I've noticed that a lot people commenting that there are to much kids in a class. That is because most parents think that is a good school so they send their kids there. The Santan staff don't want to just tell the student to leave and go to a different school just because they have to much students. They are caring enough not to do that... My brother and sister both went to Santan for 2 years and I thought that it is a great school. And I am in 6th grade and i look forward to going there. I really think it is way better then Willis... I hope u send your children there. :)
I am very pleased with this school! As a student, I have been going to Santan for eight years now. I am currently in eighth grade, and everyday is a good day. I actually look forward to coming to school! There isn't a whole lot of bullying, the classes are filled with awesome kids, the teachers rock, and i looooooooooooove the principal! Yes, there are definitely a whole lot of kids, but after a while you just get used to it. I feel blessed to have been able spend my elementary and junior high years at Santan. Its a fantastic school! (:
being a student at santan jr high i can say that it is unsatisfactory. I am an excelling student with high grades but i am not even acnoknowledged for it. I was put in the LA and math honnor classes but they are exactly the same as regular classes. SAntan is more focused on sports than the acedemics. The one perk to santan it the music and art department. they both have great teachers and many fun oppertunities. But overall santan is not the best school.
I found San Tan Jr. High to be more of a "worksheet" school instead of a project-based school. Coming from a great experience with Ms. Meador from Bologna Elementary, I was quite disappointed with the amount of worksheets coming home as homework. The extra-curricular activities are phenomenal with cheerleading, StuCo, track, cross country, basketball; they have EVERYTHING an 7th or 8th grader could ask for!
I am a student here in the 8th grade and I think that the school has a very good education program and a good staff. But the students. A good amount of them are very nice. But most are very mean and stuck up. I am made fun of for being "Diffirent", for not wearing make-up, and just for being myself. I am shunned for being me. The kids make up their own "popular" groups and whatever those kids say goes. Many people are shunned for just having a mental disorder, like dyslexia. I can't wait to get out of this school so I can feel free again and not feel like I am in my own private jail.
This school has the world's most priviliged,entitled, the rules DO NOT apply to me parents in the entire world. They all think their kids are perfect. They think there are no drugs weapons or fights on this campus but as a parent I can tell you that there are. People give Willis a bad name and every year Santan has more marijuana confiscated than any chandler school combined!!!!
I love this school. It has had no fights. I've never actually seen one at SJHS. Everyone is so nice. And the teachers are the best. In my homeroom almost everyone got Superior Honor Roll.
The school is very clean and their is not much bullying. All the staff is very friendly and it has great security. The sports programs at the school are very good they usualy win the champoinship. I was recently on the basketball team and we went undeafeted and swept the playoffs. Also they have good honors programs and cats too ( Chandler Academicaly Talented Students). Over all it is a great school.
Very happy with this school overall. Teachers are good. Identified our child as belonging in honors math, and then made it happen. Planning to send her there again next year.
i love santan my kids love it too every body should go
