Bear Creek is very diverse and in turn makes me feel accepted. However, academically it struggles as teachers aren't use unhelpful teaching techniques which made mathematics and science harder for me to understand.

Bear Creek Highschool is one of the most diverse schools in the stockton area. It has the biggest multil cutural festival and it has tons of community service events as well. There is also a large amount of offered classes, though some teachers may not be the best, there are multipel good teachers I personally enjoyed. In terms of sports, we also offer a lot of sports, and having been in two of the sports, I have had a really fun time.
