We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

There were good times and there were bad times. I made it to my senior year and I am so happy for it all. Some times bad times become the best times because it makes you stronger. My beat and worst memories are from wrestling because I worked so hard and got hurt but it gave me such great memories with the wins and losses. I gave it my all and worked hard and that gave me such a great feeling of accomplishment even if my body was hurting. The only thing I would change is to have myself realize how fast it went.

Otay Ranch overall is a good school to be at. There could be small improvements like the food, cleanliness, and some better staff.

It was not bad. Some things could be changed, such as the food, amount of bathrooms open, quality of facilities, funding for the dance teams and dance clubs including all female. I believe the school hasn't fully supported all female and all male, as they should be allowed to utilize the dance room like other schools in the district. Instead, these teams have to practice elsewhere, which makes it harder for the teams to practice, just like any other sport.
