I was a cheerleader for Santa Rita high school and I had a ton of fun with the sports at the school. There used to be a lot of spirit but it has died down a lot now. I would like there to be an improvement in the teaching. There were some great teachers but there were also not so great teachers. The curriculum needs some improvement in some subjects. There is some JTED programs that are really great though.

I loved going to this school but only because I made it to be the best for me. I had a lot of great friends, I got along with teachers and I enjoyed school assemblies.

This was a small school so each student got the help they needed. I would chose this school again because they wasn't too much students that that it became overwhelming and your teachers knew your learning habits and knew how to help you.
