This is a wonderful school and of course if your child goes to this school it's a good school! The…read moreteachers are all so caring and appear to have a good relations ship with the students. There is one teacher who really appears to bond just a little better than the other. Not sure what his name is but as the kids where walking up to get their promotional certificates for graduation yesterday 6/4/25 he did special gestures with each and everyone of his students which was a treat to watch. Thank you to that awesome teacher! My biggest complaint was that the promotion was exceptionally long! I attended a college graduation and a HS graduation both within these last 3 weeks and this 8 grade promotion by far was the longest! Maybe if the principal hadn't gone on and on and talked so much it would have made it much shorter and more enjoyable. The video at the end was absolutely great and as each one signed off made it even more special. This is the second promotion I have attended for this school. Maybe next year make it more about the kids and not the principal and shorten it. Congratulations to class of 2025! Go little sharks and become big sharks!

He has grown so much academically and is now participating in an after-school program called STREAM. This is a coding class which gives students the upper-hand in this technology-growing world. We could not be happier with San Jose Charter Academy, not to mention, Mr. Tang is an amazing middle school teacher! We highly recommend SJCA!

There are many elementary schools around here but the one has the best teachers. They're kind and patients with the kids. My little cousin got plenty of compliments from her teacher for being a smart reader in class. And her teacher gave a an award for it. She acknowledge my little cousin and that was a really nice thing to do. The school also have those days when the kids can wear pjs, sunglasses, hats, and depend on the week. They usually send the parents a calendar of the month before anything can happen. Which is pretty nice since you can expect anything that will happen that month. Over its a nice school. Teacher do know their stuff, and best of all, school is really clean.

I work for Baldwin Park Unified School District and retired after 45 years. I mainly worked at the…read moreadult school. I am sadden that after our senior Director, Mr. Robert H Benbow passed away on March 12, 2023 after retiring, where he spent 35 years involved in the schools and the community that the school board and the superintendent did not share any condolences. They up to today act like he never existed. In all the years I worked at the district they would send out condolences to staff about the passing of an employee and many times would close a board meeting in the person memory. The only folks that shared condolences is the mayor and Baldwin Park city council. They closed the city council meeting in his memory and last Saturday placed a wreath in his memory at the Esther Snyder Community Center. Those who knew him have many memories of the many things he did for the community and the vision he had as a leader. Mr. Benbow's vision of creating a larger adult school and building the Performing Arts Center was just a small sample of what he brought to the city and school district. I sent a letter to the Baldwin Park school board members and superintendent asking them what the procedure and protocol was for renaming the Performing Arts Center in his memory.I have never received a response. I find this very unprofessional to ignore my letter and request for the process. I am truly shocked that the district has been SILENCED about his passing and the lack of sympathy and respect for a man who worked for the district 35 plus years and did so much . They have acted like he never existed.
