For whatever reason, Snowline moved their band directors around to different schools. So, for the last year and a half, Serrano has had Mr. Fell for their band director. He is a new addition to the Snowline staff and has done wonders in the band room. The kids are excited, the band is growing again, and new students are learning instruments from scratch as well as others learning a second instrument. His focus has been on being the best you can be. The students are learning not to be afraid of messing up but instead learning from their mistakes as a whole group and individually. I think it's great how he has managed to turn the kids around in the short time he has been there and hope to continually see the transformation of the students in the future. Serrano also got a new principal around the same time. The office is much better now. It can still get confusing at times and you can see looks on faces every now and then but they try much harder than they did before to help you. The office has been rearranged so that there are now two doors that you can use to get into the office: one for attendance and one for the main office even though it is all open inside. Mr. Andrus has made lots of changes in the school and I'm seeing that the staff reflect the principal's expectation. The teachers are still awesome and always have been!! read more

This post is in no way meant to bully or harrass anyine o place and all statements are true. Once again Serrano High School and Snowline School District fails. A child works hard to make good choices despite circumstances out of their control then a staff like mz Conner takes it away unnecessarily. My daughter has worked hard to go to State Skills competition for the 3rd year in a row hoping to gain achievements that will help her with future education and career goals. She was given pizza to eat with no alternative choice and no option to go get her own food. And it made her nauseous. The School District is aware of her allergies and food sensitivities. Her allergies are no longer as severe as when she was younger, but they're still present and the school is aware. They've had documentation of that since she started at Pinon Hills Elem in Kindergarten. The skills staff were also aware because she was sick on the previous year's trip for the exact same thing. They acused her of throwing up even though no one actually saw her vomit. No student, teacher, CTE Coordinator, arena staff, or stranger saw her vomit! No one asked her. Mz Connor jumped to conclusions and over reacted and had her removed from the trip. No one would even listen to my daughter when she tried to explain over and over she wasn't sick. She even broke down crying and they still wouldn't hear her. Once staff realized they overreacted, they tried to justify making her leave for the safety of the other students on the trip. But how is her nausea due to eating dairy risk anyone's safety but her own? Where was the concern for my daughter's safety? When they figured out they messed up again, their concern was only about damage control, and making justification to protect the school. No concern for my daughter. Now she not only missed the experience of this trip but she also missed the opportunity to turn her hard work into an achievement that will help with college admissions and scholarship applications effecting her future. She had no fever, and despite the accusations she was not vomiting, she was coherent and present and behaving normally, she had no other symptoms. She shouldn't have had to give up this opportunity simply because Ms Connor had the title of CTE Coordinator and needed to flex on a child. Connor overreacted without even having the intellect to assess, ask questions, or even see my daughter for herself. She made the decision without ever having seen my daughter with her iwn eyes. Then when I was angry she called a principal who would rather agree than put any effort at all into considering what's best for the student. I wish I could say this surprises me, but this is not the first time Mz Hansen has shown this trait. It's not even the first time in the last 30 days. Shes shown this again and again. Im posting here because when you go to Snowline Joint Unified School District to be heard, your told the principal has to address the issue and the Superintendent rarely if ever overturns the principals decision. That is a direct quote from the Superintendent secretary just last month when this same school tried forcing my son to take a class that he didnt want to take, and didnt need credit for to graduate high school but was a wasted grade so it would effect his transcripts and his awarded academic scholarships. No wonder the Principal doesnt put in the effort to consider the best interests of the students, no one will disagree with her decisions. I realize staff are humans and can make mistakes too, but not once did this person take accountability or try to make it right. And why would she, when the principal won't put in any effort and the district backs her up. We try to teach our children about integrity, accountability, perseverance, and the importance of hard work and making good choices for their future. Just for staff to step all over them. I went to Serrano, I went to several schools in Snowline district and so did all my siblings and cousins. There use to be staff that valued it's students, advocated for its students, and taught them valuable life lesson instead of stomping on them. That's not the case today. I know this cant be fixed for my daughter. I know both the schools and the district's only action will be to cover themselves. But maybe this will help someone else advocate for their youth. Maybe if enough of us share concern change will be made to help other students. read more

