I went to this high school, and both my kids have gone here. Class of 2004 here. The school seems…read moreto have had a lot of upgrades to it, as is expected after so many years since my attendance. The library is definitely a great addition considering the one we have was a third of the size. There have been quite a few other improvements as well, but the bones of the original school are still there. As far as the staff goes, it's a 50/50 toss up. You have some teachers that are doing well by their students, and some that are just petty. You have some counselors who seem to take an active interest in ensuring a child is on the right path for their future, and then you have the ones who are taking actions that affect your child's record. Discrimination seems to be commonplace with the staff. At least that's how my child and I have felt. I'm leaving a review because there is an issue with how things are ran. My child gets sick often because autoimmune issues run in the family. Every time he is sick I notify attendance. As of now, I have received multiple letters stating my child is chronically absent, and the whole blah blah about how it affects grades. My son's grades are excellent, because even when he is sick, he gets his work done. He is also in AP classes. His grades in fact are NOT suffering. First off, it is posted in each classroom that if you are sick, to stay home. But if you follow this guideline, you get threats in the mail about possible legal action. So their rules contradict themselves. Now, any time my son is sick, a doctor's note is required. Doctor's can't stand when a child is brought in every time they are sick, just for a note. Not everyone has the ability to get a same day appointment, and urgent care is another problem. I myself am disabled, so it's difficult just to get out and run around trying to find a place to get my child a doctor's note. Not only does the staff at this school discriminate, they don't uphold their own rules. If you want children to stay home when they are sick, then don't send letters home when they are excused. It seems as if they think I'm just keeping my child home just to skip. I could understand if my child was actually struggling. But he isn't. The grades prove it. The classes he is in and upholding, prove it. His ability to participate in extracurricular activities, prove it. What it comes down to is this, I'm not the only parent having this issue. So this is a problem with the institution, not the kids. Yes there are students that are skippers and who are failing, my child isn't one of them. To send these letters home and labeling him is affecting his record, which both he and I have a problem with. Especially considering he is going to be applying to some big colleges, required for his particular career field. Something needs to change, clearly. Even if it means all the parents and children being affected by this have to start having a voice, and bring it up at a board meeting. End the stigma with chronically ill people and stop discriminating against them. It's the schools job to make sure my child meets requirements and graduates. My son is doing his part, the school seems to be doing what they can to tarnish his name. I've made attempts to contact the principal in the past about matters, but never have I received a response. If your child will be attending this school, keep records of everything. It will help you in the long run.

Wow... Didn't know you could review school districts here... Well here it goes…read more.. With the current board members (pre-2010) the board sucked... Left the district in a financial mess. Made alot of poor decisions when things where "good" but left no room for error when the recession hit. On top of that there recent decision to segregate the civilian kids from the military kids based on a Base Commanders whim was not entirely thought out. Then tried to cover it up by saying civilian families pose a security risk... Then why are we still having to go thru the main gate a year after the board made the decision hmmm? I can't wait till 2011 so I can help vote out the remaining board members who got us into this situation... Gave an extra star because I hope we are on the road to recovery with the two new board members that where elected this year...

The program basically works like this: parents volunteer one day a week in the classroom, for approximately 3 hours. This gives teachers more one-on-one time with students, parents get to be hands on with their child's education, and it builds a community rarely seen in our busy world. The teachers are dedicated, going above and beyond what is required. We've had a volunteer choir when no music program was available through the district. We go on field trips, and fund raise so that EVERY student goes on the field trip with no worries about cost. I have the enviable position of knowing all the parents of my child's classmates as well as all his classmates. Students who are exceeding grade level work can go to the next grade level up for that particular subject, and aren't going into the classroom of a teacher they are unfamiliar with. Students requiring additional attention are able to receive it, by parent volunteers in the classroom AND their teacher. There are family gathering events, from Winter Concerts to potlucks. We have a "Dad's Day" where dads, grandpas, uncles, etc. come in and share something about their jobs or hobbies. Last year we had a Vallejo motorcycle police officer and the kids (and a few teachers!) got to sit on his bike, there was fishing, working on electronics, trying on military tactical gear and much more. There are special themed centers for holidays, a monthly Books & Bagels event for kindergarten & first grade, and there was talk of starting a robotics team this coming school year. Knowing all the benefits of this program as well as the opportunity to be in there, not just attending PTO meetings, had made all the difference for me. My child loves it and is successful in school, I love it, and I want more families to know this is an option for them.
