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.

Throughout my three years of Bear Creek, I have met a varous range of peers that demonstrate the diversity of Bear Creek High School. My experience here has primarily been through the clubs, as I have gotten the most engagement with the school and its spirit there. Bear Creek is a good school overall, but I would like to see change in their dress code system.

Student life at bear Creek is the best part of it. Student clubs and organizations are such an important part of the school. Often times it is the only reason to come to school. Classes can be incredibly hit or miss. If you are stuck with the bad teacher you will learn nothing and be set back a whole year in the subject. i say this with experience. Bear Creek has an issue with the quality of teachers. However, some have passion that can not be found anywhere else.

The college and career center at my school was amazing. I really felt prepared because of the resources they provided me. I was in the music program for 4 years and the music teacher is amazing. I took nearly every AP class offered all the teachers were great and I felt prepared for all my AP tests. There were a lot of problems with fights and smoking that would cause the fire alarms to go off. There were also a few threats to the school while I went there but for the most part I felt safe at school. Clubs are such a big deal here particularly the cultural clubs. Nearly everyone is involved in atleast one club and our culture week is the most anticipated event.

From all the negative comments everyone seems to make about Stockton, you would think it was a horrible school, but they have a beautiful campus, much like a community college, it is the nicest looking school in LUSD plus it is in a very good neighborhood, some people are just always negitive and ca...
