Santiago Hills Elementary School Reviews

 
This school is over rated. It does well due to overwhelming parental involvement. Some teachers are very lazy and totally unwilling to go the extra mile for your child. They rely entirely too much on parent volunteers. There is a huge lack of dicipline in this school....for the kids and the teachers. Curriculum is only geared to the middle of the road, and could really use some vision to teach kids to think outside of the box. If the parents didn't dedicate so much time and care, this school would be fall apart. Too bad the teachers and administration can't put this much effort and responsibility into Santiago Hills, what a great place this could be.

I have had 3 kids go through Santiago hills and the Principal there now is clearly the worst in the 16 years we have lived in the neighborhood. The school is good but it is hit or miss with the teachers.They vary from good to bad so cross your fingers at the start of the school year.Unfortunately it is virtually impossible to switch your child out of a bad teachers class. The teachers union runs the show and ther is little accountability.There are a ridiculious number of short weeks, early dismissals, late starts, and teacher absenteeism.Really the school is over rated and only rated as high as it is because of tremendous parental involvement.The after school day care however is excellent and has a caring qualified staff.

Our experience with this school was overall positive. The kindergarten teachers were great, the principal is involved and responsible. The pta works very hard, they did wonderful projects and activities for the students throughout the school. My concern, however, is that students who are above average don't seem to have opportunities to advance more. The curriculum is strictly applied, and the students who have the skills to go beyond the curriculum are not motivated in this environment. Also, I think that the level of math in kindergarten was too low. Most kids at that age are ready to go beyond just counting.

This school is wonderful. The teachers are friendly and nice, as well as the student. The curriculum is amazing. Any child is lucky to attend Santiago Hills.

Excellent school! The principal is very fair. Our two boys attended this school last year before moving out of state. Excellent teachers and curriculum.
