similarly awesome. They exude friendly fun and nurturing sweetness. And they care so much about their students and are soooo patient with them! My daughter's teacher has even responded to my texts at 10:00 pm and over the weekend to answer my questions! They go above and beyond to make each child feel seen, heard, and oh so special, and they create a safe, enriching spot for each child to grow. One of the most veteran, knowledgeable, and caring teachers at Fletcher is a first-grade teacher there, and her classroom is consistently quiet with all kids on task. When was the last time you heard of a first-grade classroom like that?! First grade also individualizes learning as well, and they cut the fluff that comes with certain elementary school instruction. One of the first-grade teachers won Teacher of the Year this year, and the kids responded with an uproarious cheer and could not stop chanting her name. And my 4-year-old is in love with another first-grade teacher because she really took the time to interact with him when he visited the classroom for Open House. Hence, I love the academic and social environment in first grade! Lastly, I have to give a shoutout to the amazing PTSA that Fletcher has had since we've been here. They have sooo many great programs for ALL the students and enthusiastically try to get as many students involved as possible. Elaborate trunk-or-treats, dazzling carnivals, animal presentations, assemblies, reindeer runs, Reflections, various holiday celebrations, and art/music/science classes...you name it! There are also fabulous after-school clubs and extracurriculars at Fletcher including running club, esports, math and reading clubs, homework help, Mandarin competition clubs, etc. However, what I believe really separates this PTSA from many others is their willingness to listen to parents and students and make their visions a reality. For instance, one parent wanted to have a talent show, and some other parents wanted a field day. PTSA listened, snapped its fingers and funded the events, and these events all happened for the first time at Fletcher in a long time. Similarly, another parent wanted to help expose 1st to 6th graders to the higher-level problem-solving and test-taking skills that comes with math competitions. Mrs. Cardenas and PTSA, and some dedicated fifth-grade teachers, found ways to make this happen. I was so impressed! When we told our parent friends from the Placenta-Yorba Linda School District about all the offerings at Fletcher, they said, "Whoooaa! You would only get that at fancy private schools!!" All in all, Fletcher's a fabulous school. And because of Mrs. Cardenas and PTSA, you can also think of it as a school where your voice matters, a school that WILL take your ideas for change and implement them. I encourage parents who care, who want to make a difference in their child's educational environment, to send their kids to Fletcher. The Mandarin education is top-notch, but there is no difference between how the school treats its MIP students and its students who aren't in the Mandarin program (i.e., don't feel that your kids HAVE TO be in the Mandarin program if they're at Fletcher). All benefit from the unique educational opportunities that Fletcher offers, and I'm so grateful for it.

What initially sold my husband and I was how small the class sizes are. My boys classes have 9-10 children in each class room. They receive so individualized attention from their teachers, I can tell they feel secure to express themselves and actively participate in all classroom activities. Another aspect that my family really enjoyed was the many opportunities to participate in our children's education. Being included in their education was so valuable for me as a mom and really helped me get through our first year in school. Additionally the entire staff at the school were the most lovely group of people! No matter who we spoke to or even passed by in the hallway we were always greeted with warm smiles and willingness to assist in any way we needed. My family is very much looking forward to seeing our boys nut just grow, but flourish at La Purisima!

One of the things we love most is the small class sizes and the individual attention each child receives. The teachers and aides are incredibly caring and patient, and it's clear they truly love what they do. It means so much knowing our child is in an environment where he is known, supported, and encouraged. There is also such a special sense of community here. You see teachers and students from different grades interacting and knowing each other, which makes the school feel very close-knit and welcoming. Choosing a school for your child is a big decision, and we feel really grateful to have found La Purisima. It's been a very positive experience for our family and we highly recommend it.
