Our 10-year-old son attended 5th grade in this school for 3 weeks. We bought all the necessary…read moresupplies that was required by the school. Our son was bullied and harassed so bad that we had to enroll him in another school. The principal Mr. Will Summer did nothing about it. We requested all of our son's school supplies we bought to be returned back to us, but they kept almost all the materials. They are so petty that the little stuff they returned back to us was switched from name brand stuff with Amazon or Walmart brands. They are so low that they kept our son's school supplies outside on top of a chair with a paper stuck with our name stuck to the box. DON'T SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO THIS SCHOOL!! THEY ARE THIEVES!! THEY DON"T PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM HARM!!

This is my daughter's second year in this school and she loves it. It's fairly new school, there's…read morenot a lot of students at the moment, everyone knows each other, class sizes are small so teachers get to really know the students personally and academically. I love the feedbacks and the personalized learning plans. As a parent I am very satisfied with the school and my daughter's performance and learning progress here. I'm hoping this school grows and get more enrollment because its such a great community.

My family and I attended a high school jazz and percussion performance held in the school…read moreauditorium. This auditorium is old but is in great shape, well maintained and full of school history which is depicted in the amazing artwork painted on the lobby walls. The AC was on the entire time and worked perfectly. The seats are old and original but comfortable and in great condition. The sound system worked great and the acoustics surrounding the stage were excellent as the sound of the music heard throughout the entire auditorium was perfect.

Came here for a dance recital in the auditorium and while the show was great the space itself was…read moreSTUFFY! I attended a luau show and it felt like they went the extra mile by creating a humid environment inside there which was totally unnecessary. At one point the emcee made a joke saying to please turn on the air conditioner, but we were all feeling the same way. There's plenty of room inside here and there's even balcony seating. There were armed guards at the event for security so I felt safe.

Wonderful staff and students!!! I do career days for my job…read moreand was invited to a West Orange Elementary to do a presentation. This is the 5th time I've done one and I gotta say, outa the three schools I've been to, the students here really understood how and why I do my job. Lots of great questions and participation on the students part as well as extra helpful and friendly staff and teachers. Definitely will keep this on my regular "career day" Schools. Thanks again for inviting me West Orange Elementary!

Freshmen year is over for me, so it's actually Sophomore year. Well, I think the school so far this…read moreyear is very crowded! It's a big place, but I got lost on the first day of Freshmen year. Although, some of the staff are very strict about the "rules" unfortunately I haven't broken a school rule, maybe sometime in the future I will. Ok, as days and months went by, this school got "fun" for me because I got to meet like new people. Downside is that there isn't too much drama around here despite being near a Police Station. Fights usually occur in the East Side of the School at lunch. Upside, my Sophomore year is at it's best, and they say Sophomore year is the hardest year ever.

Santiago Charter Middle School is a fantastic school! I recommend Santiago to any parent without…read morehesitation or qualification. When you visit the campus, you will immediately notice the caring atmosphere because every staff member is amazing (shoutout to Dr. D and Mrs. Pedroza, co principals, for giving this school the big heart that it has)!! If you're on the fence, give them a chance by attending one of the campus events to hear what they have to offer and what sets them apart from other schools. For example, how many middle schools offer international travel opportunities? My daughter went on a 10+ day trip to Europe and made wonderful memories with her friends. Again, this school has it all (including pre-AP!) and so many parents I've talked to all agree it was amazing for each of their kids. No regrets!

Mr…read more incredible super SANTILLAN cared for his students providing them super helpful resources in order to pass his super class (as he would say) compared to Ms.Jahed who would give you false hope in passing the AP exams and manipulate you into thinking your doing great while half of her AP class failed that exam???? Santillan was nothing but the best he has a huge heart for his students, it didn't matter what subject you needed help in he would do his best to help you solve your problems and worries, as to this woman who they decided to keep that would yell at her own students during instruction hour and trauma dump them? this school is getting rid of the wrong instructors and is why students no longer want to attend this school.
