This is the worst school I have ever attended in my 15+ years of schooling. I am now in college,…read morebeing treated the way I should, and feel the need to leave a review on how badly this school set me up. This school genuinely traumatized me. Ended up switching to a charter school after my first year in 2017 since I felt so anxious around other students after my experience here. The biggest issue here is the LARGE amount of bullying on campus. As a freshman I was immediately bullied by other freshman. One girl randomly singled me out in class and yelled at me in front of everyone. She was upset she got caught vaping in class and thought I "snitched on her", which I didn't do. She was upset she was caught doing something she shouldn't have been doing as a 14 year old. People filmed me crying on snapchat, posted it, and I had people I didn't even know in other grades coming up to me asking about it. I left the class and reported it to the office in tears from embarrassment. They suspended her for 2 days, that was it. She also got into a physical fight earlier that year and dragged a girl by her hair. All within the first 2 months of school. How did the school help me? They switched me from that class to another period, which made me change my elective class. This was halfway through the school year, during spring semester, so any other elective open was closed except for choir. I was unhappy doing something I didn't sign up for all because someone bullied me. I was also kicked out of yearbook during my fall semester, a month into the school year, because I had a B in the class. Ms. Frohoff chose me as an 8th grader to be enrolled in yearbook due to good grades. She kicked me out because the single page I did was bad to her, even though all I did was a follow a prompt I was given. I did it EXACTLY how I was told. She wanted me to change the quotes students gave me. After she kicked me out, they were changed, and students messaged me at the end of the year upset their quotes weren't what they said. I thought that was ridiculous. I had to get put into AVID since it was an available elective. So within my first year, I had 3 different electives. Only 1, yearbook, I wanted to do. This messed up my schedule completely. I also had Frohoff for English. I will forever be disappointed with that class. While other classes read interesting books and had fun activities that helped them learn, all I remember from her class was her complaining about her personal life and just handing out worksheets and quizzes. English is so fun and I felt like this class was such a failure compared to other teachers on campus. I left after my freshman year due to the bullying and lack of support from the staff at the school. There is also racism and discrimination on campus that I noticed other students struggling with. There is also drug use on campus. Hopefully it's better now, but from my experience and others, It is not a friendly environment for most students. I feel like you have to get lucky with the classmates and teachers you have to genuinely enjoy your time here. Oh and not to mention, a teacher getting caught during a sting operation a few years ago for trying to meet up for sexual activities with a minor. And another instance of student committing suicide because of bullying on campus (shown in other reviews). It's insane they don't try to fix their bullying issue after all of this. There are better high schools to take your child too.

If I could I'd give negative 5 to this school. Its unsafe…read moreplace where bullying is normalized. My son was intentionally physically assaulted on campus " for fun", which caused a severe concussion. Some students are constantly playing pranks on others, which gets ignored by school. The school nurse did not evaluate my son and did not provide first aid giving him a note saying he is ok. Same nurse is still working there. No educational accommodations were made despite dr's recommendations and severity of trauma. Teachers told him to figure out missed work on his own, and the principal never offered an education plan, despite us asking for it multiple times. The school failed my son for his absence and missed homework while he was on required bed rest. The student who assaulted my son was not suspended even for one day and continued attending school with no restrictions, while my son was forced to leave because he no longer felt safe. Bullying is tolerated among students and stuff. Even the school security is rude and intimidating toward students, who is freely can grab and pull students with no consequences. I would not recommend this school cause of lack of student safety or school accountability. Bulling is welcomed there.

ZERO. You should make it clear you are not hospitable, oh yeah, I guess you did. I am giving a star for the nice students that were helpful in finding the field.

Our son's Special Ed Case Manager was a coach on campus, and knew little to none about his disabilities. The SLP assigned to our son is an Ableist that tries to make disabled students fit into a NT (neurotypical) mold instead of accepting their disability and supporting them. The teachers do not follow the IEPs, and one teacher allowed our son to be bullied in class daily. The Principal is just a figurehead that doesn't get involved. The campus culture is toxic if you're not athletic. This was the worst experience in SD Unified and lead us to leave the district for a charter school.

Even though I was ill-prepared and late he was really nice about it (and HE was punctual). I can tell if he's not familiar with material he will research it and explain it to you. Since he's an instructor, he has a lot of great study tips too, and has experience with the things that work to help students learn. I asked him the same question a dozen times (more than once) and he was completely patient about it. He was so effective in explaining that I sort of ran out of things to ask about. Free tutors at school are nice to have, but there is a lot of value in having a private tutor like Archie just for you, who has experience and will remain patient if you're struggling. I am hoping to meet with him regularly and really looking forward to a much better GPA this quarter!
