Golden valley high school is an amazing high school full of great staff and students. The best part is the activities but I would like to see more school spirit.
11/18/2023
I have been at Golden valley high school for about 7 months. The best part of my experience is participating on their baseball team. I was at a school a school named Independence Highschool in Bakersfield California and the baseball team targeted me because of my race. The worst part of my experience was missing my original friend group from Independence that didn't treat me that way. What I would like to see changed at Golden Valley high is equal funding for all sports.

Overall, I had an Ok experience. However, I found that a lot of the higher up staff would take advantage of their power and treat their students with disrespect. The teachers, however, were mostly enjoyable. It was obvious they were passionate about their jobs and just wanted to teach children lifelong lessons.

Terrible and Despicable! In fact, I am fifty-seven years old and have never in my life have seen any school treat children as bad as this before. Your running a prison camp. Good luck.

Homework: it really depends on the teacher (just like most schools) Some teachers are very adamant on homework and some hate it, it really just depends on the teacher. Teachers: like i said it really depends on the teacher. Most of the teachers are willing to help you out, and they do offer tutoring...

I wouldn't say it's the best, as there is way better schools than Golden Valley.

I graduated with a right state of mind of what I want to be in college.
