"My daughter graduated last fall from SJCA . All nine years of elementary school were completed there. The staff (including Dr. P.) is by far the best in the WCUSD. Having our older son attend Monte Vista years ago,SJCA is light years ahead of most schools in the district. While you may not agree with everything Dr. P. does, she is trying to be fair and equitible to all parties concerned. I have even suggested to the school board that the model of sucess at SJCA should be applied district wide. EVERY child is entitled to the best education available. This is a school worthy of National recognition. 5 stars plus....."

"There will always be disgruntled parents at any school. Having said that, SJCA is a wonderful school! The principal and staff do everything in their power to help students achieve. There are programs and interventions in place to help all children succeed, not just the high achievers. It's by far the best school around and anyone lucky enough to get their child enrolled should do whatever they can to help improve the school, not bring it down. Keep up the good work SJCA!"

"As a mother of a kinder in San jose, I will give the lowest rating of the teacher, the principle and the staff. very unprofessional, very aggressive, impolite and very impatient, especially a temporary teacher Mr. Salazar. She kept shouting at students who don't follow her directions and complained a lot. If they don't like your child, they will do everything to kick you out of their school. Very bad experience. Please treat your students nicely. Be more patient. PLEASE, no shouting at a kinder...................."

"This school is awesome! i've been trying to get my kids in for a long time. And the Principal is nice too, she doesn't talk down to you, or make you feel less than (like a lot of people in power positions do). My child was struggling and she has done everything in her power to help her!, even offered to help my other child who isn't enrolled yet. The whole atmosphere there is different from other schools I've seen. Even the parents are happy. I definitely recommend this school :)"

"TREBBLE COME ON!! Too bad you feel the way you do and gave 3 stars. BUT PLEASE do us (AND YOURSELF) a favor and go back to night school. Next time you write junk, make sure you ask for help from someone that can actually read & write and check your work. Looks like the one "not there long enough and don't know what happens at school" IS YOU!"
