First and foremost, I would like to express my profound dissatisfaction with Western Christian…read moreSchool. My son attended the school from second through sixth grade, and during that time he endured repeated bullying, harassment, and mistreatment from both fellow students and staff members. He was mocked because of his hair, physically shoved to the ground, and even grabbed and swung around by other students. The incidents became so severe that certain students were ultimately suspended. This all occurred during his very first year at the school. In addition to the physical bullying, my son was also socially isolated and harassed because he did not fit the stereotypical expectations of the other boys at the school. He was not interested in sports, and because of that, he was often excluded and targeted. He was criticized simply for being different. He was also harassed because of his appearance, despite always presenting himself in a clean, respectful, and well-groomed manner. Instead of embracing individuality, the environment at the school encouraged conformity and ridicule toward students who did not fit a particular mold. At one point, the son of a woman who worked in the office physically shoved my son during P.E. class. Rather than fostering a safe environment for students, the administration appeared dismissive of the ongoing issues. Additionally, Superintendent John Atwood demonstrated behavior that I found deeply one-sided and inappropriate. His son was dating one of the girls who had bullied and harassed my son, which created what I believe was a conflict of interest. When these issues were brought to the school's attention, nothing meaningful was done to address the harassment. After my son left the school, he continued participating in theater activities there because of friendships he had formed. Unfortunately, the bullying and harassment continued, this time involving both students and parents. When I contacted the school to report the matter, I was informed that neither my son nor I were welcome back on campus because I voiced concerns and filed complaints. What I found especially alarming was that after I made complaints regarding the bullying connected to the theater event, Superintendent John Atwood escalated the matter to the point that law enforcement contacted me. Rather than focusing on protecting a student who had already endured years of mistreatment, the situation felt intimidating and retaliatory. While attending Western Christian, my son was repeatedly given demerits because his hair extended beyond the collar line. Ironically, shortly after he left, the school changed its grooming policies and permitted longer hairstyles under a new principal. This only reinforced my belief that the treatment he received was unfair and unnecessarily targeted. I also want to say how incredibly proud I am of my son for the person he has become despite everything he endured during his years at Western Christian. He has grown into an exceptional young man and a true role model. I genuinely could not be prouder of him. He exceeded every expectation I ever had, not only academically, but more importantly as a human being. He is kind, compassionate, intelligent, respectful, and remarkably bright. Watching him overcome bullying and unfair treatment only made him stronger and more determined to succeed. Instead of allowing those experiences to define him negatively, he rose above them and became an even better person because of it. Once my son left Western Christian, he flourished academically and personally. He went on to outperform many students academically, including the majority of the current graduating senior class. He was accepted into one of the top-ranked colleges in the country and graduated high school having already earned four college degrees. He participated in marching band, served in ASB leadership, and genuinely enjoyed his educational experience. Most importantly, he was finally surrounded by teachers who valued and encouraged him rather than criticizing or humiliating him over superficial matters such as his hairstyle. I strongly do not recommend this school to families who want their children to feel supported, accepted, and encouraged to be individuals. To this day, I remain grateful that we made the decision to remove my son from Western Christian. Once he left, he became happier, more confident, and significantly more successful. He was never bullied again and finally experienced the encouragement and respect every child deserves. If I could offer any advice to parents considering this school, it would be this: run and run as fast as you can in the opposite direction.

Ok where do I start? 5 stars, wish I could give more!…read more My daughter is in kindergarten right now, and I have nothing but good things to say about this school. They have an excellent school PTO committee, and support staff. The volunteers and staff are so friendly, it makes it a joy just to volunteer! (I know this because I volunteer from time to time). The school takes a lot of pride in the education, and activities they have for the children (It's evident). My husband went to this school when he was a boy, and highly recommended it when we moved to Rancho. The principal is very approachable and sweet. You can always see her with a big smile on her face at school functions/school. It's so nice to see the care and attention this school gives to the children that attend. I know my daughter will have nothing but great memories when she leaves this school, heck I'll have some too! I normally don't leave long reviews, so believe me when I say...this school rocks!

