Good experience with faculty and staff. Lots of available courses to select from. Great guidance from my AVID teacher about college, college applications and scholarships. The high school is very old and needs to be remodeled.

Peninsula High School was a wonderful school. The facility that was there was great but the amount of students in the school was a lot and there was not enough facility to go around.
5/13/2024
I think overall my high-school is pretty good. It definetly needs upgrades in the facility but I'm involved in a lot of the arts programs like choir and theater and we have been growing every year. I wish there was more diversity at my school but we make do. The curriculum is pretty nice!
