We recently moved from the Bay area. We came from one of the top schools and I was very disappointed with Cesar Chavez. Since my daughter has been attending school at Chavez she gets picked on a lot by the girls. The language some of these kids speak is unacceptable. We bought our house in the area because of the Magnet program. However our its impossible to get in unless you've been on the list for years.
