Very good experience overall, there can be iffy parts sureounding the school and depending on the crowd. Overall, a good school if you create and stick to your own path.

I think is a good school that have an amazing staff and students that really want to take advantage of every opportunity but we need more resources as students because are some limited budget and this not only affects in the students goals but also show that as community we need to support more the education system so everyone can succeed

As a senior in this high school I have seen the things this school offers and lacks of. During this college experience if it wasn't for the Puente Program I would of probably not applied due to feeling lost and not knowing what to do. I had an amazing counselor that guided me in choosing my major and giving me tips about my essays. This school lacks of discipline and recognition. I would like to see them change and give a proper recognition to the students with outstanding grades and gpa. I believe this will serve as motivation to those who struggle to keep their grades high.
