I would say that my experience a part of seaside high school has been good. I am a part of the music program and a few clubs and haven't had a hard time fitting in. In fact these extracurriculars are what have helped me open up and socialize as a person. I think that the buildings overall are what could be fixed. There are buildings that need repaired.

I would like to see the administration listen to the students' concerns and problems. Along with that not only listen but take action towards fixing the problems. The administration also needs to support teachers better.

I believe Seaside High School is very diverse with many cultures and students of different backgrounds. However, I think that this can cause altercations between students and teachers. I want the school to provide better safety for the students on campus and be more open-minded to receiving student feedback. Lastly, I would like to see a change in the amount of support the art department in the school gets being an artist myself.

Principal does not support teachers. Teachers are not qualified. Too many subs. Students are not safe. There have been multiple fights and race was a factor. Very sad.

My kid got shot there. They don't have effective teachers who are qualified in training.

The Rating number for this School isn't appropriate. The Score is much lower than a ( 5 ) It maybe better than it was years ago but Test Scores don't lie. And even a rating of ( 5 ) sucks.
