As a student going into their senior year, Pacifica has treated me really well. I love the amount of clubs the school offers with great members, though there are aspects in which certain situations have the school pushing them under the rug, and not letting some students show their voice. I want to see more change in how the school listens to their students.

One of my best experiences is the many event they have for the wellness center. How they provide services for many students as well a a stress free festival. What I would like to see change is how they approach math. It needs to be more engaging instead of just get a low passable grade and pass. The teachers are very helpful as they would do anything for you to learn and grow.

There is no support at school. The teachers here are horrible. I was left to abuse, harass, and bullied. I do not wish this upon anyone. The school ruined everything for me. This school needs to be shut down and everyone needs to know about how horrible they treated their students.
