We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I didn't enjoy the school culture. I found many other students to be judgy and non-friendly. Many teachers wanted the best for their students and the curriculum and assignments made me feel more than prepared for college.

My experience at Redondo Union High was overall pleasant experience. I had good teachers and a support system. However, I feel the school is just too big and I there was not enough outreach and engagement for students to get involved in extracurricular activities to find their people. I felt on my own in that sense so I didnt get as involved as I should have.

The special thing about redondo is its amazing administration and diversity. The majority of the school isn't white and because it is such a big school with a large population, everyone can find their group. The administration is helpful and provides many resources for the students.

The school tolerates white nationalist hate speech and islamophobia. When students speak out against it, they are punished but the students who are racist are not.
