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.

My overall experience has been I would say kind of bland or like just not what I expected for it to be.So I'll start off with the sports program, I played basketball for a year and there was definitely a lot of nepotism and favoritism and a lot of people know it.Then the restrooms to are a problem, they are dirty and that's on the students but also security doesn't really make sure that the restroom is being properly used for restroom purposes.

I think the lunch could be improved at our school. The burgers are always cold and the cheese is not even melted.

The superintendent's raise for the SAUSD district is useless and only benefitting him, when it can be for providing more resources for our public schools. Athletes need proper nutrition before theyre off to practice on 90 degree days, or they may feel exhausted, shaku, dizzy, and in rare cases, have a heat stroke. The biggest change I want to see at Segerstrom highschool is proper food.

I have recently graduated from Segerstrom in June 2010. I'm so proud to say I was a Jaguar. Every teacher strives to give the best to each of their students and does everything in their realm of possibility to help all of their students succeed. I was pushed every year of my four years to succeed an...
