This school district is OK. If you want your kids to experience a stable educational environment, the schools in East Chula Vista & Hilltop High School fit the description. There are absolutely no excuses for kids to fail in these schools, especially since standards are pretty high. The rest of the schools need much work. The school that is in "land of the lost" territory is Montgomery High School. Did this high school really take certain state money & promised to improve test scores, but failed miserably? Hilltop Middle has many little rude brats who think that they can talk back to teachers. Chula Vista Middle can't control their O-Room offenders who disrupt other students who actually want to learn. Mar Vista High School has students who are bold enough to look at teachers like scum & insult them with no hesitation. Castle Park Middle has way too many O-Room offenders that ruin the learning experience for kids who actually want to learn. I could go on and on, but I'd be here for years. A bright light of hope would be the improvements made with students at National City Middle & Granger. Kudos to the staff at both schools. While this is no LA Unifed School District, many of the communities in this district need to get their educational priorities in check, especially the parents & their kids. read more

I just want to share this incident for awareness and not to humiliate anyone. This happened in my daughter's promotion day(castle Park High School. Chula Vista California) June 1st 2022 it was outdoor and its scorching hot I was looking for a shed and saw there is a long roof under the shed and saw there is a unoccupied stroller, so i stood up at the side. As i was standing, there is this lady approached me (like she owned the place) "EXCUSE ME CAN YOU GO AWAY?I GOT HERE FIRST AND I DON'T WANT MY BABY TO GET COVID" I was literally pissed but i don't want to create a scene on my daughter's special day, so i held my anger and composed my self and walk away. But looking at her from a far and saw a lot of people are coming her way and she didn't give a damn and not bothered at all, makes me think that she hate asian as i look and that pisses me more. If you really care about your baby getting covid, why did you bring your little one to a crowded place? if you really cared enough for your baby you won't risk your baby's life by bringing her to a suspected place and even you yourself not wearing a mask, so how can you protect your baby from the virus? and thats how careless you are as a mom. You have no right to ask anyone to go away just for own sake and you don't own the public place!! Respect should be given to everyone fairly, no matter where they came from, no matter what race they are, no matter what their skin colors are, regardless how they look, We should treat each other with equal respect. I hope this post will serve as a lesson to you. You don't know how your words can hurt other people and also to be aware so that it won't happen to anyone again. Sorry For the picture!!I was waiting for to take off her sunglasses so I can take a better picture of her But only this one the best I can get!! I called the school about this matter and I'm still waiting for the principal to call me back!!! Racism is not okay!! Asians are not virus!!!! read more

Wow unbelievable that the board would do this and leave it hanging on the administrators to figure out how to manage the mess they created. The Sweetwater district board of supervisors needs to go now. Hey Parents by the way your kids left school good luck figuring out where they went but hey they're under 14 and can do whatever they want. We have no control over this although our union completely supports the action and walk out. read more

If I could give a zero start I would do it! 7th and 8th grader terrible experience..my Son's rights where violated without any regrets and with all malicious intentions. after my student spent the last month on home hospital due of the complications/offenses/outrages that my son suffered at Bonita Middle School they decided to not give him the opportunity for at least participate on the social promotion ceremony. which I was informed three days before of the ceremony. but my son was invited by the case manager five days prior the ceremony. and they rejected him after. in the end has many of you parents with special needs students know. they blame the parent and the student. which is the most ridiculous actions. after having iep's over iep's for two years. and you heard how "wonderful progress" "and successful" your student is doing. my only suggestion is if you really are looking that your student whit special need can have a positive experience just be aware and don't let your students on their hands. read more

This district seems to employ extremely unhelpful employees. I feel like any question that I have had to ask is either a policy that has not been written, is foreign or is simply ignored. "Let me transfer you to.... department." seems to be their go to response. Having visited several schools in the district, I wonder how funds are disbursed. You can travel to one school in the district and see beautiful facilities throughout while another school appears to be falling apart. Age of school has nothing to do with this comment. Unfortunately, the district is too large to avoid. read more

When I attend Bonita Vista High School and graduated in 2012 there was an ongoing investigation into the district officials over corruption pertaining to construction companies. I felt like that the district did not care about the well being of the students or community in general because the district lacked resources for students to advance like A.V.I.D. (Advancement via Individual determination). I was even president of the program in 2012, but was shut down in recent years due to budget constraints. read more

I called to get my son transferred and i did not get a name of who I spoke to but I was told that there was space in the school I wanted to get him to go to and that I could go in to complete the request. I show up to complete paperwork a couple of days later and I was told not until next school year and that no one had given me that information! I explained about the bullying that my son was going through and Frances in the front desk said "bulling has always exited and it happens in every school" well ok lady but I've even taken my son to the doctor for this issue of him not wanting to go to school and she basically said that they can't do anything and and that she raised her children very well and that I should talk to my son because that was not a valid reason to request a transfer at the time. Well maybe you guys can be a little flexible with these type of issues specially with all that's going around and this district is shady with their budget!! read more

I am so frustrated at this point in time. I have experienced nothing but unprofessionalism and incompetence since my first encounter with student services at Bonita Middle. I have been trying to register my son for school for the past three weeks. I have called and left several messages. I received one return call with registration availability dates but when I called back to set up the date and time I had to leave a message. One week passes still no return call, I call back and actually had the luxury of talking to a live person. Needless to say I am given an appointment for the day after school starts! My son is going to have to miss the first day of school because someone in student services cant seem to get it together. I call down to Sweetwater Union school district to see if I can rectify this situation where I was told by the receptionist "the kids dont do much on the first day of school anyway." She then transfers me to student service where I talk to another non-helpful individual. I explain my situation to her and she tells me I need to call and talk to the principal of the school. Really? I hope after all of this is said and done that I do not experience this type of nonsense with the teacher and the remainder of the staff once the school year begins. read more
