Its a shame because this school was once a really good school since our older children attended here. Our kiddo has been in WCUSD as well like the other parents mentioned on here but it's unfortunate that we will possibly need to look for another school or even considering sending our kiddo to a private school.

We really enjoyed it! It's great to see family, peers, and teachers come to watch and support them.

As my first school year at south hills academy nears its end... I can say I am impressed at the…read moreeducation my 4 year old kindergartener received in her first year of school. I will say I have had my complaints about and with the school, but now with "head of school" gone I feel comfortable sending my child back next year. The previous "head of school" (Mr. Emmanuel Lacoste) seemed like a dictator and I was unsure about sending my daughter there next year. However, he recently abruptly resigned and I have noticed the administration moving towards positive change. The majority of the staff are very nice and always saying hello. I have had my complaints with the school regarding communication which have been addressed appropriately. The school now has provided better communication and they seem more willing to hear concerns. Previously I emailed the head of school and never received a response. I called many times and spoke to the head of school one time and asked to meet with him. He assured me I could walk into his office anytime. The next day I went to try to meet with him, and he was unable to meet with me. I believe the school is headed in a positive direction and I plan to send both of my daughters there in the future. To those reading these reviews... there are evident fake reviews by people who find it necessary to make fake accounts and try to hide behind a negative review. I'd urge you to ask a parent about their experience rather than just read a review from someone who may be a previous parent or ex employee.

First time enrolling both of my kids for summer school. This week is their third week. Everything…read moredone through google form. I attempted to contact them multiple times through phone calls/ emails, with no answers/ replied. If I showed up in person, sometimes someone buzzed me in to the office, sometimes no one in the office and I had to try another time. Good thing my kids already older and they can communicate things with me. But I will not consider this school for regular attendance based on gap of communication among staff, educators and parents. It feels that parents concerns are not appreciated. The issue that I had was class changes, updating pick up person form. Had to do it multiple times and still not updated. So if you enroll your kids in summer school, pick your classes wisely. My daughter accidentally picked 3 science classes back to back and the school did not make any attempt to help us to change it until the next two days. One of this science class, my daughter was the only student there. For third week of summer school, my daughter chose spanish class as her last class of the day, and she was enrolled to something else. ---update 7/22/26 in response to South Hills Business Manager--- Thank you for your response. I appreciate your feedback. However, I would like to understand how South Hills Academy ensures that parents are able to effectively communicate their concerns with the Summer School division when emails go unanswered, phone calls are not returned, and, upon visiting the front office in person, I was instructed to "just email the director." I followed the process your staff directed me to follow by emailing the director, yet I did not receive any response or acknowledgment from South Hills Academy. As a parent, this leaves me without a clear avenue to address legitimate concerns. I would appreciate your clarification on how parents are expected to communicate when the established channels are unresponsive. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.

I have the privilege of presenting at Career day every year at this school. It is remarkable that…read morethey have such a well organized and wonderful career day for their student students. I certainly didn't have one like this when I was in middle school. I hope it inspires 6th through 8th graders to dream big and start thinking about what they are passionate about and start working hard towards those possible futures. Sierra Vista has two leadership tracks for students who are interested: one is ASB which is mostly in charge of rallies and school functions and the other is WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) which is designed to have 7th and 8th graders orient and welcome new students including 6ty graders. Both sets of leadership students had important roles on today's career day. The WEB students designed all the Peanuts and Snoopy themed decorations of the event and gave a speech to welcome the presenters to Career Day. The ASB students guided the presenters to the Professional Development room next to the school library as well as to their respective classrooms. These leadership students were very polite, respectful, and did an excellent job representing their school and making the presenters such as myself feel welcome and glad to participate. Well done, Sierra Vista, to the whole team that made today happen! Thank you to the guidance counselors for overseeing and planning the day and to the PTA for providing the breakfast and lunch!! I look forward to next year!

Guys, these are all outdated. Just look at them, we're almost in 2026. Anyway, this school is nice…read more Not as bad now as it was back then. Honestly, I don't know. I wasn't enrolled here back then. This school is pretty nice. They've got a great band program and a nice principal. There are many events for students, lots of electives to choose from, and sometimes they have field trips. Most of the teachers I have are extremely nice (honors), but many of my friends aren't in honors, and they say their teachers are really mean. School's easy and it's going pretty well. One bad thing is that the classrooms aren't in the correct order--like classroom 26 is next to the field, and class 27 is on the other side of the school. This makes going to classes annoying because they're far away. Lunch is awesome, though. No phones on campus, it isn't strict, but the school lowkey looks broke. (It isn't, school just looks ugly.) And don't worry, no bullying anymore. People are pretty nice... until you see the pick me's and the edgars that sag and think their tuff. Everything else is fine.

Rebecca Unver is the worst teacher , she is rude , horrible to the kids , and an unhappy miserable person: you can tell by how she speaks. A lot of children including my son told me that she throws their homework on the floor and makes them pick it up like it's trash . She's the most unfit person to be a teacher and I'm wondering everyday why she's still there. She also likes to bully her class and say mean things to them , I have a long list of evidence and have met with the principal regarding her behavior but I needed to post this and warn other parents , I wouldn't want their child to go through what these kids have gone through.

In terms of academics, EHS is unparalleled by West Covina, South Hills, Sierra Vista, etc. It is true that our various sports programs are lacking; we still don't have a football team, for example. Our Softball Teams and Swim teams are decent enough though. The IB program, which means International Baccalaureate, is a rigorous program that is above even what AP has, because these are internationally held standards. Getting a full diploma is challenging, but the rewards are immense. The students here are just nice people. Edgewood had a grand total of one fight in the past year, and even that fight was a minor scuffle compared to what West Covina has. There aren't any major cliques, and all students get along with each other. There are different kinds of people who hang out with each other of course, but it isn't as set in stone and there isn't any bad blood between people. Come and see for yourself.

Came pretty last minute and was surprised that parking wasn't that hard to find. We found a spot a few blocks down and although we didn't sit in the school itself since it was already crowded and i believed they were charging to get it........ but don't cry for us kids cuz my boyfriend and found a sweet spot right across the street over by the gas station on the grassy knoll! Just about ready for the show when the water sprinklers came on and there was a mad dash of everyone running! Lol luckily we didn't get wet and after everyone had a good laugh we all enjoyed the rest of the show which was spectacular! Great fireworks and the police had everything under control, as far as i know there went any problems! I think imma be coming back next year!

My experience at this school has been honestly frustrating and disappointing. The environment feels…read moremore stressful than supportive, and it often seems like students are expected to just deal with problems instead of actually getting help. One of the biggest issues is how disorganized everything is. Important information is either given last minute or not clearly explained at all, which makes it harder to stay on top of assignments and expectations. It feels like students are blamed for things that aren't fully communicated in the first place. The teaching quality is also really inconsistent. Some teachers care and try, but others seem uninterested or don't explain things well, leaving students confused and stuck teaching themselves. When you ask for help, it can feel like you're just brushed off instead of actually supported. The rules can also feel unfair or overly strict, especially when they're enforced differently depending on the student. It creates a sense that things aren't equal, which makes it harder to feel respected or motivated. Overall, this school doesn't feel like a place that prioritizes student success or well-being. Instead of helping students grow, it often just adds stress and frustration to an already difficult experience.
