Caring, thoughtful, beehive of activity…read more The students I met are friendly, super helpful, I discovered when we attended registration, and this place FEELS like a private school, with the attitude of "We're all in this, together." The faculty and administration are clued in to their students in supportive strategies that work academically as well as inter-personally. Adults model what they're requiring re:students ' behavior. Love that this Charter School requires uniforms. Love that their cafeteria prepares fresh, locally sourced food to the students every single day. Genius! Loving that all this is coming from the once embattled OUSD-what a complete turnaround for the better, in the past 15-20 years. All the fundamentals are working together for the greater good at Santiago Charter Middle School. Grateful, grateful, grateful. AND...they still have room for new students.

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!

I had a good experience with almost all of my teachers (though I had a couple distinguishably quirky ones). I feel that the technology and science aspects were very helpful (I don't know anyone else who used Blackboard before college!). I had a great experience going through the drama program 6th - 8th grade. I loved going to Catalina, Astro Camp, SeaWorld, and going on snowboard trips. The campus is beautiful now. You should've seen it when the school opened back up :) Overall, I appreciate the time and effort of the staff from 1997-2003. Thanks!

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.

Thanks again for inviting me West Orange Elementary!

My son was being abused, teased and treated terribly by the other KINDERGARTENERS just because he's a little different , was having trouble adjusting to a school setting. Instead of the teacher helping him make friends, they made him out to seem like the troubled kid. My 5 year old said he left us classroom because "he just wanted to make a friend but everyone is mean to him." They don't give consequences to the kids that were teasing him or hurting him or talked to the parents. My son got yelled to " get the Fuck out of here" BY A FIVE YEAR OLD as soon as he got to school and hit with a hula hoop and no one did anything about it. When my son left his class room randomly and was so upset ,NO ONE called me. This all happened week one of school starting by the way.... And we had to pull him out already. Do not bring your kids here.

My child attended Kinder through 4th grade, 2018-2023. Ms. Rubio was the only principle at the time and is now on leave, no surprise there. She is garbage. My child was bring bullied and singled out by the kids, I reported this to the new principle who is still there, a male now. My child's teacher, 3rd grade teacher at the time, and counselor who is still there, who is also garbage. All in turn for all of them to tell me its my childs fault for being bullied and singled out. They had the nerve to ask me why he doesn't play with the other kids.. Hello!! He's being singled out! Also his 3rd grade teacher didn't like when my child told her Her tone was too high. They talk about speaking up but when the kids defend them selves "they are out of line" not of the staff told me my child was outta control, he yelled or did anything to disrespect them just that he spoke up once and that he doesn't play with the out the kids. All they did was roll their eyes. The counselor lady is the worst, telling me to get my child therapy instead of addressing the the kids that picked on him. They avoided that. The male principle didn't say anything at all. His 3rd grade teacher mad because my son spoke up for himself. Total garbage school. I transferred my child after the 4th grade only to see if 4th grade was better. it only got worse.. accusing my child. I had to take him to therapy all they do is hide all the bs.
