    I went to Salk for 4th, through 6th grade back in the early 60's. I'm still friends with many of the kids that I went to school back then.

    My alma-matter (I'm one of the few non-choir kids who actually knows the alma matter.)…read more Graduated this year (2008) and I'm glad I did it just now. I feel so sorry for the other students, since most classes are now going to be around 40 students , and there's been a lot of drama going on in the science department (Oh Ms. Grossman...how we'll miss you). I didn't have the "typical" high school experiance (Going to dances, ASB and so on) ... because this is not a typical high school. School spirit is close to dead, but it's there. Not a lot of students get excited about activities -- unless you're in the clubs, ASB , band/choir or sports. Cliques are not that dominent, there's no "popular" girls or boys, and you can pretty much be friends with anyone . There's no "Ew, you hang out the the emos/jocks etc" which is pretty cool. Well, that's how it used to be. Now it seems that a bunch of petty tagger krews and gangs are starting to make their presance known, which is a bummer. Damn little Dale Jr. High kiddies. Pretty much, my class graduated with a bitter resentment against ASB, and almost everyone is convinced that ASB only cares about itself. Boo on ASB. The teachers are great, though other students might not agree. Mr. Friedrich is the history and American politics/government teacher (Also for AP), but you're in for debates and tirades against liberals, which is really interesting and he is pretty much against politically correctedness, so you can speak your mind in that class and won't get censored. Other great teachers: Mr. Turner, Mrs. Kim, Mr. Gallagher, Miss. Noh, Ms. Johlic, Mr. Mann, Ms. Grossman, Mrs. Jimenez, Miss. Howl, Miss. Johnson. Mr Friedrich. Mr. Kough. Magnolia got some noteriety for a suicide which happened on campus. It was a guy from Cypress and was found hanging from the softball field area, but we all are convinced it was gang related since he was found tied up and gagged. Finally, it seems that Key Club is the most popular club on campus with a cult following. I never joined. Sents of Pride is my homebase , and we brought some liberal though to that school -- even if the campus really didn't care. Haha. At least we were known for hanging t-shirts for a whole week. (Hooray for the Non Violence Week xD)

I was a part of the band program for 4 years and swim/water polo program for 1 1/2 years. The band has a really nice collection of trophies as well as a good history. The band director Mr. Yim was sort of a jerk though and obviously played favorites. The swim coach, Mr. Ake, was very cool and I learned a lot from him. I'm glad that I joined those programs or else I would have been bored and I would not have met as many friends. School spirit seemed very weak overall. It seemed that everyone just wanted to pass their classes and get the hell out of there lol. Cliques existed, but they weren't as obvious as they are on tv shows and movies. Overall, a bad experience in high school, but at least I graduated. I have no idea what the culture of the school is now. Hopefully it has gotten better because this school remains close to my heart.

    I currently have 2 children at Fairmont Preparatory - one will be senior soon and the other will be…read moresophomore. This is a typical private run high school, uniforms, smaller classes, college prep curriculum. I sent my kids here because I felt they take student safety as well as opportunity for learning, seriously. The tuition was always high, and every year it would increase 4-5%, typical of private schools. 2 years ago it was sold by the owning family to a conglomerate (named ISP or "International Schools Partnership"). Since then, many of the great teachers or people around the school, have begun leaving. The emphasis is now on creating a "glossy image" for the school to appeal to high income international students and their families. The have focused heavily on making everything look orderly, and making the student population look diverse (it is not). There is less emphasis on the actual curriculum (resulting in cutting down on classes offered) and less encouragement of school clubs. Due to this combination of unfortunate factors, teachers are leaving left and right. I cannot blame them. The school has increased tuition for this coming year by 11%, citing "maintenance needed for air conditioning, and more, etc." to the campus. While they have increased tuition by 11% for every student, they are cutting teacher salaries. If they increased tuition, to keep the teachers, it is something parents would understand and have to accept. To be told tuition is going up at this rate, and to know that teachers are all being told to take a pay cut - raises the question - where is all this money going? It is not benefitting the teachers, and not benefitting the students. I can only imagine it lining the coffers of I.S.P. and the management salaries of those who work there. I feel we are now stuck - I don't want to move my kids and upend their school life. I used to be able to "recommend" this school to parents who wanted an option for a private school. I do not recommend this school anymore, because the current owning company is only interested in increasing their profit, and promoting all their portfolio of international private schools, rather than actually caring for each campus, the happiness and motivation of the teachers, and the offerings and education for each student. I will be very fair. If you a family from outside United States and would like to send your child to an expensive international private school through a student visa, I believe you are the target market. They can place your child with a host family or house them in a dorm, and bus them to school, etc. This will cost you yearly about the same as a US Private College tuition, but if money is not an object, this will not matter. You are the most important target market for I.S.P., and your child will attend Fairmont Preparatory with many other children just like them. This is not derogatory- my children have many international student friends, precisely due to this marketing strategy which heavily influences the student population. If I had known another entity would purchase the school, raise tuition, and order pay cuts for teachers (again, where is all the money going then?) which then causes an exodus of great teachers, then I would have looked for another private school for my children's high school education.