My children attend this school…read more Our experience at St. Peter & St. Paul Catholic School has been deeply disappointing and, at times, alarming. I am sharing this so other families can make informed decisions. There is a serious lack of support for students' well-being. My child experienced ongoing bullying and harassment from both peers and, shockingly, her own teacher. This was brought to the attention of the principal, Mrs. Armenta, yet no meaningful action was taken to protect or support my child. The situation was also escalated beyond the school, but nothing changed. Even more concerning, there were instances where a student made repeated threats about bringing a weapon to school, and that student continued to remain in the classroom without what appeared to be appropriate intervention. As a parent, this created an environment where I did not feel my child--or any child--was truly safe. The school culture among staff also raises concerns. There appears to be a lack of cohesion and professionalism, with visible cliques among teachers and a general sense that student well-being is not a priority. Academically, the standards are far below expectations. My child entered 7th grade only to find herself repeating material she had already learned the previous year in public school. Instruction in some classes was minimal to nonexistent. For example, one teacher relied almost entirely on handing out packets, offering little to no direct teaching or engagement. Classroom management was also lacking, with students frequently out of their seats and off-task without correction. Ultimately, my children did not receive the education or support they deserved. Multiple families, including ours, chose to withdraw their children mid-year due to these concerns. I cannot recommend this school based on our experience. Families deserve a safe, supportive, and academically enriching environment for their children, and unfortunately, that was not what we found here. If you want a safe environment, staff with integrity, academic enrichment, a true Catholic spirit, this is not the school for you.

Kids Are Being SA at Terra Vista Elementary -- Get OUT NOW!…read more I wrote about this a year ago when I pulled my kid out of Terra Vista Elementary because of serious red flags -- a complete lack of cultural awareness and horrifying reports that children were being SA at the school. Now they're in court, and the attorney has filed an affirmative defense, which, in plain terms, means even if they're not denying it happened -- they're blaming children as young as 3 and 4 years old. This is beyond disturbing. Google is now hiding reviews of the school, but I've reposted the one I made last year right here. Even more concerning: the school is now requiring only Black children to check in -- this is discriminatory, period. My wife and I raised concerns about their cultural insensitivity long ago, and their "solution" was to paint a mural. So if the mural is still up, credit to my wife -- but a mural doesn't fix systemic neglect. I'm sharing this to spread awareness. To the families affected by this: I am deeply sorry. I cannot imagine the pain you're going through. I'm sending you love and blessings -- no one should ever have to endure this.

On the scheduled workday, our crew arrived at the school on time and was ready to begin work…read more However, Mrs. Ednalyn Berg arrived late to open the school. Once she arrived, she unlocked all of the doors so that we could begin our assigned duties. While preparing the work area, we noticed that various school materials had been left on the carpet. When we asked Mrs. Berg why the items had not been removed, she stated that the parents had not moved them and told us not to worry about it. We proceeded to apply the floor stripper as part of our work. After the stripper had already been applied, Mrs. Berg returned and instructed us to remove the materials from the carpet. We explained that we could not safely do so because the floor stripper made the floor extremely slippery, creating a safety hazard. We continued working to prevent the stripper from drying, as allowing it to dry could damage the floor and create additional problems. Mrs. Berg then instructed us to stop working so she could speak with us. We informed her that we could not stop at that point because the floor required continuous attention to avoid damage. She became upset and requested to speak with a supervisor. At that time, Jose contacted our supervisor, Ellen, by phone and handed the phone to Mrs. Berg. During the conversation, Mrs. Berg dropped Jose's phone into the water. Jose informed her that she had damaged his cell phone. A short time later, Ellen called back. Mrs. Berg forcefully grabbed Jose's phone and ran into the office while speaking on it. Approximately five minutes later, she returned the phone to Jose. Following this incident, Jose instructed the crew to stop work and begin packing up the equipment. Mrs. Berg then stated that she was going to call Immigration and claimed that her husband was a police officer. She proceeded to call the police and falsely alleged that Jose had assaulted her. Jose immediately stepped outside the premises and waited for the police to arrive. Mrs. Berg stated that the school had security cameras. If Jose had actually assaulted her, the camera footage would have confirmed her allegation, and he likely would have been arrested. However, no such arrest occurred because the allegation was false and unsupported by the evidence. This shows the erragance Mrs. Berg then stated that she was going to call Immigration and claimed that her husband was a police officer. This report accurately reflects the events witnessed by the crew during the incident.
