Santa Rosa Academy

iv been at this school for 4years .i'v seen it go from a wonderful place that really cares about the kids to if you are unsatafied with any thing the school's answer is may be this is not the place for child. i feel the school has changed its focus from a home school environment to a prep. school and now that there are so many kids wanting to get in the school does not care about any kid that might be having some difficulty .i'v had important emails go unanswered. teachers not follow throe with there commitments .i'm very disappointed with the new direction the school has taked not sure what .i'm going to do for next year.

I would not recomend there home schooling program! My son has gone from a 6 year Honoroll student to an average grad student. There set up seems to me more for kids who need to be babysat 2 days a week.Not to mention my childs ego has been crushed and now he does not like school! They disciplined first and ask questions later! My child has been in trouble for things he has not done and then been told he deserved it for not taddling and this is 7th grad mind you. I have had much better experience with the publc schools in Menifee!

We drive all the way from Murrieta to this school because we LOVE Santa Rosa!! As a public school teacher who has their Master's degree in Education, I can say that this school has the right vision of how education and character should be taught. The high level curriculum challenges students to be prepared for college. Teachers and administrators go above and beyond to make the children and families feel important. Our family highly recommends this school!!!..there is a reason the wait list is 1,100 students deep!

This school is amazing. The teachers know what there doing. The Principal is one of the nicest people I know. I have seen a lot of parents talk horribly to the staff and the Principal. The reason why some people do good at public schools is because they give easier assignments. Santa Rosa actually tries to challenge the students. If you excel here, you know your smart. They are great with character, and they try to enforce. It's up to the students to get there work done, not the teachers. And if the students ask for help, they oblige and help them to the best of their ability. I recomend this school to everybody.

The principle at this school is rude to the students and likes to scare the students telling them they would do better at a different school. Instead of being understanding with a family she is very harsh and threatins to kick children out of the school. I cant say this about all the teachers, but one of the teachers at his school does not seem to want to help the student that struggles with an area of learning.The student dropped their greade below "c" so she required them them to go to after school tutoring. This is all fine and dandy but doesent teach much in tutoring just tell thems to finish their homework.She does not sit down with the student and show them what they are doing wrong . I thought that was what tutoring was for.

Santa Rosa Academy is a very good school and I absolutely love it. My children have exceeded at this school. The teachers really care about your child and always are making sure that your child is doing great. If your child is getting a grade C or below then at Santa Rosa your child is required tutoring. I love this. I would recommend this school to everyone.

this is by far the worst charter school i have ever seen children attend to. they are always begging for money and the staff/principle(s) are horrible, and cant do half of their job right.

I am very satisfied with Santa Rosa Academy. They offer choices in education so parents can best decide how their individual student should be educated. This requires thoughtful consideration and hard work by the parent, so this school is not for everyone. However, if you want to be actively involved in your child's education, then Santa Rosa Academy is great school.

This is interesting...it seems that people either love Santa Rosa or are very dissapointed. We have had a very positive experience at this school. My children love their teachers and have been there a long time so they know how many good things have happened since becoming students there a few years ago. We are very happy. It isn't for everyone. Like with anything...it is what you bring to it that determines what you get out of it. The students and teachers have great relationships and the parent community is so involved. We will be here through the end of high school. We love Santa Rosa Academy. Yes, sometimes it takes a while to get to the right person for information, but we've experienced nothing but courtesy and care from the staff anytime we needed help.. I've seen parents behaving so poorly it makes you wonder why they are at the school that is committed to excellent character. Each time the staff responds as politely as possible. Sorry to hear the parent 's below opnion..we have not experienced that at all.

school is a typical charter ran by a uneducated principal. School plays favorites with staff and hires and fires all the time. Fires really good teachers and keeps the favorites. I am already very disappointed in this school this year ! I would never send a child here again
