I never knew there were teachers that cared so much about the kids. I feel special at school. I have learned the importance of being nice to all students because we are a family and life it too short to be mean to anyone. I love going to school everyday!!!!!

La Paloma Academy is a wonderful school with caring teachers and staff. There is a strong feeling of family values and my children have benefitted from being there. The teachers have always gone above and beyond for my children to make sure they are learning and successful.

La Paloma Academy was designed to be a safe school where children can grow academically and emotionally. Teachers use a variety of methods to help students succeed and truly love their students. I love this school and it is a joy going to work everyday.

My daughter went to this school for 1 year and it was 1 year too long! I choose this school because it claims to develop family values while providing the highest quality education. The curriculum is very basic and I feel badly that my daughter is going to have to struggle this year to get caught up to where she should have been. Just walking through the campus I could not believe the number of disrespectful kids! There were fist fights and bullying and talking back to teachers like I have never seen! I didn't realize how good we had it at her previous school!

La Paloma is a well organized school. The only Downs is that children have very little saftey and anyone could come as they please. The school is also very strict.

Our son enjoys La Paloma. As it is a small school everyone is on a first name basis. I am disappointed in the school's lack of foriegn language, sports, band or instrument instruction and weak math and reading scores.

This School has really changed my child's life. When he went into the school he was a stright F student. I picked La Paloma Beacuse of the good facilties. From the very first day he was given the attention he needs. Now in 9th grade, my son has Gold Honor Roll and he also on the track team. I thank la palamoma.

This school is great. All parents will love it. It seems to me this is the perfect school for anyone. My son had very bad grades. After attending La Paloma his grades soared sky high. Now He is a Gold Honor Roll Student and Captain of Catalina Track Team. I thank La Paloma. Any child is well off there.
