I learned a lot about people, some teachers were helpful with college readiness which is good. But sometimes things are a little unfair. I would like to see underclasses to have more clubs and social interactions between them, and have mire opportunities to express themselves without being punished.

The school is to learn, so if I have to grade the teaching they provide, I would say it is poor because, just like five professors are the ones, I would say they know how to teach, and I like their job. On the other hand, we have the installation that may not be the best looking, but they are the worst; the problem is that they have stairs that are not so safe.

I am a senior in Lydia Patterson Institute and so far I like it a lot. The faculty and staff are nice and the food is good. The school has quite a lot of clubs and the environments on them are good.

I am impressed with the students and the teaching of some of the teachers. I had my children at DaVinci and then I took them to Coronado and we didn't like it either. La Lydia 100 percent recommended.

Definitivamente el ámbito natural de la escuela no lo permite.

I was impressed at the intelligence of the students and their eagerness to learn. I was a former teacher at this school.
