Many athletes worked hard but were overlooked unless they were one of the coach's clear favorites. Even basic encouragement, like a simple "good job" was not given to everyone. Instead, praise was reserved for a select few, leaving others feeling unvalued despite their efforts. When I respectfully addressed this even as an alum, I was met with a hostile response and completely shut out. I had hoped for reflection and respect, but instead received defensiveness and dismissal. This is not the example of leadership or character that a youth program should be built upon. A coach who discourages hard-working athletes, fails to recognize everyone equally, and responds to concerns with hostility should not be in a position of guiding young people. Leadership should inspire, not divide. At one meet, after a mile time trial where I struggled badly and was visibly upset, I heard him say, "I am so proud of you guys." I asked, "Are you sure about that?" because it felt insincere given the lack of encouragement many of us experienced. In a race in Hawaii, while I was in tears and trying to reach my parents, I was told, "I don't care, cheer on your teammates please." That moment made it clear how little empathy and support was being offered to athletes who were not among his favorites. Please see attached for records

GO PANTHERS! Growing…read moreup in Palos Verdes is an experience all in its own. All the pricey oversized homes, luxury sedans and SUVs, and designer labels are enough to blind a person, but I'm not complaining. I'm not one of those people that wants to go back and re-live high school by any means... believe me, four years were enough. But I did have some of the best teachers here, and after switching counselors, some great help with all that stressful college business. There was a club for any and all interests that a living person could have, a sport team for virtually every sport in existence, and national awards and recognitions enough to put other high schools to shame. I really don't have any college pride, but I'm proud to be a PVPHS alumni.

All the bad reviews are true about staff, they simply don't care and some are unqualified to be a…read moreteacher due to attitude. Listen teachers! not all who get a teaching credential should teach. I know you like the hours, vacation, time and pay raises you keep getting but for once think - do I have a gift for teaching and a love for kids? If you're thinking of sports go somewhere else. Coaches have conflicting interest it's ; pay to play. Too many episodes and problems to list. Send your kid somewhere else. As for bad behavior by parents we are not all like that, sorry for your experience and it won't be fixed because staff doesn't care AT ALL. Complaints no matter what they are fall on deaf ears and backfire instead of improve at that school/district.

GREAT SCHOOL. This school is very, very well funded by the district. As a student from this school,…read moreI believe that the elective classes they offer are AMAZING. I started to peruse my dream of a Photographer/Videographer at one of the classes offered. All core classes are very well organized and equipped with GREAT teachers, in most cases. Talking about teachers, not ALL of them are the best. I went through some teachers, not pointing names out, who were just... so bad that they deserve to get fired. There were 2 of them. That is a pretty low amount! One of them got fired this year, so there is only one more to go. That one teacher who is still left has a very low temper. He WILL curse out students outside. Looking at the bright side, this school's staff is mostly all nice. Counselors are great, principals are VERY understanding. I recently got in a little trouble for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I will not go too deep into it, but I ended up getting suspended for a stupid reason. But now that I look back to it, I think he did the right choice. The lunch area is pretty convenient. Tabled are offered to every student, a snack bar is available, and they serve not the best lunches, but they are still acceptable. The lower fields are all available to students during break. Sports equipment is leased to students. Overall, I think this is the best choice of Intermediate school in Palos Verdes over Miralest and PVIS.

This review is about the REDONDO UNION AQUATIC CENTER SWIMMING POOL and both the Public Pool Access and the Summer Swimming Lessons as well as the lead contact, RAMONA CARISTO the Aquatic Center Coordinator. This is located on the campus of Redondo Union High School. RAMONA is such a wonderful person. Very polite, helpful and professional. We've known her for the many years we've enrolled in the Summer Swimming Lessons for Kids. The staff, during the Summer, I suspect and assume are qualified lifeguard caliber student employees. They've all been very good with the children/kids they teach as student swimmers. The front gate staff are always very welcoming and cheerful. It's an overall great environment that Ramona has created for the Aquatic Center. Weekend swimming, when open to the public is well organized. The clientele (customer) patron swimmers have been respectful and polite using the facilities, such as sharing lanes. Parking can be both easy and challenging depending on whatever activities are going on on-campus, whether sports games, rally/gatherings or anything else. It's a family friendly environment.

We have been treated like family over the years - our children feel safe and known by their teachers and any questions or requests to the administration or teachers have been promptly and thoughtfully addressed. Our oldest child and middle school graduate, who now attends public high school, feels like she was well prepared academically and personally by teachers who challenged her to think critically and by expectations to be kind and respectful. There is obviously no perfect school and we are grateful to have found a school that aligns with our values!

I would highly recommend RHCDS to any parent in the South Bay…read more The admin and teachers are dedicated and passionate about their students and their roles as educators. They instill the importance of independence and accountability at an early age. I have three very different students attending RHCDS and each one is thriving in their own way - a true testament to the school. The teachers are approachable and accessible and operate with a purpose to inspire and push students while also maintaining a fun and warm atmosphere. My children feel respected, comfortable and confident in the classroom which is a culture that cultivates growth across all facets of the child's development.

We are truly blessed to have found such a safe, loving environment for our children. The campus is beautiful and the equipment is new. Kids can really be just kids. They run around and play. We love watching our kids actually moving their bodies and working out. They plead to go to afterschool camp every day. The class sizes are amazing. There are assistant teachers in each classroom. If a student needs more assistance they can easily get it, instead of struggling alone. Dr. Chun is an amazing Principal and runs the school like a well oiled machine. The character values they instill Caring Attitude Respect Gratitude Perseverance Self Control are amazing. I wish they had a high school too.

This school is probably best for people who have artistic children (think of theater or drama kids)…read moreor kids who have special needs (developmental impediments which require them to need an aide physically with them or need smaller group sizes). This school does not focus on academic rigor. There is no homework or grades until 4th grade. The amount of regression in education we witnessed was sad, anger inducing, and extremely upsetting. We wasted a year of tuition and our child's time and would NEVER recommend this school for children who are not special needs or have other socialization issues.
