My son is a freshman and so far, we have been very pleased with St. Francis High School. The…read moreteachers appear to be very dedicated to their jobs, and the students seem to all get along well. We also really like the after school tutorial; all the teachers have to stay after school for 1 hour to assist students with homework. So far so good! Unfortunately, we did end up switching schools but not because of the educational environment (which I felt was good), but rather the inconvenience of the drive! It was too far from our home in Santa Cruz, and they don't have an after school bus for their sports programs, which meant I or my husband had to pick up our son on a daily basis. I would like to add that when you choose a private school you are choosing an environment that is more conducive to learning, in the sense that there are little to no behavioral distractions in the classroom. This is essentially what you are paying for. If such a student does exist, she or he will not last long for expulsion is at the discrepancy of the administration, and they do not tolerate said distractions. At a private school, you are not paying for "better teachers" but rather teachers whose instruction is uninterrupted. This flow does allow your student to learn at a faster pace, which in turn does give your student the opportunity to learn more.

We really enjoyed…read morethe Linscott experience and would recommend it to other families who are looking for the right place for their kids. The administrator, Alicia, seemed caring and organized. Her strengths were common sense expectations and fair consequences for the students on an age-appropriate level. The amazing office wizards, Patti and Our favorite teacher was Lisa Fowler, though, as a parent and teacher myself, I also appreciated Brett Hagerman's firm structure. It's necessary in middle school. The other teachers all seem incredible, too, I just don't know them well because we started in 7th grade.

Gud Evening, I've…read moregive this school FIVE stars because of the IMPECKABLE life experience I gained during my OCCASIONAL attendance. I list my attendance as ****occasional**** only to re-hit the fact that I still took away more life skills than any other bitch ass white kid who did school every day without missing anything except for standard hollidaze such as CHRISMAS, EASTER, HALLOWEEN, ETC. (PLEASE NOTE: these five stars are NOT related to my technical education and I would ask that you do NOT mock me for anything based on your judgement of what my education shud be. I have had enouph of that and we ALL move at our own pase. You WILL regret ANY mocking that you choose to do.) Anyway, my apologies for the note which I have been told is aggressive but it needs to be said and we are each the only ones responsible to stand up for ourselves which brings me back to my main point of this review which is that WATSONVILLE HIGH (GO CATZ!) IS THE ONLY SCHOOL WHERE YOU WILL LEARN TO BE A BALLER. DON'T TRY TO COME AT ME WITH ANY STREET CRED UNLESS YOU WENT HERE. Sincerely, Went There/Done That
