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.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Damien High School. One of the things that stands out…read moremost is seeing how our sons are growing into young men who confidently meet and greet others with a firm handshake, make eye contact, speak clearly, and carry themselves with pride and respect. Damien isn't an easy path, but if students put in the effort, the school gives it right back through its support, opportunities, and commitment to their growth. The atmosphere is incredible, with a true sense of brotherhood and camaraderie that makes students feel connected and supported. As a faith-driven school, Damien does an outstanding job of building character, confidence, and school spirit. The leadership, faculty, coaches, and staff genuinely dedicate themselves to the success of both students and their families. You can see their passion and commitment every day. The athletic department and programs are second to none, providing exceptional opportunities while reinforcing the values of teamwork, discipline, and leadership. We are grateful to be part of the Damien family and highly recommend it to any family looking for a school that develops young men academically, spiritually, athletically, and personally.

What stands out to us is that this school truly focuses on the whole child. Yes, the academics are good, but more importantly, our son has learned how to think independently, treat others with kindness, and carry himself with confidence and respect. Over the years, we've watched him grow into a confident, kind, and grounded young person - something we value even more than academic success. As parents, we've also grown alongside our child. The school supports families with open communication and by bringing in experts to talk about real-life topics like mental health, screen time and gaming, and what the future might look like for our kids - all of which have been incredibly helpful for us as parents. After 10 years here, this has been more than just a school experience - it's shaped our family in the best way.

She doesn't train, she hovers and yells and spirals out of control when someone tries to do it their own way. Everything has to be done her specific way.

The "Chef" will shun your child if you're an "add on" lunch "don't your parents give you money for lunch? We can't keep feeding you, some of this lunch is for the kids that pay for it" There was a rat problem in the kitchen and she wouldn't do anything about it. Just laugh it off and never tell her boss about it and demanded food still be made in the kitchen. HR DOESN'T DO anything about her. They tell you to toughen up and just do it her way because it's her kitchen. They tell you to talk it out with her but the "chef" doesn't want to talk, only dictate. She's clearly the problem and only likes who she likes.

Hello Reader! If you…read morelike you are able to read my original review of this school, I submitted the review on 05/03/2019. Just 4 days later my whole life fell apart. However, I would not know this until many days later because I was in a coma fighting for my life. I woke up at Pomona Valley Hospital on 05/15/19 and I had no idea what had happened. As I became more conscious I learned I was driving my Son home from school; when a young man under the influence of alcohol and drugs crashed into me. My amazing Son Julian was killed instantly and I was badly hurt and unconscious. Virtually everyone who saw me at the hospital told me they were sure I would not make it. My Femur, Tibia, Fibula, Calcaneus, Sternum, Ribs 5-7, Mandible, and Nose were broken. Both my lungs collapsed, I had 2 strokes, and got pneumonia while at the hospital. The day of the accident my wife Jessica called Pastor Lincoln. He immediately started a prayer chain, and had Church/School Officials go to Pomona Valley Hospital to console Jessica and see my condition. They brought water and snacks for my family and prayed for us. I was told Mrs. Lee held my hand and prayed for me for about an hour. My Son Julian's Teacher Mr. Pate came and gave condolences and valuable advice to my Wife. A lot of people from Calvary (most we didn't know or didn't know well) came to the hospital to give support and prayers. It was immensely remarkable. It was my first lesson in TRUE GENUINE CHRISTIANITY. Pastor Lincoln helped my wife with Julian's funeral arrangements and planning. School was actually cancelled the day of Julian's funeral which was held at Calvary Church. I have a lot more to say and many others to thank. However, it is hard to concentrate fully and put everything to words. I'll make it simple, deciding to have Julian attend school at Calvary was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I have met some of the most spiritually beautiful people I have ever encountered. I really believe with all my heart the only reason I am alive, is because of the prayer chain Pastor Lincoln started. Seriously, Calvary Baptist School and Church is absolutely amazing and Godly to the max. Thank you for all you have done for my family and myself.

In second grade the school recommended to transfer him to public school For free additional help (Now I believe WCS can accommodate more with disorders in kids as I believe they have an onsite program to assist better).

I refused this trade, but the teacher did not intervene prior to me rejecting the offer.
