Great school!!!. Teachers and staff are all really supportive and welcoming. My husband didn't want our son to attend because the school was small and didn't really have sports, but now he is sooooo glad and thankful that our son is graduating from Ceiba with good grades and confident even with his learning disability he got accepted to good UC's and CSU'S. I will always be greatful to this school for the support and tools they gave my son to succeed in life!!!

Not for every one,definatly not for parents who give into their own childrens preassure,about how hard it is .If you want to really help your children and u are up to a challenge,this is the place for you and your children.If you can't handle the preassure or are not devoted to a good education then don't bother,some may say it's a small place or it has small restrooms,but other school are not better for having more restrooms or being bigger.Ive put 3 of my children through this school at first they all complained,now they thank me,if I had a4rth child I would do it all over,no matter how hard it be for me or how much my child woul complain.verry verry happy parent{thanks ceiba school,and staff}.

The students are terrible and the teachers take away points as "punishment". The toilets are always plugged and there is only one bathroom!
