The things that attracted us to select Paraclete High School are the Safety record of the school with respect to students, the class sizes and the overall small school atmosphere.

She is prepared for college and even today tutors some of her college friends with Essay writing and other academics they struggle with. We will always be fans of Paraclete! R.

The admission employee - John explained to me the process, requirements, and fees.

She is not engaging but, rather more demeaning. Her lack of patience and professionalism is obvious. Some professional development classes would benefit her a lot! Now... the second negative feedback, quality of education is not there! In the ADN program, we are pretty much self teaching. Our instructors are not helpful and take pride in belittling students. They enjoy throwing their title around, as if that should motivate us! Dr. D (Peds) is hands down, the most egotistical individual there. He (she) I will address him as the biological person he is. He refuses to truly help students who struggle, then why teach?!This instructor engages in speaking negatively of staff in front of students, creating a toxic learning environment. The DON has been told this but, she doesn't care as long as her numbers are there. This program is new, and it shows! Please research other nursing programs with a reputable school, and instructors who know how to actually instruct! I'm stuck here because of the loan, I stupidly took out!!!

Let me start by saying the campus is very nice and clean! The admissions and financial aid staff,…read moreon the other hand, is pretty much useless. They are decently friendly, but it seems like no one at the desk is ever authorized to actually do anything aside from taking your info down and saying they'll reach out to you (no one ever reaches out, by the way, shocker). I've visited over 8-10 times in the last 5 months, and the "higher-ups" are always out of the office or in meetings--every single time. I applied in August 2025 and it took 2 weeks and 3 visits just for them to even find my application because it supposedly got "filed into spam." Most CCs take 48 hours MAX. Because of that "spam incident," my financial aid was severely delayed. Even though I'm a California native, they flagged me as a non-resident and said they needed my official high school transcripts to prove it. Contacting LAUSD for transcripts is a nightmare and takes 3-4 months, but the admissions supervisor gave me a verbal green light to take my Fall classes anyway. She promised they would backdate the waiver and clear the non-resident tuition once the transcripts arrived. I finally brought my transcripts in today, and now they're saying it's 50/50 if the dean will even honor that since the Fall semester is already over. To make it worse, the dean has been out for the last 2 days and they had no idea when she'd even be back. They refused to even schedule an in person appointment with her for me. I even offered to set it for this Friday or even weeks out and told them they could just call to cancel if she wasn't in, and they still said no. If someone is going to be out indefinitely, they need to bring in someone else to fill in and handle their responsibilities! I understand things and emergencies happen, but there is still business to be handled. Now they're saying they can guarantee Spring will be cleared, but I can't enroll in any classes until the $500 Fall balance is paid. What sense does that make?? Had I known this would happen, I never would've enrolled for Fall, but I trusted the supervisor's word. I'm beyond disappointed. The staff is friendly, but they need a new chain of command if the bosses are always gone. It shouldn't be this hard to better my future. I'm now pursuing enrollment at another college because I can't deal with this faulty system anymore. Advice to future students: save yourself the headache and explore other schools if you can. If you do happen to end up here DO NOT take verbal promises here. Get everything time-stamped and in writing or you'll end up stuck with a bill you weren't expecting.

The black and brown community is suffering horrendously! I am happy that everyone is hopping on…read moreboard to help support the Dreamers, and to keep their dream alive. They are some great, hardworking people who should be able to live freely. The black and brown community is just as great! And we just want to live, and not die. Going to College is some of our last stops. Having that opportunity to be somebody, is the difference between life and death, not America or Mexico. I would rather live somewhere then not have breath to live at all. The black and brown community at the Antelope Valley college is known to get the short end of the stick. And that's if we get a stick at all. Equity only applies at this college when it's beneficial. I've seen other communities with my own eyes get told yes in the past. But literally there were times I would want to make something happen for the Umoja community it's always "we'll see." Then strangled in at the last minute to where preparations are at that point just thrown together. (I will say that here recently there was a meeting that allowed us to voice our concerns, but still we don't want to just be heard, we need action) The A2mend community which is the black and brown men community, whose Conference is just up in the air again, after last year it just being canceled. We still haven't gotten answers, when the college collects funds from the higher ups, but then we are told they don't know where the funds are, or there are no funds. We matter to!! Black men have the highest rate of failure, jail, and even death. When they are the most important in the homes, they are also the most absent. Because instead of getting a fair equitable chance at life, they get over looked. Therefore they turn to the streets where, crime, jail, and death awaits. I work in the Student Equity department at Antelope Valley College. But there is no equity for the Black and Brown community there's only excuses. Upper management could do better, though I appreciate the hub managers and the VP's help when they can, it's not even bare minimum of what could be done. It starts on actually putting in funding to have a great staff of employees to help run the community. If you are of the black and brown community, I encourage you to find another community college, because there say they welcome all, those are just empty words. But after all, in order to get to the top, you need a step stool. We are looking for changes, not just a shoulder to cry on. This will be my last semester so AVC. When you talk systematic racism, the law, different policies, and government codes to the Board yet and still there has been no change. I thought the rumers of racism were just that, a rumer. But I go to school here, and I work here, and I experience it everyday. I am not just an upset student or worker like most reviews come from. I'm currently excelling in my major, in Psychology. And am currently still a student worker. Who used to LOVE her job. Now it's really hard showing up and watch all the Umoja students walking around lost, like a pup with no home, and no one is doing anything about it. I noticed today that some would mention the few things that they made happen, but refuse to address the many things that get over looked. Like the fact that student workers positions are filled with only 5% black. I'm lucky to be one. I will mention again, I used to love my job. But you stay to see all the inequalities, and wonder why won't anyone take action? I hope this reaches the right people to make changes. We deserve true equity. Take care.

Lancaster, CA Beauty…read moreschool in the Antelope Valley. I needed some work done on my hair. My SO suggested this place. I made an appointment and was able to get one the next day. I arrived early; there was plenty of free parking. Receptionist was courteous and ask what I was there for. Then the student came to get me. The student made comfortable by asking my name and introducing herself. She asked what I wanted done, showed me colors then she went to work. When it was done; I didn't get the color that I wanted and the haircut. I was a little bit disappointing but for the amount I paid, I guess that's what you get for. And the student needs to learn a lot as well even though she's almost finished. The place needs a lot of revamps, make it more welcoming and stylish especially the area where they wash the hair; uncomfortable and outdated. Still, if you're on a budget and don't mind being part of the learning process, this is a reasonable option.

Come to find out this wasn't her first time claiming to parents that there was no school in session when there was! Had I just taken her word for it her grades would have suffered even more than before because of missing assignments that would effect my daughter because of her negligence. The grading system is ridiculous, for example her science grade was compiled of 3 assignments, how does one only have 3 assignments for an entire semester...miss one assignment and that's 33% of one's grade. My daughter's self esteem was diminished because of this school, she went from an honor roll recipient to Communication with the teacher via email regarding assignments & progress was often filled with misspellings, random punctuation and leave my husband and I completely confused, if this "teacher" can't communicate with simple sentences that 2 educated adults can't understand, how is she able to teach & communicate to a class of over 30?? How is a child supposed to thrive here? We've since transferred our child to Gorman, her grades have went from C's & D's to all A's. Be careful parents.
