They provide laptops, but what they don't do is provide good teachers and exact safety. Most of the teachers will hand you an assignment that you are unfamiliar with and then expect you to do it without even teaching you. Then, the school isn't so safe. People bring drugs and vapes to school and peer pressure people into doing it. I can add more negative things about this school, but that is all I'm going to add. On the bright side, they provide laptops and aren't crazy strict.

What a super nice school!…read more I participated in an hour-long "outreach" event this month; October 2021 at Enochs Highschool in Turlock, California. I have to this date, never encountered so many genuinely friendly and helpful young people. NAMI Stanislaus, The National Alliance on Mental Illness is the non-profit, grassroots organization I was volunteering for to get the word out about NAMI On-Campus, a NAMI supported program, student organizational group here at Enochs Highschool. This student-ran with adult supervision group provides outreach for the young students in supporting mental health, speaking about it, and stamping out the stigma which can accompany it for the young. The students got along and many were dressed up in 70's Disco Era clothing which looked great and authentic as at their lunch break, they mingled, visited our table full of informational stuff and complimentary items. All the teachers and school personnel I encountered were professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful. The campus and the landscaping were very well maintained and welcoming. This is a very well maintained & super clean school.

In the past two years they have had numerous principal and vice principals, all which do very little to solve any issues and concerns parent may have when it come to kids. I've had issues with yard duty trying to play a role of principal, picking on my 8 yr. old for his mohawk to the point that my son did not want to go to school. Left messages for the principal or vice principal to contact me with no avail. The gates to kinder garden section of the school are supposed to open by 1:25 and like always the yard duty is extremely late and rude. Last year one of the yard duty ladies called my 10 yr. old stupid and like always the school did nothing to repremend her actions.I have witness a teacher jerking a 5 yrs ol child and then trying to play it off when she noticed I witness this. Some teachers are great but they have some teachers that should have never gotten in the teaching industry to begin with. The only person that I am very content with is Yolanda, one of the secretaries. She tries her to best to be helpful and is always polite, unlike most of the staff in that school. Now I'm looking into trasferring my children to a different school in hopes that they have a better experience.

Second of all, the PE teacher, Ms. Kanaly or whatever her name is I do not care at all. Do I have a fat bone to pick with her. She recently called home to get my child in trouble saying that he was not dressed out for PE. When in reality, his butt crack was just showing slightly. And he is pretty chunky but that shouldn't be a reason to call home. Yesterday, they called AGAIN. This reason was because my child finished state testing early. Can you believe they got him in trouble because he finished early. My daughter works as a substitute paraprofessional, she came home to me after working at the school for the first time telling me how the school gets kids in trouble for silly reasons. If they keep calling home, I will call MCS and put a huge complaint. I am sick and tired of my kid getting in trouble there. Also, the so called PE teacher has parents phone numbers on hand to call whenever she wants because she thinks she has the upper hand. DO NOT and I can not stress this enough DO NOT tell me to deal with my child with his behind. If I hear that again, coming from a school staff employee I will not hesitate to call the superintendent.

If you try to advocate for your children be prepared for unfair bullying. This woman is on a power trip and wants you to kiss her ring. After meeting with the director of the Central Valley I walked away feeling great only to be knocked back down later that evening. Trust me, record ALL of your dealings with the principal because she will deny saying things and twist words. Be prepared to pay for therapy for all the mental anguish this woman will cause your children. With children dealing with an all time high of emotional issues this woman should surely consider a different career path. Hoping my review saves some parents heartache later.

PARENTS PLEASE READ THE FULL THING I PROMISE IT'S WORTH IT. I was a student at the shared campus of…read moreUCS and Vanguard for about 6 years and let me tell you right now you should NEVER send your kids here. This school, Vanguard, gave me more trauma then therapy can heal. I am writing this because of my experiences here during my 7th grade year. Eva Forest, Xavier Melendez, Carter something, and Melissa Welsch gave me an awful experience and I had to move schools. At first everything was fine, it was just me Eva, and Xavier. Xavier and I started "middle school dating" and it was going pretty good until the summer of 2023 when Eva had told me he never liked me in the first place and was too much of a coward to dump me. Keep in mind we're basically the weird kids in this school (name given by the other rude students at Vanguard) and it wasn't common for us to date, but when we did we were very into it. So when I found out he never liked me, the start of 7th grade I broke up with him. On discord, (where most of this happened) we got into a fight and he literally confessed he never liked me. I added him, our new friend Carter, Eva, and my older ADULT sister to the conversation because I felt like she matched our energy and would basically protect me from his bullying. Which she did a perfect job at might I add. I screenshotted every single time he berated me and put it on a group chat with my mother, and my sister. When I met Melissa she was very kind and quickly became my second best friend (First bff was Eva) so I added her to the discord group chat of the friend group. EVENTUALLY she started dating my ex, Xavier, red flag number one, and would hardly stand up for me in the group chat or anytime else when he would try and berate me. I was sick of it. One day I mistakenly wrote a letter saying I like Carter and not to show it to anyone, he showed it to XAVIER and Xavier showed it to Melissa. I knew something was off when I came into school the next morning and found Melissa crying, I ran up to her and asked what's wrong and she literally would not talk to me. At all. So I was very confused until Carter said "I showed Xavier for advice since he's dated you and I guess he showed Melissa" What I wrote was very simple but yet I could see how it could hurt someone. I wrote "the other friends mean nothing to me without you." Because there were times when I wanted to leave the friend group because of how they treated me and he talked me out of it. (I forgot to mention that Eva got GROUNDED for a LONG while and moved schools for some reason. I also forgot that they had 'kicked me out of the friend group' MULTIPLE TIMES, which is important later on) I did end up convincing Melissa it meant nothing and we made up like nothing happened. FLASH FORWARD to October, I was getting ready to have my birthday party at a roller rink because I had recently taken up liking it. So I invited all of my friends of course and they all agreed to come, the Tuesday before the party I was told by one of my friends who was also in the group, Gianna (she didn't have a phone or anything but she is a real sweetheart and I miss her more than anything) she came up to me and told me "The others are planning to kick you out of the friend group on your birthday party." And I freaked OUT. I had ENOUGH. I cursed them all out flipped them the bird and called my mother who was WELL aware of what was going on. I went home early and took three and a half weeks off school. During those three weeks Eva got her phone back and texted me on TikTok saying Melissa called her SOBBING because she said to me her grandfather had passed away and I said "At least I have a grandpa" WHICH NEVER HAPPENED AND IS NOW A RUNNING JOKE IN MY HOUSE. So I obviously denied it and ended up blocking her too. Also during those three weeks my mother texted the parents of all of those kids and explained what was going on and how I was in and out of the hospital for wanting to kill myself because I thought I was the problem. Now Carter's mom is an actual sweetheart and I love her so so so so so so so much. She GROUNDED Carter and made him write me a letter explaining how sorry he was and he was caught up in the drama and didn't know what side to pick. Carter used to be a really sweet kid before EVERYTHING that went down. I never went back there and went to Norman Glick Middle School and it is so much better. Plus the food isn't moldy and there aren't literal rats. So moral of the story is, don't send your kid to this school unless you're prepared for them to be in the hospital and pay for therapy because I'm still not over it. We went to the principal about it when it started because they said they have a no bullying policy, but when we talked about it with the principal and literally showed the screenshots of practical cyber bullying, they SHRUGGED THEIR SHOULDERS.
