2/28/2026 I attended this school when it first opened in the neighborhood. And Ive had various…read moresibling later attend it throughout the years as well. I still currently have a sister who goes here but shes due to graduate next year to middle school. Let me start off by saying I don't care how close this school might be by your home. DONT. This school will ruin your child. This school does not care about your child. Their physical or mental health. They don't care. They will let your kid be bullied and not do anything about it but as soon as you bring in the police all of a sudden the principal wants to talk to you to de escalate, that they'll "speak the kids parents" but they never do. They dont report kids to cps who obviously have a horrible home lives. They dont offer therapy (unless you push) to kids who are obviously struggling. And dont let me get started on all the sexual abuse that happens in this school. Little boys groping and grabbing on the little girls. Smacking their butts and trying to do sexual advances. Its horrible how children are behaving like adults. Theres also so many kids who vape at this school and smoke marijauna but they rather take away the kids bags of chips? What is it with that? Youll take away a kids bag of chips or candy but you wont talk and hold kids responsible who bully other kids? The whole school is a joke. The "new" principal (Michelle Morris) is a joke of a principal. Since shes taken over the school has gone downhill. To be honest, I didnt even know she was the principal because shes not present as one. The shame you should feel for having failed thousands of children and continue to do so. I hope this school has restructuring in the future or maybe Ms. Morris will finally get it together because as of right now this is school is scoring the lowest in the area. In math, english, and writing. Has no teachers who wanna work there. And your child will leave this school not only behind on the curriculum but also having to have therapy to help process what they went through at this school.

Worst experience for my baby girl . I would never have her go back to that school. The staff is…read moreunprofessional and they let bulling go on! They honestly don't care . The principal ms morris is always late. She doesn't care for the students. My daughter got attacked twice and they did absolutely nothing at all. My daughter need an assessment for an IEP they never got to it. It took too long at that school. Every week it was something going on at the school, my daughter is 4 and she would tell me everyday she didn't want to go. My daughter is non verbal and she managed to tell me that she didn't like it that's how horrible it is!

Tuition is very low. $240 per month without low income assistance. MANDATORY fund raisers(i.e sell…read more$200 worth of raffle tickets) if you don't sell them all, you must pay out of pocket for any unsold) My child didn't start at the beginning of the school year. I still feel lost as far as the hours one is supposed to "volunteer" (20hrs/ volunteer or pay @ $20 per hour) there is no community feel between the church and the school. The principal is so amazing! Ms. Curtis will make you feel right at home and treats you like you've been pals for years! You have to be a very involved parent and ask a lot of questions to the seasoned parents or the staff because like stated in the previous review, nobody actually goes out of their way to make sure new families know about extracurricular activities, homework packets (that was confusing for me as well initially) P.E uniform day, I wasn't offered a tour of the school when I first came in. The students here are so well behaved! What a difference private school makes! Oh! And good behavior is not overlooked! My child has received two principals awards for Honesty. The staff is warm and welcoming. Nobody is standoffish. Not one person. I recommend this school.

My experience at St. Raphael was extremely disappointing. The administration, including Mrs. Flores…read moreand Mrs. Mejia, are focused more on bullying and treating staff unfairly and collecting money than on supporting students, families. These are supposed to be to be women of God !! I also felt that the school primarily focused on one culture and did not do enough to recognize and celebrate the diversity of all students and families this was disappointing to see. Overall, I found the school environment to be overly strict and unwelcoming, and I would not recommend St. Raphael to families seeking a supportive and inclusive school community.

Maybe these people aren't use to using efficient forms of transportation with sleek cutting edge features but it was pretty scary for some. I was just going to pick up my whipper snapper and he got ghettofied with it for no reason. The gang members chased me with a firearm. If your not from the community make sure you have the heart of someone from Compton, Watts, or the Bronx because the principle miss pope act that way in my opinion. After the loc up police came to my home with a restraining order then I found out about their no child left behind policy. Basically if your kid is too smart they divide and concur to the best of their ability. I missed my sons grad due to this order and no longer have a relationship with him after a track history of being a great dad. Given that I'm personally a survivor of the roits of South Central Los Angeles where I cut my teeth it is interesting to see teachers with no low class thinking or slim experience acting so ruff. Some teachers was cool I even consider leaving my wife for one since she was so flirty and my old lady was acting up but that's another affair. It was a mess. I digressed, the main point is that they didn't want my son on social media with me. I'm use to places like Angeles Mesa where teaching and reaching out to family was something to folks. In closure, its a fact that this school has prejudice towards Hispanic, mixed, and white people. I don't recommend. In fact, the cut my sons hair without asking in a afterschool program. The reason why is because my son has lots of education with no family heritage. I can no longer identify with him as of the moments she decided I was too good for her Roman empire. P/S Hi to all that respected us when we were a family.
