I am only giving this high school based on MY personal experience…read more I came to this high school my Senior year (my parents moved cities during my last year of high school). Needless to say didn't think much of the change until the school year actually started. I didn't think much of the school but quickly realized that the office staff wasn't really nice, neither was the library staff. Hate the vice principil and main principal (always thought he was the IN thing). The class selections weren't that great (but what can I expect for a public school). But I managed to get into the classes that I wanted , so that was a good thing. The lockers were dirty and locked inside a cage next to the locker rooms, which were also dirty. Hated how the lockers were outside. The gym and the cafeteria were about the only cleanest buildings in the whole school. My AP English class had occasional ants in because there was a culinary classroom next door (which obviously didn't do a very good job of cleaning after class), My Math class had old computers which more often than not didn't work and were so outdated that we could easily find a proxy to get onto social networking sites during class (which at the time was cool). lol The campus grounds itself had occasional trash (like normal schools), running track was always clean and off limits (unless you were with a coach or teacher), and bathrooms were always locked (you were lucky if you found one unlocked. During the summer AC was awesome but during the winter it was freezing! The school itself doesn't have a swimming pool (it is located in the community center across the street from the school), the high school side had plenty of parking (but not on the 1st floor), the 1st floor was for seniors to park and the 2nd floor was for Juniors to park (which few had cars). At the end of my school year, I managed to like the school, made good friends and had my favorite teachers. NOT my favorite school. Miss my old high school and I would have much rather stayed and graduated with my class. Oh and orientation and traffic in the mornings and after school are horrible. Get there early to get on time to class and to find parking (those students who have cars), also forgot to mention, be prepared to ALWAYS wear your high school lanyard around your neck. That by far was the most annoying,

In my experience of 20 years teaching, when the prep teacher comes, the regular classroom teacher…read moregoes away to create lesson plans. However, at Riverside, the teachers (instead of doing their job to create lesson plans, which is what they were supposed to be doing) choose to monitor the prep teacher and curriculum. What I've observed at Riverside is that the teachers lack classroom management skills, and instead, yell and intimidate. They are not teachers. They are bullies. They bully students and teach bullying as a role model. I actually saw Ms Hayworth say, "because you are bad, I will not teach." I heard a teacher say to the class, "You embarrass me." Ms Benda also ostracized a boy by making him sit apart from the rest of the class. This student told me "I want to kill myself." When it was reported, the teachers and principal said, 'he just wants attention." Ms Benda said, "I could choke you!" to a teacher who had told her class they would get out early before she had the chance to tell them. If you are a parent, beware of teachers Benda, Wong, and Hayworth. If your child has one of these for a teacher, you may want to sit in or help out to see how they function.

I can't say enough amazing things about Prospect Sierra. Our family feels incredibly grateful to…read morehave found this school and be a part of this wonderful community. Prospect Sierra is a truly exceptional elementary school (K-4 at lower and 5-8 at upper) that fosters a welcoming and vibrant community where diversity is celebrated both among students and faculty. There is a strong emphasis on emotional intelligence woven throughout their curriculum which feels balanced with their focus on academics. The school provides a warm and nurturing environment for holistic development and has the support of learning specialists, a wonderful school psychologist, etc. The faculty is beyond exceptional and in my opinion what sets Prospect Sierra apart. The teachers and administration are all dedicated educators that embody PS's commitment to leading with respect and joy and creating an environment that fosters a love for learning. My daughter is genuinely excited and happy to go to school every day! Prospect Sierra has a very well-rounded enrichment curriculum that creates a rich and engaging learning experience. Specialty classes include drama, music, art, Co-Lab, and Spanish to name a few. With two teachers in each classroom we certainly feel the personalized attention and extra support. The afterschool program is also wonderful and my daughter has enjoyed participating in the afterschool program classes such as cooking, legos, chess, judo, etc.! The campus and the physical spaces including the classrooms and enrichment rooms are beautiful. The school does an exceptional job with communicating with the parents (via emails, a fabulous newsletter, etc) and there are plenty of opportunities for families to get involved (as much or as little as they want to!) including volunteering in the specialty classes, driving for field trips or leading a school committee. The school is also extremely committed to diversity which is woven throughout the curriculum. As part of the professional development, they recently sent a large number of the faculty to a POCC conference, there are family cohorts and racial cohorts for students including a Black, AAPI, LatinX, Pride and Swana cohort and lots of cultural celebrations throughout the year. Beyond 5 stars! We have had the best experience and pinch ourselves everyday that PS is a part of our family and our child's development.

The school culture, which has become our home culture, is one of overt and active kindness.
