Personally, I think Santa Teresa has a solid art program as it has a multimedia pathway, and the environment is generally pretty decent. I believe it could be improved in the music department however, and sometimes getting good teachers is based on chance.

High school was very rough for me because I was neurodivergent and my peers were unwilling to connect with me. I'd like to see the school have education programs for the teachers to give them the skills to better help students who are falling behind, instead of leaving those kids to fail.

The teachers are the real sellers of this school. They make an impact every single day but I did find that most complained about the admin and high-ups of the school. They did not feel supported. They did their best every single day and really showed how much they care about their students. School culture could be better but there is something for everyone.

No resources or options are provided for those students that need them...

Terrible. Don't send your children here unless you like them being verbally and mentally abused.

Our son recently graduated from STHS and his four years there were nothing short of what we could have only hoped for. At first, we debated enrolling him in a private high school. However, after careful consideration and speaking with an assortment of families and students at ST, we decided that he...
