As a mother of a student who started second semester, he did not know anyone and he's extremely shy, I have to say I am grateful for the ongoing support that my son and I received not only from his awesome counselor but his teachers who helped him feel welcomed. He is now in 7th grade and loving his classes. The only downfall for my son is the sport he plays is not offered, the class/club he wants to join I was told has been full, and the food is not good but I think the food issue is most schools.

Historically, WHS : A Great school in a Great community!…read more If there is any ring of truth to some of the criticisms on here on Yelp about WHS, hopefully the appropriate people in the appropriate positions of authority will investigate and remedy - or else, be replaced. It can't be easy being a teacher or administrator in these modern, challenging times, given all the horror stories of present day teens, and their lack of home 'schooling' /up-bringing / discipline/ child-rearing; nonetheless, if there is a community of folks who can perform a better job than most high schools in this nation, Walnut is such a community! What a great high school, though... in a terrific little city outside LA, within the San Gabriel Valley (with one of the lowest crime rates) - one of the top ranked public school districts in Southern California ("Best School Districts For Your Buck in Southern California"; see https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/cities/best-school-districts-southern-california-2015/). Surrounded by and populated with "[q]uality housing" consisting of nice, clean homes part of a master-planned single family housing community, and a median household income at one of the top-earning percentiles in the country at $101,250 according to available Census data, WHS is almost somewhat idyllic WHS is significant part of Primary Education in Walnut, which is served by the prestigious Walnut Valley Unified School District (WVUSD), which, in turn, has been ranked by numerous sources to be one of the top public school districts in all of Southern California. In addition to Walnut and WHS, WVUSD also serves parts of the city of Diamond Bar. Schools located in and around Walnut include: C.J. Morris Elementary School Collegewood Elementary School Oswalt Academy (Formerly known as Oswalt Elementary School) (Rowland Unified School District) Vejar Elementary School Walnut Elementary School Westhoff Elementary School Suzanne Middle School Southlands Christian Schools South Pointe Middle School[46] Chaparral Middle School Ronald Hockwalt Academies (Formerly known as Del Paso High School)[47] Walnut High School Diamond Bar High School Portions of the western side of Walnut are also served by the Rowland Unified School District. The proof is in the puddin (as the saying goes); Graduates from WHS have gone on to continue their educations at the top levels of world recognized/ nationally ranked colleges and universities, and enjoyed careers across the spectrum of professions and occupations. Students (and their parents) should be grateful (and proud as well) of being part of the Mustang family!

My son had a 10th grade english teacher at Rowland High school. She was very unprofessional and…read morevery dishonest. Very discriminatory towards students based upon racial ethnicity. Doesn't take grading seriously and wastes half the period talking about her personal life, very unprofessional for an educator. Her own curriculum fails to correlate with major assignments she gives out to students. These assignments can majorly impact a students grade for better or worse, and due to her inconsistency in teaching, it only really got worse for my son. Inconsistency in teaching also shows in her grading. There is no rubric for essays and major assignments, leaving many students confused and puzzled when given "make or break" assignments. Tends to hold uprofessional grudges against students in her classroom.

Ms Linda from the being made me feel comfortable when I told her my daughter was shy and I was worried. She assured me that all kids are the same and we would see her fit right in. She was right.

I went in to ask when does kindergarten registration start her answer refer to the website. When do I need to sign up for the dual immersion program her answer refer to the website. It's very unprofessional to me it seems like she's been seating in that seat/position for decades. I'm sure there wasn't always a website and these questions I have are simple and happen around the same time every year. Again I came in two years ago to ask her response was the same. And I came last week to ask her response was the same. It's so frustrating to interact w a person like that and it makes my life as a parent trying to get clarification for enrollment harder.

Chaparral Middle School is a very good middle school. This school just gives you a very welcoming…read moregenius loci (you would understand if you had Mr. Garcia for any class. Also if you dont know what that means, it translates to "feeling/spirit of place"). All of the teachers are highly trained and able to do their job well. I am currently in the Design Based Learning core, and it really helps you exercise your brain and they are very strict about not settling for "good enough" for the landforms. Every one of the projects have a criteria that has to be followed. Mr. Lew and Mrs. Robertson are great at getting the 6th graders into the hang of DBL. I am not sure about any of the traditional or tech teachers (the teachers from other cores). Mrs. Hildebrandt and Mrs. Najera are the most lenient out of all the DBL teachers, and they are also great club advisors for Dance Crew and Musical. And then the 8th grade DBL teachers. Mrs. Haro and Mr. Garcia are very good teachers as well. Mrs. Haro is a great science teacher. She has the ability to get the information she is teaching to get inside your head, specifically from the metric system song. Mr. Garcia is the strictest teacher out of all Chaparral. He is completely honest with his constructive feedback.But that is a good thing because he forces you to do well until all of the criteria is met. Chaparral also has a wide variety of electives from DVP (Digital Video Production) to Orchestra. I never had DVP, but I am in orchestra as a viola player, and Mr. Rochford is also a great teacher. He makes the all of the sections of the orchestra to play well. The only issue with him is that he gets angry at the orchestra a lot, but that is just because a few of us don't listen to the group, and therefore not playing together. The clubs that are at Chaparral are also plentiful. I am sure that there will always be something of interest for you, whether it is anime all the way to Christianity. They have it all. And then there are the types of groups at Chaparral. The jocks, who get into almost every school athletic sport they try out for. The people who are just friends. The people who are alone too much. The people who talk about anime too much. And the cubers, the people who cannot go one second without holding any type of speed cube (most of these people are also weebs) Overall, I would just like to say that Chaparral is a really good junior high school in Diamond Bar because of its teachers, choices of electives, and the diversity of interests the students have on certain topics. P.S. What is up with the business photos?
