I work for Baldwin Park Unified School District and retired after 45 years. I mainly worked at the…read moreadult school. I am sadden that after our senior Director, Mr. Robert H Benbow passed away on March 12, 2023 after retiring, where he spent 35 years involved in the schools and the community that the school board and the superintendent did not share any condolences. They up to today act like he never existed. In all the years I worked at the district they would send out condolences to staff about the passing of an employee and many times would close a board meeting in the person memory. The only folks that shared condolences is the mayor and Baldwin Park city council. They closed the city council meeting in his memory and last Saturday placed a wreath in his memory at the Esther Snyder Community Center. Those who knew him have many memories of the many things he did for the community and the vision he had as a leader. Mr. Benbow's vision of creating a larger adult school and building the Performing Arts Center was just a small sample of what he brought to the city and school district. I sent a letter to the Baldwin Park school board members and superintendent asking them what the procedure and protocol was for renaming the Performing Arts Center in his memory.I have never received a response. I find this very unprofessional to ignore my letter and request for the process. I am truly shocked that the district has been SILENCED about his passing and the lack of sympathy and respect for a man who worked for the district 35 plus years and did so much . They have acted like he never existed.

This is a wonderful school and of course if your child goes to this school it's a good school! The…read moreteachers are all so caring and appear to have a good relations ship with the students. There is one teacher who really appears to bond just a little better than the other. Not sure what his name is but as the kids where walking up to get their promotional certificates for graduation yesterday 6/4/25 he did special gestures with each and everyone of his students which was a treat to watch. Thank you to that awesome teacher! My biggest complaint was that the promotion was exceptionally long! I attended a college graduation and a HS graduation both within these last 3 weeks and this 8 grade promotion by far was the longest! Maybe if the principal hadn't gone on and on and talked so much it would have made it much shorter and more enjoyable. The video at the end was absolutely great and as each one signed off made it even more special. This is the second promotion I have attended for this school. Maybe next year make it more about the kids and not the principal and shorten it. Congratulations to class of 2025! Go little sharks and become big sharks!

He has grown so much academically and is now participating in an after-school program called STREAM. This is a coding class which gives students the upper-hand in this technology-growing world.

In terms of academics, EHS is unparalleled by West Covina, South Hills, Sierra Vista, etc. It is true that our various sports programs are lacking; we still don't have a football team, for example. Our Softball Teams and Swim teams are decent enough though. The IB program, which means International Baccalaureate, is a rigorous program that is above even what AP has, because these are internationally held standards. Getting a full diploma is challenging, but the rewards are immense. The students here are just nice people. Edgewood had a grand total of one fight in the past year, and even that fight was a minor scuffle compared to what West Covina has. There aren't any major cliques, and all students get along with each other. There are different kinds of people who hang out with each other of course, but it isn't as set in stone and there isn't any bad blood between people. Come and see for yourself.

Came pretty last minute and was surprised that parking wasn't that hard to find. We found a spot a few blocks down and although we didn't sit in the school itself since it was already crowded and i believed they were charging to get it........ but don't cry for us kids cuz my boyfriend and found a sweet spot right across the street over by the gas station on the grassy knoll! Just about ready for the show when the water sprinklers came on and there was a mad dash of everyone running! Lol luckily we didn't get wet and after everyone had a good laugh we all enjoyed the rest of the show which was spectacular! Great fireworks and the police had everything under control, as far as i know there went any problems! I think imma be coming back next year!

My experience at this school has been honestly frustrating and disappointing. The environment feels…read moremore stressful than supportive, and it often seems like students are expected to just deal with problems instead of actually getting help. One of the biggest issues is how disorganized everything is. Important information is either given last minute or not clearly explained at all, which makes it harder to stay on top of assignments and expectations. It feels like students are blamed for things that aren't fully communicated in the first place. The teaching quality is also really inconsistent. Some teachers care and try, but others seem uninterested or don't explain things well, leaving students confused and stuck teaching themselves. When you ask for help, it can feel like you're just brushed off instead of actually supported. The rules can also feel unfair or overly strict, especially when they're enforced differently depending on the student. It creates a sense that things aren't equal, which makes it harder to feel respected or motivated. Overall, this school doesn't feel like a place that prioritizes student success or well-being. Instead of helping students grow, it often just adds stress and frustration to an already difficult experience.

Hopefully I can save anyone from making the same mistake I have made by sending my daughter to…read moreBishop Amat High school. I would give them no stars is I could. My daughter has been harassed multiple times by the dean and they have consistently made her feel shameful of her body, even though she is a star athlete that represents the school and has helped them win multiple times. I was originally told by one of their big alumni that they do not like children of color. As a mom with a black daughter, I did not believe it originally however, after my daughter now being at the school for two years, I realize she has been treated differently and she has been harassed because of the way she looks from teachers and the deans. They do not work with you, the school counselors don't get the schedules right, they don't return phone calls, they don't ensure your child is getting the right classes. It's almost like they don't even do work at this school, several are the teachers are extremely underqualified and they're just somebody's friend and they do not care what happens to your child. If your child forgets a lunch, they do not even allow you to leave the child's lunch. You are forced to buy a lunch from them. It just seems like all they care about is payments. The Catholic Church needs to stop funding them. This school is nothing but about taking your money and not doing right by your kids. They are not treating black kids right and they barely treat everybody else decent. I am so sorry that I even had my daughter come here. Now we are stuck here or she goes to multiple high schools, which is something I never wanted to do. Hopefully I can save another parent from this heartbreaking experience that I have been going through with this school. I am incredibly disappointed in the administration, the school and the Catholic practices that they instill. And I have no problem with religion, my oldest graduated from Mater dei and Bishop Amat is not even a 10th of what they are. I just live so far now but I wish I would have never went here. Hopefully this helps someone. Don't go here especially if you're black because they don't like us and harass all the black kids.
