We’ve had a wonderful experience so far at this school. It’s small enough that it feels like a close community of families and that everyone has the kids’ best interests at heart. My daughter loves her teachers and the curriculum feels well paced. The principal is great - extremely responsive. There are lots of opportunities for involvement/volunteering.

I have had 2 children in Santa Rosa since Kindergarten and they are both in middle school now. With this total combined 15 years of experiences between them, and still counting, I can say that we have been blessed to be in this school! Achievement in academics, social emotional learning, inclusion, and computer aided learning is unparalleled to most comprehensive elementary and junior high schools. The leadership by a compassionate and dedicated principal is reflected in each and every motivated staff person who will go to any lengths to help all of their students to achieve to their maximum potential.

Santa Rosa Technology Magnet School is a hidden gem. It is an exceptional public school with a long history of excellence, stand-out teachers, fantastic families, and strong, ethical, devoted leadership.

my child was bullied for so long and nobody did anything about it. Please do not make yours suffer like mine did by enrolling them to this school.

SRTMS's elementary school is amazing. The teachers are great and the classroom sizes are just right. It's a little small but you grow old with your friends. The middle school however fails miserably. I was a straight A student and I went to high school and struggled. I hate to blame it on the middle school but truly it just isn't a good one. The students are overall nice but it's time for some new middle school teachers. When the principle doesn't send his own kids to the middle school but the elementary, that's a red flag.

This school is perfect for average students. It isn't designed for those who have gifts or are exceptional. Gifted students find themselves bored, frustrated and seeking alternatives. Having had 2 children attend SRTMS, my experience was adequate, not great. The teachers and principal are committed to their jobs however the skill level of the teachers vary greatly. From a technological stand point, if this is a technology magnet, we have a lot to be concerned about. This may be the best that the public school system has to offer which is why I moved my kids to private school. They can release incompetent teachers, have a more diverse program (including a real language and music program) and can meet the needs of gifted students. So sad for the truly bright students who are there through 8th grade.

I am absolutely disappointed with this school. My child attended about 1 1/2 and what not so smart decision we made when we decided to put my child in this school instead of her home school. They are rude (specially the older lady in the front office) who is never helpful, and it seems to rule everything including the over hyperactive Principal who is nothing but a yeller and self centered individual. Many parents are involved, some of them seem rule the school and get special treatment over other families (specially the ones with less money) from teachers and faculty. It was frustrating to talk to a teacher who never followed through with anything. I am so happy to have found a better school for my child, and I feel bad for those who are sold into the whole "rating" thing. ITS NOT WORTH IT!!!

My 3 children all attend - K-5 so far. They are excited to be going back to school, learn an amazing amount - not just subjects but character as well. The teachers are motivated, the parents involved and the Principal is seemingly everywhere at once. I'm shocked at the negative reviews here. We've had no negative experiences, and it's one of the top performing schools in the County (test scores). I have no doubt my children will be very well prepared for high school and for life. They are all off to a great start.
