Historically, WHS : A Great school in a Great community!…read more If there is any ring of truth to some of the criticisms on here on Yelp about WHS, hopefully the appropriate people in the appropriate positions of authority will investigate and remedy - or else, be replaced. It can't be easy being a teacher or administrator in these modern, challenging times, given all the horror stories of present day teens, and their lack of home 'schooling' /up-bringing / discipline/ child-rearing; nonetheless, if there is a community of folks who can perform a better job than most high schools in this nation, Walnut is such a community! What a great high school, though... in a terrific little city outside LA, within the San Gabriel Valley (with one of the lowest crime rates) - one of the top ranked public school districts in Southern California ("Best School Districts For Your Buck in Southern California"; see https://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/cities/best-school-districts-southern-california-2015/). Surrounded by and populated with "[q]uality housing" consisting of nice, clean homes part of a master-planned single family housing community, and a median household income at one of the top-earning percentiles in the country at $101,250 according to available Census data, WHS is almost somewhat idyllic WHS is significant part of Primary Education in Walnut, which is served by the prestigious Walnut Valley Unified School District (WVUSD), which, in turn, has been ranked by numerous sources to be one of the top public school districts in all of Southern California. In addition to Walnut and WHS, WVUSD also serves parts of the city of Diamond Bar. Schools located in and around Walnut include: C.J. Morris Elementary School Collegewood Elementary School Oswalt Academy (Formerly known as Oswalt Elementary School) (Rowland Unified School District) Vejar Elementary School Walnut Elementary School Westhoff Elementary School Suzanne Middle School Southlands Christian Schools South Pointe Middle School[46] Chaparral Middle School Ronald Hockwalt Academies (Formerly known as Del Paso High School)[47] Walnut High School Diamond Bar High School Portions of the western side of Walnut are also served by the Rowland Unified School District. The proof is in the puddin (as the saying goes); Graduates from WHS have gone on to continue their educations at the top levels of world recognized/ nationally ranked colleges and universities, and enjoyed careers across the spectrum of professions and occupations. Students (and their parents) should be grateful (and proud as well) of being part of the Mustang family!

Ms Linda from the being made me feel comfortable when I told her my daughter was shy and I was worried. She assured me that all kids are the same and we would see her fit right in. She was right.

It's very unprofessional to me it seems like she's been seating in that seat/position for decades. I'm sure there wasn't always a website and these questions I have are simple and happen around the same time every year. Again I came in two years ago to ask her response was the same. And I came last week to ask her response was the same. It's so frustrating to interact w a person like that and it makes my life as a parent trying to get clarification for enrollment harder.

Although it is true that the social environment isn't quite the best, and that the local area isn't…read morethe safest, any student coming in with a working head should be well off here. The extremities when it comes to danger and safety go seriously far left and right - you're the only one in charge of which route you take. My favorite concept of give-and-take applies when it comes to your well being and overall happiness. Most of the friends you make here are generally more 'loose' and very easy-going - no matter what grades they get. The low-achieving status of this school is the give; however, the everlasting strong friendships through mutually, open, or discrete hardships that are so often shared is the take. When it comes to the surrounding environment...haha. Of course it's not safe. People get shot, murdered, and raped in streets within nearby neighborhoods and it's never a surprise when the school goes on lockdown. Surprisingly enough, there have never been any kidnappings. Drivers can be shit too; it's a good thing the area is littered with cops and that the staff has good security. The only reason for someone to get killed is either by your own stupid mistake on the streets, or by being even stupider by voluntarily getting involved with gangs and by spending time with the wrong people. If you stray away from that, you're better than just fine because you can have under-the-influence peers who can be seriously nice and will inform you of where and when undesireable events could/will happen. That's why it's all up to your own decisions - just like any other school with spheres of influence. As for the teachers, the regulars (except for the regulars chemistry teacher) are mediocre and you'd rather not want to touch that. The honors/AP/IB teachers are exceptional, ironically enough. Our current honors chemistry teacher is potentially a fountain of intelligence, but holy fuck she spends an enormous amount of time in class just dicking around on facebook to occassionally share pictures, videos, and stories of her toddlers to the class, of which she can easily distract and temporarily convince. Nogales's honors department is extremely lucky to have their current members. The freshmen start out with the mother, Mr. Speirs (world history honors), and the father, Ms. Zelnick (english honors) of honors. The genders are switched due to their associated familial reputations with the honors kids (mother for girl/boy problems and father for life and serious problems). Our school's R.O.P. program offers a buttload of fun - especially the arts division. The time spent with these guys will inject you with the true definition of high school memories - no matter what kind of challenged memory you have. Most importantly, the fact that Nogales also has a bad reputation with academics, good scores on tests (especially AP) are sexy when it comes to colleges taking a gander at transcripts. Considering the amount of difficulty there is in the typical honors/IB pathway, it's still a bitch to score high. Doing so at Nogales, however, makes you stand out on an amazing scale when compared to getting high grades at an 'already high' achieving school, like Rowland, Diamond Bar, or Ayala. I'm always going to cherish how it all feels right the friends I made here. On one half of the entire spectrum of social diversity, there coexists many potheads and douchebag cholos ruining their futures. On the other side, the amount of differences between the innumerable amount of cliques is amazing. You can convince yourself that you've had every type of friend if/when you decide to stop looking at people the same way. I'm a junior now and everything is just fine for me here. Nogales deserves a lot more respect and praise than it actually gets based on external opinions that I often find to be some seriously biased bullshit or very uneducated guesses influenced by ear. So far, experiencing life through change with my old time guys and gals has been way more than I even thought you could ask for. Oh yeah, props to the best cross country and track teams!
