    "My kid attended Brywood Elementary and Santiago Hills Elementary. Both are fine schools, and the academic rigor level and homework amount depend on which teacher you have, but in general my kid (who attends regular class and is in GATE group getting mostly As) told me that: 1. Santiago Hills is more difficult academically than Brywood. 2. Santiago gives more work in form of many projects. 3. Kids in his Santiago class appear to be "smarter" than kids in his class in Brywood. That's my kid's impression, but often, kids' impression is more accurate. Many people say Canyon View Elementary school is the best elementary school in Irvine, while Santiago Hills is 2nd; and I have no reason to disagree with this assessment. Anyway, my kid likes Santiago Hills better, but he also liked Brywood. One good thing about Irvine school seems to be that there are no bully kids. My impression is that all Irvine schools seem to be pretty good, so the most important thing to me is that we live close enough to elementary, Middle School and High School, so our kid can walk or ride bike to school. Other than that, I really care less which school in Irvine or Tustin he goes to."

    "We just moved our kid to Santiago Hill and love this school. Every one in the school including the Principal is so welcoming. My kid's teacher is excellent and the Principal is nice and very caring for his students."

    "I am fairly new to the neighborhood and have one child in this school. My early impression is that the teachers and the administration overly-depend on very active parent involvement. The principle seems to be really engaged and active, but he needs to focus on improving teacher performance, changing the culture to one of greater teacher accountability and on winning a blue ribbon award or a distinguished school designation to re-instill pride and to support continued parent involvement. The PTA is very active, but focused almost exclusively on helping teachers do their jobs and raising money. What is really needed is to support and challenge the teachers and administrators to achieve academic excellence. The site council and the PTA is no substitute for strong administrative leadership and teacher excellence and accountability. Overall, it is safe and inviting place, and with an API of 927 is an good performing school, but I worry that the school culture is ok with their existing performance and that academic excellence is not central to its strategy and activities."

    "We are very impressed by Santiago Hills. Our children have done very well at the school. While some of the teachers are older and a bit old fashioned - the school is safe and inviting. The atmosphere at the school has greatly changed with the arival of a new principal. The teachers seem warmer and the front office is very inviting."
