Puc California academy is overall a school that give students the help they need. Being in a Puc school is about being a community because of how small our school is.

Since PUC schools hire people who are still in school for their teaching credentials, I feel that the "teachers" only see PUC as temporary jobs. I have had multiple teachers leave in the middle of a semester throughout my education with PUC. I have had at least one teacher leave during the school year each year starting at seventh grade. During my freshman year I experienced two common core subject teachers leave, a math teacher and english teacher.

It. is a good school. The teachers were always nice. I met some of my best friend there and it was never boring. The thing I didn't like was that the school was small. The food wasn't that great. You couldn't really do much because there was no gym or place to go.
