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.

I transferred to Valencia High School and immediately began failing my math classes. The math teachers did not care too much about their students overall. Any other subject was a breeze, and all the other teachers were a lot nicer. The entire art department was organized, and their teachers definitely knew how to challenge students while still making it fun.