    Not a good option. Kids are all "same type." They're all just dressed, competitive, lack of sports,…read morearts classes, some teachers are good some whatever. Save your money. Kids are judgy and many socially-emotionally not healthy. ASB teachers are not good. Take your student elsewhere.

    How else am I supposed to rate my Alma Mater???…read more Even though you took the lockers out, starting with the graduating class of 1997's first year at Savanna, You are still tops in my book... Well. Most of you. Favorites Include: - Mr. Jawor - Ms. Beardsley-Mull - Ms. Walton - Mr. Shore - Mr. Heymers (even though you gave me a D) - Mr. Davies - Ms. Weihardt - Mr. Bell - Ms. Villafuerte - Ms. Tenney Are any of these teachers still there? Great times and good stuff learned. I wreaked absolute havoc through the entire school, and no teacher was safe. I locked teachers in the faculty bathrooms, brought knives to class and ran the perimeter of the classroom, cutting posters in half, and would clap two chalk-dusters together over teachers' heads in order to mimic dandruff... Couple that along with forging tons of re-admit slips, leaving campus at my leisure in order to go shopping at Ralphs and go to Taco Bell, bringing universal remotes to class in order to turn the TV's on and off at my own leisure, and well... you get the picture... though I did take the time to study & learn... adopting the philosophy I now have: work hard, play harder. Thanks for the good times, Savanna. Rest in peace Mr. Quigley. Honorable mention goes to Thursdays in the quad with the DJ's playing songs that were not made for high school kids, Rebel Show (annual talent show), and the afterschool fights at the AM/PM next door - which is now closed. I hope I don't drive by Savanna in a couple years and bear witness to yet another school that looks like a Federal SuperMax Penitentiary.

If the admin don't help you then escalate it to district and appeal for your child's rights. I don't recommend this school at all. As. Former student there it's now so out of control and poop.

But with the support of his parents and teachers he has seen great improvements and we are very optimistic that he is now in the right path to maintaining academic performance. The teachers have done a great job communicating with us using the ParentSquare app, allowing us almost live access to class content, events, grades and homework. We are very happy to see the efforts to integrate and nurture social interaction and knowledge. This past December we had the opportunity to attend the Winter Concert where my son was part of the Choire. We were so excited and happy to see the event. Thank you Miss Joy Reyes, for your great work!

My son loves his teachers and has a lot of pride in being a panther. Specifically, I'm impressed by the work of the instrumental music teacher, Mrs. Reyes. The amount of growth the program has seen since last year is quite remarkable. Music programs are so important and are a great experience for kids. I'm so glad my son got to have that experience.

As a parent I was excited for my kid and classmates. Just a little disappointed how the front office is not informed of the kids activities. (Young adults) or aware of what's going on. While trying to check in we were told that parents were not allowed, that was a lie. We brought chairs to sit down on the pavement or grass, but the front office told us that we didn't need them because the tournament was gonna take place indoors and that there is plenty of seating. That was another lie. In the end, everything was cleared up. We were welcome, but after putting our lawn chairs away, we had to go get them again in order for us to sit down just a little annoying. Then we saw other parents there as well.....which we were informed we didn't need to check in that they never do. .... That was just annoying. Other than that. Everything was great. The kids had fun and we got to see the Laker girls very excited for our kiddos.

This place also has a lot of supervision from the teenagers that take care of your kids here. The preschool in this place is technically the safest part of the whole school, because of its thick and gated fencing. I had nothing but wonderful memories of this place here.
