I was pleasantly surprised when I got Hunter into the Charter school he has attended since the…read morebeginning of the school year. Less than a month after he started to Martin Luther Kind Jr. Middle school; I realized the repetition from my older son's trepidation during middle school. It goes from 6,7, and 8th grades, and it's so bland and overcrowded that it's a miracle now student s aren't falling through the cracks. Between the standardized esta after standardized tests; there's hardly any time for our kids to actually LEARN; and the amount the want you to know to show proficiency in a grade is at least a C-... I remember the minty taste of our class' mint flavored finger paste. Good times...im surprised I never got myself sick! Speaking of sick...we've had so many emergencies come up since moving that what little savings I have is gone. My slumlord landlord charged me for the ENTIRE cleaning and paint/mail patch/etc: fee even though I'm pretty sure I replaced all of the screens in the house myself, did drywall work and patching; perimeter all of the walls and whatnot, paid for installation of services, AND I have receipts from less than a year ago stating all of the items I would fix because they kept dragging their feet. This is somewhat remarkable, considering the fact that the husband who is the owner told us not to worry about doing anything except for sweeping out the house and making sure that things were dusted off because they were planning on doing a whole bunch of demo. However, they did do quite a bit of demo, to the point where I went into the back to make sure I hadn't forgot anything and I had to take pictures because it was so filthy and covered in dust and debris and drywall and chunks of things and the floors were halfway ripped out everywhere and they just left their machinery.. However, the floor was coated in thick white sawdust from the pieces of her got a ring put in and the house itself looks fine except for when the shower started draining again and it would have a very bad drip all night long so I finally decided to call the warranty company but it also run by them the fact that these people have not been keeping up on their warranty and have us let things slide in the house that could've been fixed for a $60 calling fee wind up spending $150 just trying to figure out what was wrong with our pipe out here so it's been a painful move and bills keep popping up but I don't expect them to but I'm hoping nothing else goes wrong until i can see for myself. There is a big piece of flooring in the curve of the house that is weighing down on itself - and the screens I replaced just months ago are now looking like they made need to be replaced again. I kept a detailed list when they came back after not doing a single thing they claimed her husband would do "at his earliest convenience." Instead I had to hire their own under the table maintenance man to help he fix all the random things that needed to be done. But it's a house, right,? It's hard to reconcile that such a huge item it's not worth its weight in shelter and happiness! It certainly is, but I do know there are better deals out there!

I've been working at La Paloma as an Educational Assistant in the IBI department for the past 4…read moremonths and it's been an incredible experience. The school is so welcoming and the staff is warm and friendly. Most of the teachers here appear to all be friends or related in some form, so there's a lot of camaraderie. I guess this is a benefit of working in such a small community. In my experience, the staff genuinely care about the education of the students and try their best to accomplish this task, despite the difficulties with the current CORE exams and expectations. It appeared to me that a lot of investment is made in the materials and equipment that the students have access too. I've seen iPads, laptops, computers and the use of Smartboards in the classrooms. Overall, I've honestly enjoyed the atmosphere and the team spirit displayed here at La Paloma Elementary.

Our family has been part of Method Schools since 2018. So much has changed, mostly positive, some…read morenegative. Method excels in offering extracurriculars, sports, events, AP, honors and advanced courses. They have Dehesa Method Sports Academy which is tailored towards athletes in San Diego county and they recently started The Academy at Method which is a dual enrollment program designed to offer students an early start in advancing their education by taking college courses while in high school. Method has a lot of potential to be a Blue Ribbon school or even a California Distinguished School. It is a K-12 charter school registered in the Acton-Agua Dulce Unified with the California Department of Education. The school primarily offers virtual instruction. Overall my daughter has mixed feelings about her education at Method. As a parent, I appreciate the school's variety of course offerings. I went to a very good high school in OC and I wanted the same for my daughter. If you're considering Method for your child, Method has a yearbook, offers prom, has several yearly events for K-8 and the 9-12 events are mainly led by the high school ASB. As of this review, to my knowledge, Method offers National Honor Society, Hope Squad, Yearbook, and several others high school led clubs. There are some problems that I hope Method improves on. Firstly, lack of transparency. Since Method is primarily online, there should be no question for students or parents on who is leading the school. At an in-person school, most students and parents know who the principal or vice principal is. Most of our time at Method, we didn't know who the principal was. They sometimes call that person the Head of Schools, but you don't know if it's for K-12 or 9-12. Either way, it adds to confusion and distracts from learning. Unfortunately, Method is extremely biased and has double standards. I've experienced this many times, so it's not an isolated issue. Method's administration and teachers don't always respond to an email. Conflict is a part of life and not a fun part; however, when issues need to be addressed, communication is important. Method gets an F in this area. They do not know how to deal with conflict, whether it is with students or parents. Regarding the double standards, the teachers and staff send out emails stating that their meetings are 'mandatory', but it is not fairly applied to all students. Whenever we're told a meeting is mandatory, it's pretty harsh language, 'required' would be more appropriate but nonetheless we attend the meeting. Other students that don't attend are still allowed to participate in the event even if they didn't attend the 'mandatory' meeting which isn't fair. That means the meeting wasn't mandatory after all. My daughter took a college class her junior year but was not given a weighted grade for that class.College classes are more challenging than highschool classes. Regarding AP testing. As of this review, Method does not offer in-person proctoring for their offered AP tests. We are so glad they offer AP tests. It really benefits students so I strongly advocate for it. Unfortunately, Method doesn't really understand how the AP process works. We were told the school would pay the AP testing fee, and we were ecstatic. However, that excitement was short-lived as we realized Method was only supposed to provide us with the College Board AP code, if they would be administering the test. This created a lot of confusion. Since they don't administer the test we had to find a local school with a seat available, and pay $90+ out of pocket for the test, removing the AP code Method gave us. I wish Method had an honor roll system. My daughter worked very hard in high school and achieved 4.0 a couple of semesters and over 3.5 in several other semesters, but didn't receive acknowledgment. She also achieved high scores on the CAASPP test in Science, Math, and English but received no acknowledgment. I've noticed the staff seems intent on doing everything alone without incorporating parents or students. I'm sure they're overwhelmed by doing that. They often speak to parents as if we don't know or understand anything, and they treat us all like we're children. We have valuable contributions. It's frustrating not being heard. I wish I could add more, but this unabridged version is already quite long. I will say the staff and administration is nice and well meaning but they way they do things is extremely frustrating and sometimes backwards. Even the transcript request method is frustrating. They used to include the entire K-12 transcript, and it was like pulling teeth just requesting high school years for the transcript. It shouldn't be like this, especially when it should be expected that colleges only want to see 9-12 grades, not elementary or middle school grades. There's no perfect school. I'm just sharing some of what we've experienced. The flexibility is what kept us there for so long.
