Let me be blunt: Crescenta Valley High School has some serious problems, and the worst of them lurk…read morein the PE department. If you think your kid will be in good hands here, think again. The PE program is a complete disaster--outdated, lazy, and run by staff who seem more interested in power-tripping than actually educating students. But the biggest red flag by far is Coach Mendoza. I don't know how this man still has a job. His behavior is inappropriate, creepy, and wildly unprofessional. He talks down to students, makes them uncomfortable, and seems to get off on embarrassing kids in front of their peers. He has no sense of boundaries, and it's an absolute disgrace that the administration continues to let this slide. What's worse? Everyone knows and no one does anything. Complaints get brushed off, students are told to "deal with it," and the toxic culture just keeps going. It's like the school operates on a "protect the adults, ignore the students" policy. Newsflash: students aren't stupid--they know when a teacher's behavior crosses the line. And Mendoza crosses that line. A lot. If you care at all about your child's well-being, do not ignore the warning signs. This school might look shiny from the outside, but once you're in, it becomes clear just how broken some parts of it really are. CVHS needs a complete overhaul--starting with the PE department and every adult who enables this mess.

I reviewed this school several months ago and wanted to add a comment. My original review that I…read moreposted was hacked and the wording changed to make it seem as if I made errors. I chose not to edit it back in case there is some way for this to be investigated and confirmed. Retaliation from someone at the school would not surprise me. They continued to jeopardize our privacy and safety. After we left I sent back the books we were issued AND ordered brand new books to be delivered immediately just in case another student needed them. They sent the books straight back to me and did not use the forwarding address that I provided to the office. Very poor protocol that jeopardized our safety.

Most of the funding only funds the robotics and cinema teams. Teachers do not teach and fail students on purpose and the administration has not done anything to fix the problem since they don't hear anyone out. We told the counselors about the issues they're having with teachers but they don't care at all and never do anything about it. I told my teachers before hand that I had a competition to go to and needed extra time to do the homework, I finished it and showed it to them and they said that apparently it's too late, it was impossible to finish all the homework they assigned, plus the extra homework they gave in one day so they gave me a zero. Kortoshian and Landisi ruined this school and they don't know how to run a school. They give you a ton of homework and tests which take away all your free time. No one deserves to go to this school.

The micro-school approach really caters to each individual student. 1. Awesome teachers and small class sizes offer exceptional individual attention. This allows thriving students to work ahead and those who need a little more support to both receive the customized care they deserve. 2. The principal has a vision. He utilizes all of the resources available and applies them to the students in a very targeted and distinctive manner. The school's standardized test scores quantitatively demonstrate this by improving year over year and outpacing those of neighboring schools. 3. I truly believe great families make a great school. We have both. Parents are honest, ethical, and actively participate in the progress of the school. 4. Holy Redeemer - St. James School is grounded in the morals and virtues of faith. Not easy to find in many schools nowadays. I am so grateful and happy to be part of the HRSJS Community.

The school's…read moremission, which is to form leaders who serve Christ, exhibit academic excellence, develop strong character, and grow into productive citizens, is not just a statement but a way of life that is evident from TK-8. In line with this mission, we also work diligently to help our students achieve our Student Learning Expectations (SLEs). Our SLEs are the guiding principles that shape our students into well-rounded individuals. The integration of these SLEs into our curriculum is seamless, and it's heartwarming to witness our students embrace them in their daily lives. Working at a school where both our mission and SLEs are central to our educational approach is an extraordinary experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Holy Redeemer - St. James Catholic School to anyone seeking a well-rounded education that shapes students into leaders who will make a positive impact in the world. -Emma Godin (Middle School Science & Math Teacher) -Lesli Ayers (1st Grade Teacher)
