I don't understand why it is so hard to get in contact with an actual person at this. Ms. Richardson and Ms. Hopkins are very hard to be get through and communicate with too. my interactions with her are as if she's always in the right even though my explanations are valid. Most of the teachers are nice for example like Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Argüelles.

Don't even bother with this school. They don't care about teaching your kids, and counselors don't…read morecare about their students. In the main office, the secretary, Lori Flores? Horrible attitude, she hates her job, no mannerism or respect at all. Parents and students always argue with her because she has a nasty way of talking to people. Counselors will pick up and immediately hang up just so you don't talk to them. A few buses arrive late to school and make the students get tardy passes instead of excusing them... how is that the students fault? Find a better time to pick up the kids so they don't show up late? The principal even seems confused on what to do with the school. This school is so unorganized, they don't even know what they are doing. Silverado and Adelanto High is a better school than this place. Worst experience for my kid good luck sending your kids here.

Contrary to UP's cited requirements (3.0 GPA or higher, no suspensions or excessive discipline…read morereports, etc.) Principal Valerie Hatcher rejected my son's application without hesitation. My soon-to-be Junior had a rocky Freshman year (which he's made up for), and now boasts a 3.82 GPA, and is slated to graduate early! Regardless of his current status, Ms. Hatcher concluded my son didn't meet UP's requirements because of a D on his 9th grade transcripts! It's pathetic that a school would dismiss a student's tenacious effort and progress because of a less than satisfactory FRESHMAN grade. Not only is there a transition phase kids face when moving from Jr High to High School, but these kids were also coming from virtual learning, mask requirements, etc. The district should really take these scenarios into consideration, and review UP's admission requirements - both published and unpublished.

The principal is a micromanager and a tyrant to her staff. While I have no concerns about…read moreadministration being (extremely) strict with students, I will never support them being so inflexible and heavy handed with their STAFF that they can't hold on to good people. Having a culture of high standards of rigor and discipline is great, but what good is being done the students if half their teachers are ALWAYS new because the toxicity of admin pushes teachers out every year??

Horrible school. Vice Principal Veronica Cueva is very bias towards her teachers. Does not see the…read morestudents side and instead takes the teachers perspective. 8th grade math teacher Mrs. Washington does not let students use the restroom whether it be a woman or man. Her classroom is close to tyrany since she treats her students bad besides some of her favorite kids in her classes. Does not try to build you up but brings you down and makes you feel inferior. Some teachers in this school actually make sure their students feel welcome in this school, like Janice Keaton that teaches us things. Some of the security gaurds have a authority complex. Ms. Angela is very rude to students and doesn't here us out. Otherwise she is talking to the lids that she favorites. The security gaurd that also doubles as the baseball coach is also bery rude and makes students feel more like gum under his shoe than actual people. The dress code also is discriminatory towards the women students in the school. They worry more about how short their shorts are instead of the teachers that make students hold their bodily functions to wait for everybody to finish their test. I hate this school.
