Santa Lucia Middle School

Our family loves this school. Coming from a larger community with highly rated schools, we were not expecting to be happy, but our experience has been top notch. Great teachers that have time and understanding, a great student community and a lot of opportunity for family involvement.

The principal in particular is amazing. His approach to every issue that I have been involved in has been sound. The students respect him, and he genuinely cares. Other staff at the school are also excellent, I just wanted to give Mr. Martin a shout-out.

Anyone who posts that this school is anything less than wonderful is way off the mark. We had a child go through the school and we have another there now and it has been such a great experience. The teachers are generous and engaging and actually care. The principal is respected by the staff and is always looking for ways to improve the school. I can honestly say that I don't know a parent in this town who doesn't feel the way I do and who doesn't appreciate the job these people are doing with our kids.

The school has an amazingly dedicated staff that is working hard to prepare students. There is a positive climate where kids feel a real sense of family. Technology is deeply integrated into the courses to teach students the 21st century skills they will need in the future.