This high school is extremely out of touch with our children and community. Have you ever heard how they speak to our children??? Today, my children witnessed and video recorded a yard duty/proctor harass a group of students that were in line for the blood drive. Ms. Kathy asked them to step out of line, and to"come here," as she put it! She wouldn't advise them on what the issue was, then they were directed to the office and humiliated and physically searched by a dean, Sabrina Merrick, because they were out of class! This dean even insinuated that the students were acting as if they were on drugs, because they were upset for being targeted and harassed! Understandably so!! As a parent, I was quite disgusted to hear of their rude behavior as administrators of children. The incompetence of these adults and their inability to show human decency is astounding. I also was advised that the young ladies are being targeted and forced to change their clothing if this mentioned tyrant proctor, Ms. Kathy feels that a crop top, tank top, tube tops which are appropriate for 90+degree weather. Mind you there are students on the website and on campus as we speak wearing tight fitted short shorts, pink leotard with no straps just today! I will be taking further action as I find it necessary to provide the video of this incident to their parents. How Disappointing it is to see our educational staff and their bitter tyrant yard duty conduct themselves in this manner and talk to the students as if they're not worthy of respect. Our children and families deserve better representation and respect from an atmosphere that is teaching our children life skills. The Hatred is felt by the students and now observed by the adults. read more

Mr Morrison is the most amazing teacher at the school. He will tutor you in any subject, voluntarily gives up free time at lunch to allow countless students into his room, regardless of whether they are his students or not. I took Mr Morrisons class my junior year and went to him for help in countless subjects all up until I finished my experience at the school. Mr Morrison would give me advice, tutoring, and help, just as he would any other student. He deserves a promotion to principal or at least vice. He works harder and puts in more effort in one day than most people put throughout the entirety of their lives. Mr Sullivan was also an amazing teacher who went to great lengths to teach his classes, he does run a bit of a dictatorship, but that's how he keeps his classes in line and it's hilarious that he does it. One of the coolest funniest hardworking compassionate and most of all kind men. Coach Elliot is genuinely so invested in her career. Everyday you can tell she loves to do what she does. She's kind and tries her best to reach every student. I would recommend her class to anyone and everyone. Attend Serrano for the teachers, there are countless amazing ones. read more

Serrano High School - The smells like balls and ass pit - Middle Schools & High Schools Near Me - Phelan, California

Horrible school. My younger brother with autism went there and the teacher was VERY unprofessional. She wasn't patient and very rude. I find it sad that they don't seem to care about students with disabilities. They didn't have prom or grandnight like other students. I do not recommend this place for students who have disabilities. It's a disappointment and very unprofessional. read more

Horrible. Everyone who went there wanted to switch to homeschooling and many did. They really really care about football but nothing else

Only giving one star because it's the lowest you can go, and because Multimedia Academy is good. This school really sucks. You've got a 25% chance of getting a counselor who cares/does their job well. A lot of the teachers are only there to do a job and don't care at all about the students. The school itself is falling apart- some of the classrooms have pipes rotting in the walls and maintenance hasn't done anything because "it'll take too long". It's also not great in the accessibility end of things. The walkways are uneven enough that it's easy to trip just walking, forget trying to get around in a wheelchair. I haven't seen a single sign with Braille on it. Oh, and the proctors suck. They lock most of the bathrooms for some reason, and during lunch they're prowling for girls wearing clothes they don't approve of instead of preventing huge groups of kids from cutting in line. On top of all of this, there's a fight every other week and this year there's been multiple bomb threats and several lockdowns- most of which we had no idea were happening until we were considered in the clear because they didnt want to "start a panic". If you care about safety, feeling like someone cares about you, being able to use the school, or attending a school that is well maintained, Serrano is the worst place to go. But if you want to enroll yourself in a garbage heap, this is a great fit! read more
