Sol Aureus College Preparatory School

SAC Prep is a wonderful school that prepares its students for high school and beyond. I have been involved with this school for about 10 years with two children graduating fromthere and going on to top high schools. Excellent curriculum!

Sac Prep is a great school. I like the fact that the staff takes time to get to know everyone, and talk to you. My daughter has never felt better about going to school. If they could get more funding for more programs and supplies for library, a band class, sports..

Sol Aureus College Prep...My son has been attending this school for 2 years and his level of knowledge supersedes what I had hoped he would have gotten attending Sol Aureus College Prep. The teachers and staff are wonderful with the children. The environment is very comforting and the location is beautiful.

Can you say, 864 APIs, and going to 900? My son is a Kindergartner there. At the end of the year, he is doing two digit addition, reading books to his 4 year old sister at night, and reciting the school's mission statement. KINDERGARTEN!! If you want high benchmarks for academic performance, and small class sizes (25 or less) for your children, you are an idiot if you aren't considering SAC Prep. Go Phoenix!

Last year when it was time for my daughter to go to kindergarten I was worried about her being in a good school. As I looked around I came to realize the school she was aloud to go to was not doing to well, I had a friend who's daughter was at Sol Aureus and she told me about how good of a school it was so I then decided to check it out!!! When I walked in the office new to the whole school the principal(Mr. Hernandez) stood right up and greeted me! Wow can you say AMAZING ALREADY. They gave me what I needed so I then filled it out and turned it in. I just prayed all summer she would be accepted and my wish came true. This school does so good. My daughter who is a 5 year old can read, spell, add double digits, subtract, do math, read story and answer questions also she can do fractions!!!!!!!!!! They promised me she would be able to read before the end of kindergarten and were they right. This school requires a lot of the parents and children but they are so good at teaching and other things that it is not to hard. GREAT STAFF AND TEACHERS!

My daughter loves attending sacprep. I appreciate their commitment to maintaining a small class size so teachers can effectively manage the classroom. Her grades have improved considerably since attending. I also like the parent meetings and the weekly email blasts that help to keep parents informed.

This school is a positive learning environment that includes art and physical education into the curriculum. The teachers are very professional and communicate the positive and negative behaviors of the students. Communication between the teachers and parents was very strong. The homework logs were current and were included with the homework. The students were responsible to have their homework logs signed daily. The teachers along with the administration had high expectations of their students and expected them to arrive at school prepared to learn. This is a great school and I am glad my children attend this school. The uniforms are also a plus.

Sol Aureus College Prep - We are very impressed with the leadership and the teachers. Their efforts are amazing and the academic progress of our kids has been very good. Your model is working. It has been a great improvement over our recent public school experience. The tough thing for us has been some of the language and attitude the kids bring home from their peers. Character and civility do matter. It is our job as parents to cover those bases and it has been a challenge. We do and will recommend Sol Aureus as a most viable option. They are doing a very good job.

Greenhaven's Hidden Academic Gem. The academic environment of Sac Prep is top notch. Small class sizes, attentive passionate teachers who go the extra mile. This is NOT an easy busywork school; your children will work HARD and will LEARN. Homework everynight even weekends---but they will LEARN. What we have learned this year is impressive compared to other top rated schools in Greehaven which we attended prior. Uniforms are great at neutralizing socio-economic differences. However it is a very socio-economically diverse school and with that comes some less than desireable cultural aspects (language, attitudes, affects) that they can also LEARN. Academically, I give the school a 9 out of 10. School Leadership, I give the school a 9 out of 10 School Culture, I give the school a 3 out of 10 - however, I can see as more families/kids from Greenhaven embrace this school this factor will change. Overall, I have been very happy with the academic aspects of the school. I am struggling with the cultural aspect. Which is more important, comes down to personal choice. There is no doubt Sac Prep will be in the top ten performing academic schools in the district.

I have found this school to exceed my expections in education. I wanted a school where my child could be academically challenged and she was.

LOVE SAC PREP! Both my children started attending last year. My son entered Kindergarten and my daughter was starting 3rd grade. The teachers and staff care very much for my children. My daughters 3rd grade teacher would stay after school to help her in areas that she struggled in. My son's vocabulary has increased tremendously and his penship is so much better now. I liked that I could text, e-mail or call my child teacher and she would respond in a timely manner. Public school teachers didn't offer that availability. I would get the run around and no responses to my emails. My children are learning at a young age that going to a university is an option. I plan on keeping my children at SAC Prep until they graduate 8th grade. I highly recommend this school to all. :)

I left a GATE program and a top school (over 900 api) in the district for Sac Prep. If you are looking for high academic rigor and not just passing the STAR test (no boiler plate learning here) this is the school. This is run like a private school yet is public. Small class sizes (no more than 25 in each class) happy teachers who want to teach and school leadership who has been with the school since the start. This school is NOT for those who are NOT committed to high academic standards and respect of others-Bad behavior or disrespect will NOT be tolerated. This school is about high academic standards challenging enriched curriculum, small class sizes, long school days, integrity, respect and preparation for the future. The focus is not on are you going to college? but instead which college are you going to? There is a strong free after school tutoring program for children that need assistance in addition to an afterschool program and Sac State student homework helpers. Now located in Greenhaven it is clear this school will soon be the academic powerhouse for SacCityUnifed. Enrichment programs are forthcoming. If you want private, but not the cost here is your school

By most accounts, the school was a lot better as a middle school when they were just a 5th through 8th grade school. They grew this year to K-8 and I guess they can't handle it and dont have the money for it. There aren't really enrichment programs, like afters school music, drama, tech or arts. They laid off the art teacher, there is no tech program, the regular teachers are overwhelmed, and classroom management is a problem. Most of the teachers at the school are new to the school. The principal, it is his first year as principal. My son is behind, and there is almost no help for students who fall behind. Parents were told that technology was a highlight of the school , that this was important to the principal, but it took until about half way into the year to even get the new address of school on the web site and to get a site that has student grades and some homeowork on it...still not all. The calender is still from the 2010-11 academic year. They claim it is money, but I wonder if they have the right leadership.
