In my opinion this is the best school in the entire city. There are many reasons for this, which I…read morewill gladly elaborate: Education is the most important thing. Teachers here are not interested in making friends with students (although it does happen) Their only goal is to teach students and make them smarter. Sports are a serious business here. Not only do they care about stimulating the mind, they also are huge believers in motivating and nourishing the body. Spirituality, although I am not a religious person (at all...) it never bothered me while I was here, they teach in a subtle and not in a "in-your-face" type of way. They had a more practical approach to it. They were really demanding, and wouldn't accept anything less than excellence from their students. If someone was falling behind, they did a good job at reaching out and helping out the student in any way needed. Good education, good people, good establishment.

Tengo sentimientos mixtos acerca del Instituto Progreso. Por un lado estudie aquí toda mi primaria…read morey toda mi preparatoria, e hice amistades que me han durado toda la vida... y por el otro la mayoría de mis maestros fueron irrespetuosos y poco profesionales. Solamente tuve muy pocos maestros que realmente se interesaban por la educación y la superación de los estudiantes, y con ellos estoy eternamente agradecida. Lamentablemente la gran mayoría de los otros profesores, sobre todo en la preparatoria fueron de lo peor. Abusaban de la inocencia de estudiantes, aceptaban regalos a cambio de calificaciones, tenían sus estudiantes favoritos y la directora en esos tiempos era la persona mas corrupta y extremista con la que he lidiado. He escuchado de diferentes personas que ha habido un cambio en la facultad de la escuela, pero que los problemas persisten. En lo personal nunca recomendaría esta institución a nadie por estos problemas. Tuve la buena fortuna de estudiar en otro colegio que afortunadamente me dio una perspectiva diferente y que se enfocaba mas en estudios de ciencia en lugar de religión.

Attending a pee wee football game I didn't get a close look at the main campus, but the sports…read morefacilities look top notch. The football stadium was great. Synthetic turf with the team logo proudly on display is ready for the school to become a local powerhouse or at least look good when or if that day comes. Clean with well kept grounds and modern construction. It was a Saturday, so it was unclear if the minimal wear and tear was from lack of use. Not a whole lot of residential units close by though. In all likelihood the school was built in anticipation of the population spike with the fervent development of the South Bay. I'm sure the Sweetwater Union didn't plan for the housing industry to hit a brick wall, but as as local taxpayer, of course, I'm thrilled to provide funding. Whether it's used or not. Go Cougars!
