So many students do bad behavior and get away with it easily. I wish there would be more fairness and justice in this school. I would recommend this school to people, but there are downpoints. There should be more rules regarding behavior...Not many rallies or school activities as they used to have. My kid ordered something from the book fair that was pretty expensive, and it turned out that they ran out and all they did was give a 3 dollar coupon... That was pretty cheap! Ok school

This school has some really sour teachers and principal. Mrs. Louch and Mr. Holskinect (however…read morethe hell you spell his name) who are probably two of the worse. Very impatient. Very over dramatic. They both have their favorites. They both lack integrity. Mrs Louch was telling me how poor my child was doing at a parent teacher meeting and after about 10 minutes of details and me being pretty shocked with this information she starts going through some paperwork then realizes she's telling me about a different child after she hands me a paper that I alert her is not my childs. Out of touch much? Mr. H (holskinect?) Has little man syndrome only matched by napoleon himself. Very very rude to children, including screaming at them like my mom used to scream at me. Unless you're a favorite then he's like your favorite uncle. This lil man can hold a grudge and throw a temper tantrum like nothing I've ever seen before. If your child is not one of his favorites he will go out of his way to make your child hate his class and school in general. He does not understand how to be the bigger man. Maybe, again, it's a stature thing? I mean, he acts like a 5th grader and is about as tall as one. The new principal is also very dramatic and lacks integrity. Hard to take her serious when she practices less than professional behavior. She seems to believe that if she thinks something is one way then it's a fact. She has a demeaning and condescending tone with children behind closed doors. She will literally belittle and shame children without facts then try and say she has a no bully policy. Maybe she should try not being a bully herself?? There are a few other teachers that don't really stand out and are kind of in the middle of the spectrum. And a couple I just don't know at all. No school sports programs. No anti bullying programs/ initiatives. Inconsistencies with the way they treat and handle students. School in general lacks school pride. Not many programs that other schools have added in recent years. Ie... Tech programs/ computer programs. The teachers below I have either directly had experienced with one of my children having them or they were teachers of close family friends children. Without these teachers/ staff this school would probably be closed down because these individuals are the foundation and the glue that hold this place together. These are the people who aren't burnt out and who actually care about your kids future. Round of applause!! Mrs. Malone Mrs Brandt Mrs, Billow Mrs Burke Mr Guerra (he acts like he doesn't care but he does) Mrs Rhodes Mrs Mcclung Mrs Raley Mrs Barnette Mrs Crystal (librarian / yard duty) Mrs Larson Mr Bartlet Mr Higgins And the two office assistants (sorry ladies I can't remember your names) They do have an after school bridges program for childcare that may be free if you qualify based on your income. There is an avid program which helps kids get ready for college. They even take field trips to local/ surrounding colleges/ universities. They also have teachers that set up some cool east coast trips for the older kids at the end of the year (a little pricey) The school does promote programs offered by citrus heights park and rec. I hope to see some vast improvements here for the sake of the surrounding community. If this new principal is up for the task I hope she acts on it but if not I hope she leaves and this school gets a long term principal at some point so the culture and attitudes can shift for the better.

Bullying and drug abuse and fighting and violence, sexual harassment happens here every single day,…read moreevery week, every month, every year. I've experienced and seen all of it, and when I mean experienced I mean that I've seen so much stuff happen that I have trauma from it and it's so sad. There's another review here that explains more but being a student there is like surviving a crack apocalypse. You try not to get affected or touched, you have to think hard and watch your back 24/7. Even some teachers and adults aren't trustworthy, but TRUST me when I tell you, don't say anything that you know that will get worse, I promise your life will turn into hell.

This is probably the worst school my daughter has been to yet. She got jumped by three girls and…read morethe school did not do a THING for her until i called the administrator, then they handled it, but this school is very poor with food, and clean ups, and their tardy policy is crazy. Bullying is also a very common thing here, i'd probably suggest sylvan instead of this place. This school is terrible, Dont send your kids here.

I attended the school about 18 years ago and boy or boy did I love it. Now just like your favorite…read morehidden coffee shop or sandwich shop - 'if you know you know' and that's probably why the school is so great - because there aren't tons of kids from outside areas trying to sneak in and instead it stays "local" and enjoyable with the same group of kids that reflects the benefits of a society focused on morals and integrity. Sure there's always a few of "those kids" with extra means and the fancy cars given to them by parents with no quality time to spend but the same can be found at any school the only difference here is that those kids tend not to cause trouble but rather are more interested in a "good time" and after all who isn't. Besides if you have integrity you won't be persuaded regardless of what school you attend. Thank your parents for that. Enough about all that, what's important is the positive attitude found with the staff and overall with the students. More so than most schools nearby. Front desk here is helpful , upper staff is helpful and kind. I came from another school to here at my junior year and I was very impressed with the abilities of the teachers to teach outside the standard outlines and expand our attention ie home Eco / fish and wildlife / English with siturude / video production!!! My favorite - all made you appreciate being in a seemingly top tier school. So I'd give this school experience an A+ coming from a shy kid to start and ending as a confident student at the end. Happy to take on the world. Ps if you're a parent of a kid like the review below mine - maybe stop having a victim mentality so your kids don't go around being a 1 star kind of person everywhere they go aka modern woke society - go woke go broke. Happy I didn't have that going on in my household growing up.
