I literally dread going in there to get my child early for therapy. It's one of the main reasons we are switching to a different school new year. The principal also called me to ask about absences. Of course when my child is sick they don't go to school. However the principal said oh they can still come they just have to wear a mask. Hmmmm maybe if people kept the kids home when they were sick so maybe kids wouldn't be out sick.

The school in my district isn't a good school at all. So I had no choice but to look elsewhere. When I came across Carlos Santana, I had to take advantage since they do take students on an application basis. So glad I chose this school! The teachers and staff here are amazing. They're very involved. And on top of communication. The principal is also another sweetheart. She's very helpful and genuinely wants the best for her students. They are very helpful with the parents in regard to providing communities resources for those in need. I do wish they had a PTA so parents can be much more involved. But they don't. That's the only thing I don't like. Other than that, school is great!
