I attended Webb years ago, and to this day, I would never wish the experience I endured on anyone else. While the school hides behind shiny brochures and overused buzzwords like "diversity," "inclusion," and "excellence," the reality is far more disturbing. For both students and employees--especially those who aren't white or come from ultra-wealthy backgrounds--Webb can be an isolating, dismissive, and downright toxic environment. Let's start with the obvious: this school preys on money. Just like many elite private institutions, Webb doesn't truly care about nurturing students--they care about who can fund their next building project or bring in prestige for marketing purposes. If you're from a family that can't afford legal backup or extra donations, you're disposable. They claim to provide financial aid, but the way they treat students who receive it is another story entirely. They may let you through the door, but don't expect to be treated like an equal once you're inside. What makes it worse is their performative obsession with "diversity." The administration is quick to throw around stats and statements about how "inclusive" they are, but the minute a person of color speaks up, questions something, or dares to stand out, the school turns cold--fast. You'll be labeled "difficult," "aggressive," or "not a fit." It's incredibly clear that their idea of "diversity" is palatable silence, not empowered individuals with a voice. And favoritism? Rampant. There were students who could do no wrong because of who their parents were or how much they donated. Meanwhile, others--especially those who didn't have the same socioeconomic status or cultural background--were constantly scrutinized, left out of opportunities, and punished more harshly for things that the "favorites" got away with daily. Bullying is a major issue here, and perhaps the most telling sign of what kind of school this really is. I witnessed students being tormented--some openly, some quietly--but the administration? Silent. Inaction was their default. In fact, many students felt like they couldn't report things because they knew nothing would come of it. Honestly, it felt like the people running the school were the biggest bullies of all. Their silence and gaslighting did more damage than anything the students could've done. This environment is not just flawed--it's unsafe for anyone who doesn't fit the image Webb wants to present to the outside world. If you're a student of color, please think twice. If you're an employee hoping for an inclusive, supportive workplace--run. They burn out good people and reward those who keep their heads down and their mouths shut. Any challenges to the status quo are seen as threats. I've carried the weight of my experience at Webb for years. I was a student who hoped for guidance, growth, and belonging. What I got was exclusion, manipulation, and the clear message that I didn't belong. This school doesn't build character--it erodes it. It doesn't uplift--it suppresses. If you're looking at Webb as a potential school for your child or workplace for yourself, I urge you to dig deeper than the polished surface. Ask the hard questions. Talk to people who left. Don't fall for the diversity page on their website. And above all--believe it when people like me say: The Webb Schools are not what they claim to be.

In math and sciences, Webb embraces "problem based learning" -- but they have done it in a very…read moresimplistic and ultimately counterproductive way. Their idea is that they just set problems and the students have to figure out how to solve them on their own. In short, their teaching is minimalistic. I have heard teachers complain about this. In some cases it means no textbook to read up on, no explanatory lectures and even minimal assistance during office hours. Most of the time, if you ask a question, you're told to try to figure it out yourself, as if it's violating some pedagogic principle to actually teach you. So you're paying a lot of money for what amounts to going online and trying to teach yourself what they are supposed to be teaching you. Seems like a weird way to run a school. Fortunately you can't do humanities this way, so the humanities courses and teachers are a lot better. Hopefully someday soon they will snap out of this approach. It's too late for me.

I loved my 4th and 5th grade teachers Ms.Moore and Ms.Layhee both were very nice, we got to do exciting projects it was really fun. 4th grade gold rush field trip was amazing! We did lots of fun things. What I really like about this school is that the students are very knowledgeable and have empathy, in my own opinion I think that kids here does thorough education and that they are able to understand what the teacher is saying. The kids would include you in anything, very helpful. So if your looking at the reviews, don't be shy and make some friends because you would not regret it! You would have so much fun, sadly...I had to leave this school for middle school.

I attended Pomona Catholic from 1976-1980. Jimmy Carter was president during my entire high school…read moreyears. Attending a Catholic school in the 1970's was far different from today and I wish students today could experience the more creative, humanistic approach that was at PC in those days. Of course they were strict about certain things like the length of your skirt, but in the 1970's it was common to have class discussions about controversial topics. My Modern World Religions teacher was Ms. Bolle and she brought in a Christian pastor and someone from the Hare Khrishna sect and they debated and it was very eye-opening. My Freshman reading teacher was Ms. Angel Curtiss who was on loan to us from the public schools (I guess you could do that in those days) In one semester I read two Studs Terkel books (Working and Division Street America), Johnny Got His Gun and the Autobiography of Malcolm X. That class had the most impact on my life. Unfortunately, a few years back I tried to contact Ms. Curtiss to let her know the impact she had on my life but she had been killed in a car accident somewhere in the southern US along with her daughter a few years prior. Students, don't wait too long to let your teachers know how much you appreciate them. In my regular English classes we read many classics. I had Mrs. Morrison for many of my English courses. Ms. Stith was my freshman English teacher and we learned how to write a research paper which at the time was very difficult for me. I didn't do well in her class, however I would like her to know that what I learned about research in her class helped me in college later on. I had a great government teacher, Mrs. Kennedy. My freshman Social and Moral Guidance teacher, Rory Devine, later become a reporter for one of the networks in Los Angeles. Math and Science had the weakest teachers. Back in the day we only had to take pre algebra and geometry to graduate. I do think we were sort of tracked since no one ever mentioned college to me. However, I attended community college and some years later a four year college. We had Driver's Ed in the 10th grade. Mrs Phillips, one of the PE teachers taught the classroom part where we saw scary films like "Red Asphalt." That made me a safe driver. I also always remember her telling us to "leave yourself an out. Don't get blocked in on the freeway." Our behind the wheel instructor was a former marine with a buzz cut, gray suit and sunglasses who never smiled. There were two wheels in the car and he had control of one. Parallel parking was the hardest. The Tuttles were a married couple who everyone loved and I know Mr. Tuttle taught history, drama and consumer economics. I can't remember what Mrs. Tuttle taught. I remember he was trying to organize us to do a play but all of us girls were fighting so he made us sit down, gave us a talking to and had us listen to a Paul Mc Cartney and Wings song, "With a Little Luck." They later moved on to teach public school in I think Temecula. Every year we had this group come in and they set up big screens and played Styx songs. The videos were about values and doing the right thing. When we had mass at PC, they played modern type music. I appreciated that PC was a safe environment. The drug culture was in full swing so there were a lot of programs aimed at curtailing drug use due to American kids dying from tainted drugs. We also had a short program on becoming an emancipated minor. It was the 70's, what can I say. Some students also published an underground newspaper. I still have a copy somewhere. The student writers renamed the school "Prison Camp" and bitterly complained about the ugly uniforms! I wish kids today could get some of the education and experiences we got in that era. Things today are too censored and curriculum is watered down. Teachers don't have the same control of curriculum that they had in past eras. I wouldn't trade my 70's education for anything. Maybe a little project could be for today's PC kids to go back into the old yearbooks and do a compare and contrast evaluation of education.
