The 1st impression for this school is pretty good, principal is full of enthusiasm and leadership is on its track accordingly, especially communication work is excellent! For everything , parents are kept posted timely via variable comfortable manner, thank you!

My son recently started at Sakamoto. I find the principal and leadership put too much emphasis on increasing their revenue rather than improving the education. It seems the leadership mostly remains busy with trying to improve attendance, fund raising, and the communication is seldom around, "how can we make this a better school". They are way above average in student to teacher ratio, so enrollment is not a problem. Even so, rather than trying to figure out how to take those dollars further, they are still trying to figure out how to make more dollars.

There a lot of volunteer opportunities to earn money for this school. The PTA is strong! There are also many events throughout the year that students and families can enjoy all while raising money for different activities, field trips, enrichment, etc. This school has a great sense of community. We have had a wonderful experience and made many new friends and great memories so far. We look forward to many more.

I would love to have Mr. Adams back. He was fair and competent. He did not pander to certain parents like Ms. Enna. We need real leadership!
