I believe its a good school.Teachers care about you and ask how are you.Help you out when you need it.I felt very safe all 4 years. I never felt any type of danger.Never experienced bullied or people being mean.I feel like at soledad high people were generally nice.Counselors would check on you and make sure you applied on time to collges.If not would make you apply to community college.Which I believe thats a good back up plan.If we had good grades they would give us stuff.And if teachers gave us points we can win airpods or college merch,school supplies.

My experience at Soledad highschool is pretty great. Freshman and sophomore year went by very quick dont remember much due to being in quarantine. Coming back to in person my junior year it was a rough at first because I felt like I lost my voice and felt lonely. Once I was in mid junior year I felt like I was getting back to who I was. I was talking more to other people, going out more, participating in general. Them right now my senior year I had wish I done it sooner but I'm happy where I'm at right now because I'm closer to my friends and my family. I'm having a blast here at Soledad. Not many would agree with me but it all depends how you want to spend you days here. I'm truly going to miss it and my friends of course. I'm dreading the day when we graduate I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Soledad has thought me to get back on track and figure out what I want to do with my life. Right now my main goal is to become a registered nurse at MPC here in Monterey.

This school is honestly one of the worst high schools i've ever seen. I can confidently say that i haven't earned anything this year. 85% of the students here have no goals or aspirations in life and no motivation to learn. I've only just moved here and have see better curriculum in my old elementar...

This school is mediocre at best. To start, the staff. As a whole, the entire district seems to disregard ANY request or concern from a parent or student. Almost every other year, there's a new principal; which just confuses the pacing of how educational and extracurricular programs are managed. SOME...

For the most part, Soledad High School through the years has remained roughly average in regards to the educational quality it offers to all students. Like any school, you only get what you put in. If you work hard in this school, the opportunities can be tremendous considering the preconceived view...

This school is sad to see that instead of getting better it's getting worst.. The administration does not know our community, and they do not want take the time to get to know us. I am a parent that visits the school often, the administration has been very rude to me. They do not acknowledge me or o...
