My son had a 10th grade english teacher at Rowland High school. She was very unprofessional and…read morevery dishonest. Very discriminatory towards students based upon racial ethnicity. Doesn't take grading seriously and wastes half the period talking about her personal life, very unprofessional for an educator. Her own curriculum fails to correlate with major assignments she gives out to students. These assignments can majorly impact a students grade for better or worse, and due to her inconsistency in teaching, it only really got worse for my son. Inconsistency in teaching also shows in her grading. There is no rubric for essays and major assignments, leaving many students confused and puzzled when given "make or break" assignments. Tends to hold uprofessional grudges against students in her classroom.

This is more than just a school it's become our second home our extended family. My kids have been…read morehere Pk -12 currently (3rd,8th,SENIOR )and one "future eagle" the nurturing caring environment this school has provided for my family is what keeps us here! Thank you SCS Family!!

Most of the good reviews here are from the school staff or people who are associated with the…read moreschool or their church. Students will be treated and graded differently based on parents' donations and involvement with the school or church. Teachers in this school do not hold any credentials or credentialed teaching permits in K12 that public school districts require. This is shocking because parents pay tons of $ for "private school," but someone without credentials teaches them. They hire some parents as teachers. The facility is so small that kids need to go to another school's gym or tracks. There are no arts or sport extra curriculums.

My experience at this school was close to terrible. The administration/ office people are super…read moreunsupportive. I remember telling the school COUNSELOR that I was getting bullied. Her response is forever imprinted in my memory. She told me I was overreacting. What kind of adult has that type of reaction to a CHILD telling them that they were getting mistreated. On top of that, they are quick to point fingers, accuse students for being "bad", and not look into the students' situation at home. I was going through the roughest period of my life and they made it a thousand times worse. I hope no child has to go through that. Miramontes, Villa, Canales, and Schreiber. I hope you guys do the world a favor and retire.

Be prepared if you send your child to Alvarado. It's not all bad. The administration tries, but…read morethere's just too many students and not enough support. This school can get pretty scary and unsafe. Dropping off in the morning is a nightmare. Leave early and be prepared to wait. Major traffic and unsafe driving. Daily fights occur between both boys and girls. Smoking, vaping, alcohol and drugs are a common place at Alvarado Intermediate School. Not much justice for the victims. No substantial consequences for the criminals. Bullying is a part of the culture. Rarely do the offenders receive more than a, "talking to" for their offences. Pay the money and go to a private school or opt to Ybarra or Oswalt. You won't regret it.

Class of 2025 student here (Junior as of writing this review)…read more Academics are rigorous but fair. The teacher quality is varied, but most teachers (I took mostly AP and Honors) are fair and motivated. Student organizations (clubs, teams, ASB) vary, some being well organized, and some being poorly organized (it's just what happens when you put students in charge of something). School events are nice too, HOCO and Prom are overly expensive though (Rowland has their homecoming for ONLY $20, ours was ~$80) The staff are helpful, I went to the office 15+ times in Sophomore year because my mom sent me to school with the flu, and the cold. The office administration were understanding and dealt with all situations well. Counselors are helpful. Fights rarely break out. School is a mix between two majority races - Hispanic and Asian. Security does their job well, and the school has procedures in case of emergency. In the 2022-23 school year, a false shooter call forced the school to lockdown procedures. This situation was rapidly taken care of. Not gonna lie, our sports teams aren't the best (except Badminton, they're really good). The STEM pathways in the school are great. School lunch improved drastically in the last few years (it's also free). Would give a 5 star but our campus isn't in optimal shape. Restrooms smell terrible. The bottom floor boys restroom had its stall door stolen as a result of the "devious lick" trend in 2021. The boys restroom up stairs always smells like weed and raspberries (vapes).

Absolutely Horrid, the new principal has no real goals that actively benefit the entire school…read more He'd rather support "popular" sports that don't need any extra funding and ignore problems of other sports. Why would you continuously give funding to a team that doesn't need it. Multiple jerseys and helmets don't make a team better. Focus on spending the funds on making the school environment better.
