“I transfered my son to Cajon Park when he was in the 4th grade due to the fack that he would have the 3 greatest teachers wen he the 7th grade, they are Ms. Gauzie, Mr. Jenningd & last but not least Mrs. Leaman. Heses 3 teachers are are what teachers should be Caring, Motavators, Strict but very fare and most important they give kids the tools needed to make it in a very dificult first time inviroment ( Jr. High School). My niece is 19 and had them all when they wre at Santee School and has not forgot the positive way they taught, they were part of the reason se has decided to go into teacher herself. She is in her Sophmore year of College and still is in contact with them and is doing her inclass obsevations with Mrs. Leaman, she wants to learn from the best.”

“Both of my children started as kindergartners at Cajon Park. Earlier today my oldest daughter went through her 8th grade graduation ceremony. In a nutshell the teachers my kids have had are outstanding. My oldest daughter had Mr. Barbary and Mrs. Hodo, both excellent teachers and provide much of their own time in helping the kids improve academically as well as socially through field trips to historical locations on the east coast, Washington DC, Williamsburg and Philadelphia. My daughter passed the District Math test at the 96 percentile, allowing her to move right into AP Geometry at West HIlls. Without a doubt, much of the assistance came from Mr. Barbary and his Math Club, along with my daughters efforts. There are countless others I've left off, but the staff at Cajon Park have established a improving baseline of academic performance year in and year out. 5 stars......”

“My 2 children go to the elementary school and I have never been so impressed by the staff, one in particular. The Vice Principal, JoAnn Schultz is the nicest, most thorough administrator I have ever seen. The school has certainly changed since she arrvived!”

“I have 2 boys @ this school. I have to say after having my daughter and older son @ Carlton Oaks, this is a great school. The kindergarten progam is outstanding. The teachers make sure, in a combined effort, that your child leaves kindergarten with all the basic skills. I have 2 boys that are excelling in each subject. A signifigant part of that, was the great teaching/teachers @ Cajon Park. The ar program challenges them to read and acheive more. Something they didn't get at previous schools.”

“I would like to say that I personally LOVE this school. We are moving out of state and I am so sad to leave, I joined this website just to ensure that I find a school that is just as good as Cajon Park. I went to this school grades 2-8, and my son has gone 1st through 4th and once again Cajon Park has shown what an outstanding school it truly is. Of course you will have the usual with children, quarls and what nots, but the teachers do care about the children and the Staff is an extremly deticated staff. I have nothing bad to say at all.”

“I would like to express concern over the kindergarten program at Cajon Park. My child attends 3 hours and 20 minutes of instruction per day. The teachers and children are rushed through the curriculum and I think it compromises the children's ability to learn effectively. The teachers are overly extended and it shows in their interaction with the children & the parents. Kindergarten is suppose to set the foundation for remaining school years. The children are not enjoying this experience. They don't even get to have lunch. 1st grade is going to be a whole new experience. Kindergarte @ Cajon Park has been a challenge.”

“My son is a 4th grade 1st year student at Cajon Park and I have nothing but good things to say about the school. I would like for the school to mail more correspondence home rather than send it home with the child. This would ensure a lot more contact. You never know what can get lost in a backpack! I really have enjoyed the experience though. My son recently has been asked to take the RAVEN test for the GATE program. While I am very excited, it would have been nice to receive the news in the mail. While my son is very good about giving the information to his mother or myself, you can imagine if it would have been lost though.”

“Cajon Park is a terrific school. The teachers are simply the best you will find anywhere. They are dedicated to each child as an individual and the children are happy to be learning there. The office staff is incredible!”

“I'm the parent of two former students (ages 39 and 41), and the grandparent of two current students aged 6 and 9 1/2. I'm also a former employee. This school is tops in my book!”

“My daughter is an excellent student this school and faculty have a good deal to do with it. Any problems I have had in the classroom were easily resolved by simply meeting with the teachers and working on solutions. The staff has taken great care in dealing with (personal) issues that arose outside of the educational scope. The only problem that I have had has been when needing to speak with the principal. On the few occassions that my wife and I felt that we needed to talk with her directly, we were brushed off without any recourse (i.e. speak with her directly, able to make an appointment, options on follow-up). We had to take our concerns directly to the school board and even then we recieved no response from the principal. The issue was resolved through the school board and I continue to support Cajon Park School.”
