“We live near ACS & have a son in 7th & one in CHS after she graduated from ACS 3 years ago. I feel very lucky to have such a wonderful school for our kids every time I pass by the school. Because I hear many bad things about other public schools, I've been thankful for what ACS is offering for our kids. Kids are getting top notch private school quality education & environment at public school expense. I just hope that the cutting of government funding for our schools will not reduce further programs we have now. Thank you all ACS teachers, have a wonderful New Year!”

“On the plus side, the campus is beautiful and state of the art (with the exception of the fact that there is no auditorium) and the teachers are quite good. My son is in 7th grade gate classes at the moment and he is beginning to slip. No one seems to take notice but me. I wish that the teachers were more proactive. The biggest negative for the school is the highly toxic social environment. Diversity is pretty much non-existent, the kids seem to be spoiled, rude and self-entitled and there is drama on a daily basis. I expect that from middle school. What I don't expect is that the administration either buries their head in the sand about it, or doesn't have the time/energy/funds to care that about what's going on under their noses. They do very little make the kids get along.”

“I love that school, I have my second boy there. My eldest is finishing highschool. He was one of the first students to attend since its opening. I especially like the principal Mrs Sistruck and the people who work at the library. I used to volunteer there, now they must have a 'loterie' every year because so many mothers would like to help... ACS, That's just one of the best things you get leaving in Calabasas!”

“The best math and science departments around. The math teachers are kind and caring teachers, that want the best for every student. The kids test scores continue to rise every year and more and more kids come back to the middle school and thank the teachers for preparing them so well for high school.”

“This is a beautiful school inside and out. My son is in special ed for add, and the sped staff has always had my son's intrests in mind. When they called our first meeting, I was shocked to see every one of his teachers sitting around the table ready to give me their insightful feedback on what would work best for him. The teachers are wonderful, but I think the kids there are the best thing. My son has the greatest friends, and always looks forward to school, even though he sometimes struggles academically. Last year (6th)was difficult as an adjustment year. I looked for signs of him losing faith, but he's never uttered the words, 'I don't want to go to school today, mom,' and I credit the school for that. This year, I have signed up with yourhomework.com and now I get emails every day listing his work.”

“My son spent three very good years at AC Stelle. We felt Mrs. Sistrunk ran a tight ship and did a very good job setting the tone for the school. Funny that a previous poster felt too much money was spent on Special Education as my son had his core classes in the program. I will say if the rest of LVUSD had the quality of teachers my son had in Special Ed, then the district would be perfect. Mrs. Schrieber was so wonderful and she really got it that these kids are intelligent and bright, they just don't learn the same way the GATE kids learn. If anything the schools in general have a teaching disability as opposed to the kids having a learning disability. Only complaint would be the lack of actual physical activity in PE and the abudence of paper/homework given in the place of actually running/playing/sports.”

“Great school is your children get the right teachers. Mrs. Coleman in sixth-fabulous GATE teacher, Mrs. Hepps-outstanding English teacher, Mr. Beutel and Mr. Johnson-great science teachers but awful class sizes, Mr. Kane and Mrs. Andrews in 8th GAte-fantastic, Mrs. Asher-wonderful math teacher, Mrs. Sistrunk the principal, nice woman who will listen to you but always pulls the political agenda, Mrs. Baron and Mrs. White in counseling are easy to work with and usually give parents what they want, too much money spent on spec ed and regular classes suffer”

“If your child is gifted, keep him or her out of the GATE classes in 6th and 7th grade (too much arts and crafts and little substance). The regular teachers are wonderful! Enroll your gifted child in 8th grade program-great teachers who are talented and really know their subject area. My children have learned so much in 8th grade. Awful class sizes.”

“I am disappointed with the high class size. The teachers are a mixed bag...a few really awful ones and a few very talented. Thank goodness the advanced class teachers in 8th grade are talented and really prepare students for high school (Ms. Andrews in English, Mr. Kane in history, Ms. Asher in algebra). I recommend that parents attend the PFC meetings to get you voice heard.”

“The school has great test scores because of the overall quality of students. I have encountered some of the worst teachers at this school. Some are exceedingly disorganized and scatterbrained. At the same time, some teachers are very good and really care about the students and are gifted at the art of teaching.”

“This is a wonderful school--with a few caveats--it does greatly depend on who your child's teacher is. The more advanced classes do not necessarily have the best teachers. The advanced classes, however, are your best bet in terms of preparing your child for high school. Mr Kane-great. Mrs. Asher--great. The music program is wonderful, however you have to make the horrible choice between music and a foreign language! Parent participation is high. The classes are very overcrowded--hey, it's a public school! But, as far as public schools go, it's as good as it gets.”

“The teachers and staff at A.C. Stelle are all very good and they are experienced, and they know what their doing. The only problem at A.C. Stelle is that the principal does not jump in and talk to the kids one-on-one. This lack of authority makes our principal seem weak and uncapable of the difficult task of being a principal. Our principal needs to understand the tasks of being a principal, and act upon those needs before she can take leadership over our school. A.C. Stelle has many extracurricular activities such as choir, band, art, French, Spanish, computers, tech lab, and many more. All of the extracurricular activity teachers are well trained in what they do, and it shows. Overall A.C.Stelle is a great school with room for improvement.”
