I believe it is one of the best schools in Santa Cruz County. They do give our grants for tuition scholarship as well. I strongly recommend taking a tour to see for yourself the magic at this school!

This is a great school. They put a lot of emphasis on the skills and needs of the individuals. It…read moreis pretty expensive, but they have financial aid available for those who qualify. Great teachers and a wonderful staff. They are in the process of moving locations. They were in a great old building right in downtown Santa Cruz, but they had an opportunity to get a great building a little further out of town and they took it. The facilities will be better for the kids, with access to Harvey West Park and an underground parking garage.

I'm trying to convince my girlfriend's little sister to go here, but it's hard to get her excited…read moreabout it. I tried teaching her the school cheer: S.A.N.T.A C.R.U.Z. HIGH S.A.N.T.A C.R.U.Z.

I went to this school and it ruined my life. Every day kids were throwing shit, smoking cigarettes,…read moreand hitting one another. The classes were large. The school was moldy and smelled bad. Because the teachers were burnt out and unable to actually monitor students the kids would regularly get in fights and would not be punished. One time a student hit me in the face and when I told a teacher both of us were suspended so functionally speaking I got punished for being punched in the face. Do you want your kid to be suspended for getting punched in the face? If so then send them to this school. It's just a place for poor and negligent parents to store their kids while they work because they don't care about what happens to them as long as the children are out of sight and not bothering them. So in review: it's an idiot factory where future criminals will beat your kids and get away with it. You'd be doing your kids a favor if, instead of enrolling them in this school, you withdrew them and locked them in a chest with a box of cereal while you're at work. Mission hill: worse than locking your kids in a box because, if you lock them in a box, at least crack babies won't hit them in the face.

Obviously the best high school in Santa Cruz....but that's not saying a lot…read more Though some of the teachers suck a whole lotta donkey (but find me a school that doesn't), you can't beat everything else. The new campus is nice (besides the stairs...), the art classes are fun (holla at Graphic Arts), the MPR is...........useful (but not really...) and we put on great musicals, plays, choir recitals, band performances and dance company performances. In the sports department we're............well...we're in the paper a lot. So...take that. Many would say that we suck when it comes to offering AP classes and advanced electives. And they'd be exactly right. For shame Harbor.

For example, they are singing and dancing and laughing with you then all of the sudden they start crying or screaming at you. I think alot of the staff have some kind of anger issues or anxiety because they seem to always be uncomfortable around children and definitely seem intimidated by their students.

The teachers and staff are professional, friendly and exude Christian love.
