Their staff are actually…read more terrible at the job, Especially the nurses, they do not care if a child in their school is cough their lungs out and only care about the more popular/known children there, The teachers there also do not care for their students, even when they are feeling horrible like having a panic attack or crying their eyes out. Also the food there really is terrible, Like inedible. The ladies in the front office are always rude to their students as well which is unprofessional. Also i don't like how big this school is too.

Note to parents: If you would like your children to experience extreme social status elitism, send…read morethem here. At Clovis East, cliques and style seem to mean everything, and quite a few teachers turn a blind eye to the jocks' silly and sometimes violent antics just to keep them in football. The dress code in all Clovis Schools is ridiculous, long hair on guys is prohibited [lower than eyebrows, top of ears, or middle of neck], and all piercings are forbidden for guys and ears-only for girls. The teaching staff is pretty abysmal, not counting the few teachers that really do try. Among those select few are: The social science teacher Cameron Fong Science teacher Kristi Whittaker Zoology teacher Randy Ray Math teacher Jim Hurley Social Science teacher Adam Higgenbotham Photography teacher Kristi Bolin -I am probably forgetting some others, and these names are by no means in order. These teachers are the only reason the school gets a 3/5, and if they were not there, this would be a one out of five.

I've been volunteering here for three years, and their front desk staff and volunteers have always been fantastic. They are efficient and friendly, and are very cognizant of student safety.

Absolutely terrific small Catholic elementary and middle school…read more My nephew lives with me four months out of the year, and when he's here I enroll him in OLPH. English isn't his first language, and I don't want him in an enormous middle school where, because he's a newcomer and a "temporary" student, he'd probably be overlooked academically and socially. That, and I don't want him lose a week's worth of education to endure the battery of state- and federally-mandated tests that mean nothing to him and to me. The staff of OLPH are wonderful, from the principal to the teachers to the office staff. Enrolling him is a snap. The principal greets us by name on the first day. (How she remembers our names from year to year I'll never know.) Teachers are accommodating and easy to get hold of as a parent/guardian; moreover, they work with him before school and after school when he first arrives to bring him up to speed academically (he's enrolled from March-June). And because classes are really small, he also gets lots of individual attention during class time. My nephew spends time with me in California primarily to improve his English, and even though OLPH doesn't have a special curriculum for language-minority students - he's just one of two or three English as a Second Language kids in the whole school - I see a tremendous improvement in his English speaking, reading, and writing every year, and I'm sure that's due in large part to the individual attention and friendly atmosphere he experiences at OLPH. I'm also impressed with the discipline I see on campus and in classrooms. There are no children running amok; I've never seen a classroom where the teacher wasn't in 100% control of the situation; and the kids are polite to every adult they encounter. I've never been on a public middle school campus where kids will routinely smile and greet adults they don't know, and I've been in hundreds of public middle schools in my life. The folks at OLPH do a fantastic job. As a parent/guardian, I couldn't ask for better.

I've been part of this parish community for decades and have grown increasingly saddened and…read moretroubled by the direction of the school and church under current Priest Michael. The priest has brought an extreme conservative ideology to this role that is completely out of character with the tone and values this church has always represented -- none of his predecessors led this way. Policies have changed in ways that feel exclusionary and fear-based, and when families have raised concerns, they haven't been heard. The community that made this church and school special is being eroded. I'd encourage anyone considering this school to ask leadership directly about their policies on family inclusion before enrolling. And I'd encourage longtime parishioners to ask the same questions of the priest and the diocese. The answers may surprise you.

The biggest lie that UHS tells students and parents is that it gives you a leg up on college. The…read moretruth is that colleges have such a difficult time processing or understanding a UHS transcript that you will be lucky if any of the courses you take (which will be loaded with way more busy work than any actual college class is) wind up counting for credit. Anytime I ever tried to attend college after UHS I would have to spend weeks meeting with multiple counselors, having them have to talk back-and-forth between CSUFresno multiple times, and having to pay for the same transcripts several times because any other school gets so confused by the fact that it shows you attended Fresno state for too many years compared to the units you took for your timeframe and completion rates. (LITERALLY counts against you on paper.) In order to get any of your Scholastic records actually counted from UHS is a long, arduous process where you will have to fight like tooth and nail just to get any kind of record of the hours of torture that were spent filling out 7 page study guides. Also, colleges do not look favorably upon it as a school compared to any of the prominent Fresno or Clovis high schools, as it's widely considered amongst actual educators as a joke (tell a college counselor you attended UHS & watch their facial expression change into one of dread & sympathy.) Most of the students that went to UHS wound up being so burnt out from the environment of scholastic servitude and personal repression that they either didn't want to go to college right after high school or transferred out by their senior year to a normal high school. In addition to that, the social environment of the school is extremely hostile, very much an "us versus them" attitude where ultra-conservative religions & white privilege reigns, which the administrators ensure by requiring students to have already played a musical instrument. The school has been very successful at catering to their intended demographic. One of the least diverse schools I've ever seen, and definitely the most hostile to anyone that doesn't fit in their Utah milktoast mold.

The culture of the school is uplifting and nonjudgemental. My daughter is graduating this year and then starts her Psychology studies.

Pretty much everyday when you pick your child, you will hear a band playing or the beautiful choir serenading you on campus. If your child is musical in any capacity this is the school for you.

I was Helped quickly (getting the paperwork I needed to do campus visitation). The only thing that makes Clovis West tough for me is that there isn't really a centralized location for the kids during lunch time. As is, the students are spread out all across campus (with lots of secret nooks and crannies or young lovers to suck face). On a more serious note, though, I'd have to imagine it is a security issue. But hey, it's friendly and clean with a good sense of school spirit. Oh, also, it's hard to figure out where visitor parking in; so I park on the road (pretty far from the front office).
