"Exceptional school. My two children have loved their SSF experience and we have been duly impressed and pleased with the Principal, the teachers and staff. It is a very nurturing, positive and intimate environment with high academic standards. The PTO is very generous with it's time and energy and the family community at large is very giving which has helped the school maintain it's extra services like PE, Music, Art and Science to name a few. It has ethnic and socio economic diversity which is refreshing and valuable for the children's experiences and education. There have been some bullying issues but to be fair, no more than other schools as this has become a pervasive and more serious problem in today's world. In response, SSF has thankfully implemented an anti-bullying program that is proving to be effective and helpful for the children in learning how to resolve conflict and take a stand (victim or bystander) against the bully in a safe and productive way. The program also does a lot of proactive modeling of positive behavior and promotes empathy and kindness. It is a very safe and happy place overall and I can't say enough about this school."

"I feel so lucky to send my kids to this amazing school! It feels like a private school, the teachers are amazing, I love and respect the principal, it's just an overall excellent school environment and every day I feel thankful this this is where my 3 kids will go from kindergarten through 6th grade."

"This school and all of its staff, including the administration, are excellent! The academics are superior at all grade levels. I am thrilled with all that my daughter learned in her kindergarten year last year. My son has also had an amazing experience at the upper grade levels."

"I have two girls who have gone through this school. The education at the school is superior to most other public schools because the socio-economics of the zip code is rather unique therefore the additional funds for extras is available. In the last few years though, there has been a growing lack of action in resolving an increasing bullying problem with the girls at the school. Many parents are concerned about the issue and have not found the expected support from the current principal. This has led several parents to choose to leave the school and move into some of the private schools of the area. It is very disconcerting that we have children who are feeling intimidated by their peers at this young age and don't see their authoritative figures assisting in a solution."

"Fabulous School! Four of our children have graduated from Solana Santa Fe. They have been very well prepared for their future education. Wonderful administration, excellent teachers, extremely involved and giving parents, outstanding PTO. All parties consider 'What's best for Kids' when making decisions. Open to new ideas, strive to educate the 'whole child.' Can't imagine a better elementary school experience."
