They recently installed new solar panels and upgraded the classrooms. The staff in the office was always helpful and cheerful when I called in with any questions or to clear absences. The school participates in many voluntary extracurricular activities and competitions like History Day and Robotics; both of these programs have a possibility of moving on to statewide or nationwide competitions! The teachers involved in the extracurriculars are very encouraging and will go above and beyond to make sure the students have the tools they need to succeed in their chosen programs. The teachers at FJH made my daughters time here enjoyable. Special recognition to Norian, Kolb, Escobar, and Chafin for being especially helpful and encouraging. I think Fruitvale is a great school and really care about the kids! (I am knocking a star because we had a lot of issues with the bus driver giving our child problems - primarily because her morning and afternoon stops were different because of my work schedule and he didn't want her getting on and off at different places)

My son attended Tevis for his 7th and 8th grade year and he had a great experience here. It seems…read moreonly right that I release my review since school is back in session. I've had more ups than downs at this school, but my son excelled attending here and that's why I rated this school 5 stars. A few things that I thought was the downside of this school is that there's not too many students who get involved with the academic programs versus the athletic programs. I think sports are important; however, I'm shocked that there wasn't more kids volunteering to get involved in Math Field, Battle of the Books and other academic activities. My son only had a bad experience with one teacher his whole time attending here and part of the problem was that he was unorganized, but when we reached out to Ms. Zaragoza (GATE language arts) she had a bad attitude. Rather than coming up with a plan, she was argumentative and we had to involve the principal. The situation was only resolved because the principal stepped in. If we did not reach out to someone above her she would have continued to act unprofessional. I believe that if you become a teacher then you should do it because you love kids, because if you don't then you'll be acting like Ms. Zaragoza and that's a shame. All in all, I think Tevis Jr High is a great school. They have a really nice staff. My son absolutely loved so many of his teachers. This school praises the kids for doing great by rewarding them and they do a lot of school spirit activities. They have a really nice band program and the kids get to march at Disneyland which is a plus for the kids.

Let's talk about favoritism. BCHS has a clear pattern of treating certain students better than…read moreothers. If you're not part of a well-known family or you don't fit a specific mold, don't expect the same opportunities or treatment. Whether it's in athletics, academics, or even discipline, there's a very obvious bias at play. It's disheartening and exhausting to watch students who work hard be overlooked, while others skate by simply because of who they are or who they're related to. Snobbery runs deep here -- among both students and staff. Instead of fostering humility and kindness, there's an unspoken hierarchy that rewards arrogance, status, and appearance. If you're a little different -- whether that's in how you think, what you wear, or what your background is -- you're treated like an outsider. There's little to no effort made to include or support students who don't conform. And let's be real -- for a school that prides itself on being Christian, the lack of genuine empathy and fairness is pretty shocking. You hear about grace and forgiveness in chapel, but that message often doesn't show up in how administration actually handles things. Decisions feel inconsistent, and it's hard to trust the system when you see double standards in action. And you also cannot forget the corrupt dean that works here. Talks badly about student after they leave to other students that our currently walking the campus. If you're a parent thinking of sending your child here, I strongly encourage you to not go here. Waste of a 17k a Year.

Visited after graduating for a few years I remembered alumni…read morestudents were promised free tickets to all sporting events during graduation, went back for football game not even homecoming one, got charged, told is not free. It was really heartbreaking because it was my first time visiting bchs again after two years. Then I got pretty sad and tried to visit my old teachers, and realise most of them got fired because of low ap score or something. It's only been like three years! Only my maths teacher is left because he is goated. Hey education is indeed pretty good, at least when I was there. Then the president fired himself this year. I really think this school is pretty fake, I really think you should save the money and send ur kids to other schools. It is not worthy. #libertybetter

I am a current attending 8th grader, I will graduate in less than a week. I have had nothing but…read morestraight A's this year, and A's and B's last year, yet this school treats me worse than kids that tend to fight or get detention. This school REQUIRES you to buy either the P.E clothes or a gray shirt or blue shorts for 20$. If not, your grade drops or you get detention, in my opinion, this is dumb, dressing out does not determine you participation in sports or your efforts, this should not be such a problem to the school, if it isn't harmful, why do students get detention or even after school detention. This goes on records! "Student didn't wear a grey shirt and blue shorts, so they go after school detention" make that make sense. Teachers here are either kind or rude, most do not care of your learning. They will leave you behind if you cannot grasp the subject within a week rather than ensuring all kids are able to learn. They will get angry if you ask questions as if it isn't their responsibility to answer these questions for students. While there is tutoring, it shouldn't be needed if teachers are able to teach properly, and many students do not join tutoring in fear they will be bullied for being "stupid" which the school does nothing to stop. Bullying is a huge factor to this school, I myself had been bullied for looking "different" I wore band Tees and had a side part, multiple times I've been called names in front of teachers, yet they brush it off, I have been threatened because I was answering questions in class, I've been called nerd and dork. The teachers do nothing and neither will the office. Even if they do, the worse they get is detention. I witnessed a fight before, the kid that started it got a week of In school suspension, while the other walked in the hallways in fear that the friends of the bully will harm him. And while I admire the school's ability to see the "good" in "bad" kids, they refuse to notice that even after months of being a problem, they will not suspend a kid for longer than a week or keep them in separate classes. They refuse to help the victims and only treat them on what they see and not what actually happens behind closed doors. This is why kids are in fear of their bullies. The school will do nothing if they tell. Instead the bullies will only bully more and continue, they might even turn worse for being a 'snitch'. Because the school basically allows this, these kids don't change and continue to make other kids uneasy or feel as if they cannot speak what they feel. Mr. Postiff, he is too strict, he dress codes shirts with bands on them, dress codes shirts with certain font, he dress codes my bracelets for being "spiked" they are rounded, and the spikes do not damage to the skin, a pencil would hurt more than my bracelets, and why would they care? I am a good kid, with good grades, and try hard, while there are kids that do drugs and are horrible people, but they do not care and focus more on harmless bracelets. They don't care about the children and rather dictate how kids act and look. The office ladies are rude, I bought a ticket for a road trip there and they spelled my name wrong, I asked them to change it, they said no. And they speak with attitude as if I am the problem.

My God daughter's participation in the choir has allowed me to see the school from a unique perspective, and I am excited to share my thoughts. Every year I'm excited to see what themed productions they will do because they never let me down. The productions are always so well done, with great attention to detail and a clear passion for the arts. You can definitely see all the hard work that is being put into it, and it's wonderful to see the students' talents being showcased. Kudos to the choir teacher for keeping the arts alive and for providing students with opportunities to develop their skills and build their confidence.
