My daughter is black THEY ARE RACIST it's a handful of black students. My daughter gets into a physical altercation with a whitr student and they automatically recommends explusion. The other kid did not get suspended they made up false allegations say her face was broke blah blah blah the kid is at the school the following day. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE IF THEY ARE A MINORITY. They will do everything to ruin there lifes they don't play far.

I graduated from this high school in 2012…read more It was a great school! The campus was nice. Sometime in sophomore year, they built a new gym which was dedicated to one of the coaches. They also built a new library sometime in my junior year. Both places were pretty nice. I loved all of my teachers (I was in Special Ed, but I took some General Ed classes)! The staff there were also very friendly as well. The reason I chose this school was because my old friends wanted to go there, but I made new friends there too. My absolute favorite teachers were Mrs. Lorge, Mr. Kaul, and Ms. Uno. Sadly, the latter two retired after I graduated, but they were very awesome! I enjoyed spending my four years at this school.

Be all in because now we're in a situation where we're being harassed by another student's parents. I come to them with my concern about safety and instead of addressing that concern they are sympathetic towards the aggressors. Certain staff like to pretend to mentor the kids (when they're not even qualified to do so) just for whatever concerning discovery made not to be shared with the parent. They gossip about rumors instead of putting an end to em. I'm so sick of this place. The brunt of my negative experience is because of their doing. They put it all in motion for it to happen. My child witnessed something really traumatizing there and the aftercare was non existent. No offers for counseling. No calls to me when the police spoke to my child. Like aren't they supposed to get my permission? I have a daughter at kjms who will be a freshman next year. I signed her up for El Camino so quickly. There is NO WAY I'd let her attend Encina. I want her around competent school staff. If this is your neighborhood school let them only attend for a year and get them out of their once lottery comes around. Never willingly send your child here. EVER!

Mr Melvin Stitt the Principal fully backed Mr Ferkovich and yelled at parents to fix their kid. We had time out boxes when kids were being jerks at recess because shaming was a way of life, not shunned like the other commenter positioned. If your kid is a jerk the sooner the world knows the better. Then maybe your kid will fix their selfish attitude and become a proper member of society. Always know this; sometimes your kid is the problem.

I'm speaking from personal experience I used to go to this school. The teachers are nice but some…read moreof the students are bad influences on other kids. Some kids will try and convince the other kids to swear and disobey and all the teachers do is have them miss out on a recess. Nothing really changes. One thing that really bothers me is one of the teachers there made a student write a letter about lying to their parents because the student forgot a paper, the teacher shamed them for forgetting one piece of paper. The proper way to discipline children is not the shame them.

This school has some really sour teachers and principal. Mrs. Louch and Mr. Holskinect (however…read morethe hell you spell his name) who are probably two of the worse. Very impatient. Very over dramatic. They both have their favorites. They both lack integrity. Mrs Louch was telling me how poor my child was doing at a parent teacher meeting and after about 10 minutes of details and me being pretty shocked with this information she starts going through some paperwork then realizes she's telling me about a different child after she hands me a paper that I alert her is not my childs. Out of touch much? Mr. H (holskinect?) Has little man syndrome only matched by napoleon himself. Very very rude to children, including screaming at them like my mom used to scream at me. Unless you're a favorite then he's like your favorite uncle. This lil man can hold a grudge and throw a temper tantrum like nothing I've ever seen before. If your child is not one of his favorites he will go out of his way to make your child hate his class and school in general. He does not understand how to be the bigger man. Maybe, again, it's a stature thing? I mean, he acts like a 5th grader and is about as tall as one. The new principal is also very dramatic and lacks integrity. Hard to take her serious when she practices less than professional behavior. She seems to believe that if she thinks something is one way then it's a fact. She has a demeaning and condescending tone with children behind closed doors. She will literally belittle and shame children without facts then try and say she has a no bully policy. Maybe she should try not being a bully herself?? There are a few other teachers that don't really stand out and are kind of in the middle of the spectrum. And a couple I just don't know at all. No school sports programs. No anti bullying programs/ initiatives. Inconsistencies with the way they treat and handle students. School in general lacks school pride. Not many programs that other schools have added in recent years. Ie... Tech programs/ computer programs. The teachers below I have either directly had experienced with one of my children having them or they were teachers of close family friends children. Without these teachers/ staff this school would probably be closed down because these individuals are the foundation and the glue that hold this place together. These are the people who aren't burnt out and who actually care about your kids future. Round of applause!! Mrs. Malone Mrs Brandt Mrs, Billow Mrs Burke Mr Guerra (he acts like he doesn't care but he does) Mrs Rhodes Mrs Mcclung Mrs Raley Mrs Barnette Mrs Crystal (librarian / yard duty) Mrs Larson Mr Bartlet Mr Higgins And the two office assistants (sorry ladies I can't remember your names) They do have an after school bridges program for childcare that may be free if you qualify based on your income. There is an avid program which helps kids get ready for college. They even take field trips to local/ surrounding colleges/ universities. They also have teachers that set up some cool east coast trips for the older kids at the end of the year (a little pricey) The school does promote programs offered by citrus heights park and rec. I hope to see some vast improvements here for the sake of the surrounding community. If this new principal is up for the task I hope she acts on it but if not I hope she leaves and this school gets a long term principal at some point so the culture and attitudes can shift for the better.
