Worst part was my baseball experience in my Jr and Sr year. Coaches were not good and played favorites despite the stats. Best part was it being a safe and clean campus. I made a lot of friends. Admins and athletic directors need to really look deeply at the sports programs. Interview students to see what is going on.

For me personally the best parts of the high-school is the other students I meet and the staff that really pushes me to be my best. the worst part is the staff in athletic that doesn't really care much for certain students and brushes them aside regardless of all the work they put in.

Good staff, but the classes are fairly large. The education feels brusque, and it's difficult to get motivated. I'm transferring to the high school at Moorpark College instead. However, if you're into the high school social aspects, it'll probably suit you better. Otherwise, you're in for four years...
