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.

Guajome is an excellent place for students and families. There is a "community school" mindset where all stakeholders work together to ensure students and families are getting what they need to be successful in and out of the classroom. Guajome's sports and club programs are growing as well and they really allow students to get creative and show off their interests and culture. Ballet Folklorico is a club highlight. Guajome truly is a great place to be.

My overall experience with this school was great. I have attended this school since 6th grade and it's been a great journey, especially now that I'm graduating. I loved the teachers and staff and how friendly they were, any time I was needing help. They were there to guide and support me and I truly loved that. Guajome is a good school and their academics are on top because they want their students to succeed. One thing I'd like to see change is probably the lunch food.

Many options and opportunities for students to take part in (clubs) but students don't take advantage of it. A lot of the negative school culture is due to the students themselves. The IB curriculum can be complicated, but worth it.

This school is an absolute joke. The superintendent allows his administration to be completely unethical while he has a 100% hands off approach. Arias is your typical "mean girl," who gossips about staff, plays favorites, gossips about parents, doesn't care about students with special needs, and she...

I attended this school for two years before transferring due to lack of a stimulating learning environment and an engaged administration. When I attended there, they had a huge issue with mold being in the carpets and ceilings. You can smell it in the danker classrooms and as a student with asthma i...

We could not be happier at Guajome. I’ve had two students go through high school and I can’t speak more highly of the small tight knit diverse experiences and opportunities they have had. They also have had the chance to make the best friends with amazing peers, that are motivated, connected to thei...

As a student attending Guajome since 7th grade, I don't recommend going to Guajome. Alot of relentless bulling, i tried to tell the teachers and administration to handle it. But it doesn't really seem that they care.Even being bullied in class by another student WHILE THE TEACHER WAS WATCHING! The t...
