My son was a typical, well adjusted middle school student with mostly A's. High school started…read morewell enough. But then he ended up needing surgery around October with a long recovery time . After missing 3-4 mos of school he felt lost both academically and socially and didn't want to go to school. The public school would not consider allowing him to repeat the grade. Private schools in our area are impacted and competitive to even get into. I was at a loss until my aunt in Monterey told me about Trinity Christian High School. From the first phone call explaining our situation, to shadow day, to interview, and starting a new school around April - it was all amazing and beyond my expectation. Most importantly my son snapped out of his depressed mood after one shadow day and has been going to school happily for the past year.

The AP® participation rate at Monterey High School is 27%. As a family native to Monterey we have encountered Board members and Mr Crawford and staff not listening to students and not doing their jobs for the betterment of all students. Their is bias to put certain students that are in the academies in AP classes and deny others. Violence in classes is kept secret and financial statements are questionable. Public schools need to vet teachers for experience .

MHS is the perfect balance of size and offerings in terms of sports, academics, and extra curricular activities. Now as a parent and student you do have to do your part and choose to be engaged.

Thanks to the caring and driven administration, teachers and staff, MHS is up there with all the high schools in the area, both public and private.

Needless to say, I am a fan! The academics are top-notch and I use the skills and knowledge from the classes I took there to this day. Many of the teachers at York outshine the professors I had at UC Berkeley. The school setting is idyllic - on a hilltop in Monterey. And the community is welcoming and genuine. I am absolutely looking forward to the day when my kids can enroll and become "York Dorks!"

After Freshman Overnight Orientation , I realized that my Mom picked the perfect school for me. Nice Work Mom!

Update.... They still scream all day every day. Today I called and complained, so did my neighbor…read more It's terrible. They are 5th- 8th graders. You hear the same voices screaming like banshees. How is this preparing them for high school? Or the real world? Last week I heard the PE teacher say, and I quote "I am sick of this crap" in reference to students not wearing the correct shoes for PE. Is that the way teachers talk to students now? My teachers never spoke to me that way and I went to public school. Guess you can pay big bucks for your kid to learn how to behave like an animal, instead of a human being.

I don't know how the upper campus is but the lower campus "administratively speaking it is…read moreterrible". 1.- The Principal at the lower campus doesn't do anything if your child is being bullied. And if you're expecting them do something about discipline "forget". 2.- Some of the children there have a BAD vocabulary "that will scares you". As I say some, not all of them. 3.- If you are expecting the principal communicate with you about how they are addressing the bullying problem that your child is suffering there "just forget it". Because she just will keeps sending you absurd justification and nothing more. 4.- The way she TREATS the parents is "despotic". The attention she offers is bad and you can tell when you talk to her that she is not paying attention to you.

Our oldest boy was at MBCS from kindergarten thru 8th grade and was well prepared for high school…read more Our younger, 4 years later, also was at MBCS from kindergarten thru 8th grade. Both graduated at top of their classes. MBCS had about 15 in older son's 8th grade class and younger son's graduating 8th grade class had about 4 due to some staff changes that parents did not like. The education was still good and MBCS dealt with small class size (something the public schools complain about) by combining some grades. Which was not us parents' preference, but it worked. After all, the USA somehow survived long ago in the "one room school house" days of combined grades. It worked and our younger son graduated and went on to MVCS in Watsonville, like his older brother which was an academic kick butt school at least until his senior year when new leadership made changes the staff and students did not like ("IB" etc) and lost experienced teachers. MBCS is affordable at around $7,000 a year. Classes small. Teachers dedicated. They try hard for a small Christian school. And teach both academics for high school prep and good citizenship (Bible teachings) though one does not have to be a professed Christian to attend. Older son went on to MVCS (Watsonville) and was a top student and got a merit scholarship and then on to U.C.Davis which was good on classes but totally sucked at helping him get into a grad school. Davis did nothing to help. Happily older son made a friend of one professor who helped him get accepted into a good grad school in PA, Marywood University (Catholic) where I think she was alumni, and where he did well, got a job in his major and now works full time and is happy with everything but the weather (hot summers, cold winters...not Monterey, CA weather for sure!) It took a lot of effort to even get older son's diploma out of U.C.Davis...huge school, huge classes, huge graduation and so next to nothing in support timeliness and help. Plus did forced "get covid shots or get kicked out" right before classes started so no time to change schools. Younger was a top student at MBCS (the small, mixed grades classes did not hurt...maybe helped with so much individualized teacher/student attention), and then became a top student at MVCS and when applying for college, applied about a dozen schools and was accepted by all. He went to Simpson University in Redding, did well. Good teachers, ho hum counseling dept. A modest sized Christian college where he did well. Worst was 4 in a dorm room for Freshmen, after that he got double rooms with a friend as RA (dorm resident assistant. RA was a good deal...got 1/2 price on cafeteria and free room in dorm as I recall. Plus a $20,000 academic scholarship per year for 4 years. Which was nice for a $50k/year private college (tuition, books/fees, dorm, meals). Then he applied to grad schools, where all but SFSU (San Francisco) the last college I attended, accepted him and is now at Sacramento State University in a very tough doctoral grad program that makes him glad his previous schools were academically intense. So two kids, one now working for a couple hospitals (one full time and one part time) and one a top student due to intense hard work with a heavy, exhausting medical-related academic load, both got their start to successes at MBCS. A small, humble, caring K-8th Seaside, CA Christian school where they began. So yes, I like MBCS because it started out two kids out to a path to successes. And our young niece there is happy. Has friends and likes the teachers. Where could MBCS do better? It could send graded quizzes, tests, etc home each Friday so parents could get weekly "how their kid is doing?" feedback. I think that would be a very helpful idea. Weekly academics feedback instead of less frequent parent/teacher conferences. RH

The principal they have now is amazing and a visionary. The academics for the younger grades (can't speak for older yet) have been great and challenging. Jesus is palpable on campus and everything they do from curriculum to leadership to discipline is through a Biblical world view. Everyone knows every students' name. They are extremely family oriented and all of the staff looks at the whole child before they see them as a student. The class sizes are small and the teachers really learn and work with the individual needs of the students and communicate so well with parents. The students are so well loved and cared for. It's a small but mighty and sweet school!
