I attended the school when it was mainly just the large two-story building built in the 1900s…read more... It was big and it was cold but it was cool! I was in the last class that was actually able to call it a junior high because the next year they condemned the main building and turned it into a middle school.... Didn't get a junior prom nor Junior high graduation.... The bureaucracy said that it would make us appreciate high School prom and graduations even more. And yeah I did graduate high school at Arlington high but I didn't get to go to the prom because nobody asked me. And you know what I never attended one of the high school reunions either!

Extremely bad school, my son went to school for just 1 day and came home crying because kids were…read morecalling him "dumb white boy" saying he wasn't going to make any friends since he was new and physically pushing him to hurt him. I didn't send him back after because bullying isn't okay no matter what. All they did was have him write a statement but heard nothing after that. I talked to a few of my neighbors and they said none of their kids go there because it's such a bad school.

This school has had such a positive impact on my children's mental health. Especially after…read moreattending a public school nearby with a lot of issues regarding incompetent staff and bullying. They are happy and genuinely cared for here. My son used to cry everyday before public school begging me not to go. Since coming here he has no issues and is excited about going everyday. Principal and staff are very supportive and respectful to children and parents.

The principal lacks the temperament and professional skills necessary to lead a school community…read more She avoids parent engagement, displays a "mean-girl" demeanor, and consistently shows a lack of empathy. Her presence does not reflect that of a caring educator or a capable leader. In contrast, the office manager and counselor have a far stronger and more positive presence on campus. I have yet to meet a parent who feels positively about the principal, which is concerning. The communication issues families experience stem directly from the culture she has created. She appears disengaged and uninformed, and her leadership style is more suited to an isolated administrative role than a school environment. While the teachers themselves appear decent, her leadership is steering the school in the wrong direction. Being a new school with newer teachers, the campus needs strong, stable guidance... not the disorganization and disconnect that currently exist. I genuinely believe a new principal would dramatically improve the school climate. Unfortunately, that change does not appear to be on the horizon. Given the circumstances, I would recommend families consider a more established school until stronger leadership is in place.

From someone who went to school in orange county, move out of Riverside. The education here is…read morelower than 8th grade education. The teachers take so many shortcuts and their lazy. Probably because they get paid so much that they don't even care. La sierra is a joke and they're hella poor. And ofc a white staff had to be racist to asians. gotta love riverside... If you fail algebra 1 and you get nicolas as a teacher, i'd switch classes. He doesn't not know what he's doing and the only reason i passed that class is remembering what i did in 8th grade. Not including the spanish teachers. They the only ones i actually learn from.

Please make sure that your student here sees the college counselor regularly (sometimes they're not…read morealways correct) and also go see a counselor at the future 4 year college to make sure they are taking the correct courses for their major. Your kiddo may say I'm young and I'm not sure what major but I suggest they choose a major, follow the path and if they want to change later then switch. Keep in mind that some majors do not have any lower division GE courses at Norco College and your student may be torturing themselves through college classes that are not needed.
