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 liked how this school was very involved with their students. They encouraged many of us to strive towards success. The only thing I didn't like about this school, was how far it was from my home, but that's not their problem. Besides that, everything was well.

How can a student of go from a B-F in one day if they do all the work and have passed their tests. This is not possible. But I have a student that this just happened to. The staff needs to look into this and fix it. My student just started working towards her career in law enforcement and they try to fail her. She had all A's and B's now one teacher gives her an F one day later.

However, if you have a child who is driven to excel in academics or athletics or performing arts, it may be prudent to...

I was very nervous about sending my kids to this school at first. We were stationed at Fort Irwin, so this was pretty much the only option. Having friends who were employed at a neighboring school, I knew the Barstow area was not the best. However, I was pleasantly surprised. My kids had a good educ...
