Performing Arts Center review. I recently attended a student…read moreperformance at their Performing Arts Center. When viewing the campus map online it appeared much larger and much more confusing than it actually was. The PA Center was immediately to my left as I pulled onto campus, very easy to find and parking was extremely close too! I also viewed the theater seating chart online to pick my seat. I really loved that it showed me which seats would have a blocked view, encouraging me to pick another one. The theater seemed much larger online than it actually was. So when I chose a front row seat, I had no idea I would be "kick up my feet onto the stage" close. It was still a great seat and I could see the entire performance. The acoustics were good as was the lighting. They could definitely use another bathroom, one is not enough!

They have a bully culture that goes unchecked by staff. If you have an issue the principles shrug…read moretheir shoulders and say there's nothing they can do. Even when you request a meeting with the other party's parents and the school, the school declines and allows the behavior. Not a very welcoming learning environment. If other students call your child a racial slur nothing is done. This is ONE OF the earliest environments these children should learn what is socially, ethically, and morally acceptable because obviously they are not learning this at home. To not hold children accountable for their actions is enabling them to continue the deplorable behavior. In addition the school is saying they agree and encourage the behavior by doing nothing to punish or prevent this behavior.

This is like the ideal school, so beautiful building that looks like revival Spanish style. I was able to take a mini tour around the patio with the beautiful tile-adorned fountains, looks like a mini village, so nice everything.

Some teachers have been great, but our teen tried everything she could with her science teacher to get help, and she was repeatedly ignored and disrespected. The teacher had no interest in helping her, and when I had to reach out, the exact same thing happened to me. Poor teaching and lack of support is not what I expected when moving into the Poway school district. We may need to transfer to Mt Carmel or Maranatha if this theme continues to ensure and healthy and supportive education.

I am completely agreeing with one of the comments below regarding the bullying that takes place at this school. There is absolutely nothing serious done about there " no tolerance" policy around bullying. Yes, you receive a response by email , call in person or even all three. However, the issue is that they tell you what you want to hear and they say all the " right" things. So, you trust the process and tell your child just trust; they are handling it. All along my son was telling me nothing is being done or changed. I kept insisting no it's okay, they are on it. Lo and behold after meeting in person with the assistant principal and many calls and emails, I right away sensed the overall lack of care. Again, the right words were being said as they are supposed to. But genuinely , nothing was happening. We have jobs as parents, but more importantly the school has a job to protect our children and keep them safe and to ensure everyone feels welcome. It's no wonder parents are trying to home school these days. Please Mesa Verde get your priorities straight. I hope the new principal going in actually cares.

Del Norte is a beautiful and academically sound high school. The leadership over this school is second to none and the teachers truly care. I'm grateful for the opportunity of my child attending this school as I truly think they work to prepare her for college. Don't get me wrong, this school isn't a cake walk, but it's apparent she will be well equipped to attend college when she walks out the doors her Senior Year. Not only is the academic program better than a private school from what we experienced, the sports program is amazing. Some strong athletes come out of this school. Great facilities, coaches and supervision over the sports program has been a wonderful experience! Love that they invest in their academic and sports programs alike! My kid has never looked back once coming to this school and absolutely thrives. Nice work and thank you. to the school administration, faculty and staff!

"It's a good school, but blah blah is better." Could the kid…read morewith 0 friends care to elaborate? Tell you what! This is a relatively new school in the Poway school district. Common to new schools there are "growing pains" of sorts to work out. At this point, DNHS is 4 years old. So far, the administrators, student body, faculty and parents have stepped up to make this a more than "good school". If MC is better, why are so many kids from its vicinity coming to this school? Some kids coming from RB high neighborhood or even WestView and Poway high neighborhoods make the commute here. Go ahead and ask those guys "why not their area high schools?" Or do you even have to try? Seems obvious... Clearly THEY think Del Norte IS the better school.

Diegueno Country School is the best school in the world. We moved from San Francisco to Southern CA…read morewhen my daughter was entering third grade. She was very behind the other students at Diegueno, but the teachers were so patient with her, and even met with her before school each week to help her get caught up. When my daughter graduated from Diegueno she told me "Mom when I first went to Diegueno, I was the dumbest kid in the class, but now I am one of the smartest ones!" I am not saying that either of those statements that she made are necessarily true, but the amazing teachers at Diegueno helped my daughter, improve and grow, and now her confidence in her abilities are through the roof. She has since moved on to high school, but one thing that is interesting is that the kids from her current school who went to Diegueno for elementary school, are excelling at math and public speaking in particular. My daughter even won the award for being the best at Algebra at her new school, because Diegueno prepared her so well, and instilled a natural curiosity and love of learning in her. You will not find a better school than Diegueno Country School.

They all want to talk to me. They all want to tell me happenings of the day. Dcs is location reminds me of a treehouse and you will have to be okay with the classrooms being a bit smaller than other schools. But they make it work somehow. My kids are happy. I have seen academic leaps and bounds. I used to make sure the kids had two tutors. I have now stopped the tutoring and put my child's education into the care of the teachers. The kids are much more willing to try hard to finish homework without too much prying from me. Whatever system they have. It works. And it is working wonders. When you take a tour take a peek at what the kids are working on and you will have an idea of the academic excellence they strive for. Just book a tour.
