My son was a typical, well adjusted middle school student with mostly A's. High school started…read morewell enough. But then he ended up needing surgery around October with a long recovery time . After missing 3-4 mos of school he felt lost both academically and socially and didn't want to go to school. The public school would not consider allowing him to repeat the grade. Private schools in our area are impacted and competitive to even get into. I was at a loss until my aunt in Monterey told me about Trinity Christian High School. From the first phone call explaining our situation, to shadow day, to interview, and starting a new school around April - it was all amazing and beyond my expectation. Most importantly my son snapped out of his depressed mood after one shadow day and has been going to school happily for the past year.

My second of three children is about to graduate from MHS. My oldest, is now in his second year of…read morecollege and was more than adequately prepared for college life and academic rigor. MHS is the perfect balance of size and offerings in terms of sports, academics, and extra curricular activities. Now as a parent and student you do have to do your part and choose to be engaged. If you do that, success in high school and beyond is a certainty. Thanks to the caring and driven administration, teachers and staff, MHS is up there with all the high schools in the area, both public and private.

Monterey High School is ranked 691st within California. Students have the opportunity to take…read moreAdvanced Placement® coursework and exams. The AP® participation rate at Monterey High School is 27%. As a family native to Monterey we have encountered Board members and Mr Crawford and staff not listening to students and not doing their jobs for the betterment of all students. Their is bias to put certain students that are in the academies in AP classes and deny others. Violence in classes is kept secret and financial statements are questionable. Public schools need to vet teachers for experience .

This business is riddled with Monterey High School alumin and or former graduates. Sadly, I knew…read morethat I was the odd ball, and felt it because I'm not a Monterey High School graduate. They rage, and invade individuals personal life, personal social media, Instagram, Facebook etc. and use everything against them once an unlike presents. Mostly former Monterey High staff!

This school and MPUSD as a whole is a disappointment. They have many great teachers and staff but…read morethey are overwhelmed with disrespectful students . The schools are dilapidated and programs are severely lacking. Numbers don't lie. Test scores are abysmal and the district isn't willing to change their approach. Walter Colton isn't safe. Lots of racist comments and fights. The " difficult " students are allowed to act however they want and the district sweeps it under the rug. If you have any exceptions or standards with academics , cleanliness or behavior avoid this District as a whole. MPUSD is only interested in saying they are a diverse school and getting extra Title one money from the state. I grew up in this district and can't believe how far they have fallen.

Update.... They still scream all day every day. Today I called and complained, so did my neighbor…read more It's terrible. They are 5th- 8th graders. You hear the same voices screaming like banshees. How is this preparing them for high school? Or the real world? Last week I heard the PE teacher say, and I quote "I am sick of this crap" in reference to students not wearing the correct shoes for PE. Is that the way teachers talk to students now? My teachers never spoke to me that way and I went to public school. Guess you can pay big bucks for your kid to learn how to behave like an animal, instead of a human being.

I don't know how the upper campus is but the lower campus "administratively speaking it is…read moreterrible". 1.- The Principal at the lower campus doesn't do anything if your child is being bullied. And if you're expecting them do something about discipline "forget". 2.- Some of the children there have a BAD vocabulary "that will scares you". As I say some, not all of them. 3.- If you are expecting the principal communicate with you about how they are addressing the bullying problem that your child is suffering there "just forget it". Because she just will keeps sending you absurd justification and nothing more. 4.- The way she TREATS the parents is "despotic". The attention she offers is bad and you can tell when you talk to her that she is not paying attention to you.
