Excellent school with high standards. We are not of hispanic decent however I see a few in here commenting on the subject and how they disapprove of the hispanic population at SJCH, I believe it's a plus. The world was meant to all not to the select few.. Having gone from Saint John's in Chula Vista to SJCH I have seen a huge improvement in my child in many areas. I give SJCH two thumbs up.
I'm a parent of a child that graduated from SJOC and a child that is still attending. I am sad to say that SJOC has changed for the worse over the past 3-4 years. I would have to agree that it does appear that the school does cater or reach out to families who are from TJ. It has had a negative impact not only in the school make-up (large percentage are from TJ) but also affects the parent involvment. For example, PTG meetings have been canceled repeatedly due to very poor attendance (distance for the TJ parents being their reason for not attending). I think this will be my daughter's last year. Many teachers have left, and I feel that the current academic standards have fallen to cater to the new school make-up. I'll miss the people, but frankly I can be this frustrated for free at public school.
It is a loving environment with high academic standards. They still hold values, morals and manners as a priority. It is a wonderful school with wonderful, knowledgeable, and caring teachers and staff.
The management at this school needs to stop catering to the parent's bringing their children from Mexico. It is quite obivious when you attend a function at this school that this is the case. One only has to look at the yearly christmas function put on by the parent's of these children for the 'spanish speaking' staff at this school. This is a sure way to teach their children discrimination. Why don't they extend the same invitations to the staff that doesn't speak Spanish? If I wanted my son to continue to go to school with a high percent of non-english speaking population, I would send him to school in a spanish speaking country. Stjc better hope that these Mexican families keep networking and having children so they can keep STJC in business.
