Vallejo High School staff ROCKS!!!! I was recently the victim of cell phone theft :( However, thanks to technology, and the amazing diligence of my husband, we were able to track the phone to Vallejo High School. We contacted Principal Clarence Isadore who immediately went into action. He and his amazing team tracked down the young person who we suspected had taken my phone, and retrieved it. this all took place within a 30 minute time frame. In fact, Principal Isadore told my husband and I to "get him some donuts and milk" and he would have my phone by the time we got back (did I mention that he is also hilarious?). We quickly and gratefully ran to the donuts shop, filled the order, and got back in time for Mr. Isadore to hand me the phone. I was amazed!!! Not only did he know exactly which student we were talking about by name, but he and his staff were able to call the student out of class, address the situation directly with this individual, and get my phone without incident. In addition to all this, the campus was clean, quiet ,and orderly with Principal Isadore watching over each student that walked his campus. I have two adult children that attended Vallejo High a few years ago, and it was so bad that I had to pull my daughter out in her junior year because of the constant violence, blatant sexual activity, and police presence on campus. What I saw today was a very different school from the one that I once knew. It was very refreshing to see the campus being maintained and monitored by someone who truly cares about the students, the school, and the city of Vallejo. Great job Principal Isadore. Thank you for all that you and your staff do for our kids and our city. And, a very sincere and grateful thank you for getting back my phone. You are a hero to us all. read more

During 2013 to 2015 it's was a good school. Then there was a stabbing and suicide. Between those years seniors were using freshman's. Seriously don't bring your kids here. read more

I am a current student in this school and I have heard of words spreading about a student that is turning 18 and is sexually active with a student that has recently turned 15. They took no action towards it and I heard that they were not suspended. A person that I know was called up to the office and was suspended instead. read more

My mom was trying to register me and everybody in the office was mad disrespectful I recommend just to do it all the paper work online because the people in the office doesn't treat people with respect. read more

How time flies. Today is the day of my 10 year HS reunion dinner/party. I'm not going for a few reasons: -I'm sick today (well, for the past few days already) -I didn't RSVP -I didn't RSVP because I am not really interested in mingling with familiar faces and old friends. They've already added me on those popular "social networking" websites anyway! High school had its ups and downs. It wasn't the best public high school in the school district nor the nation in terms of quality education nor was I the most popular, smartest, prettiest, had boyfriends or had the a cool car to roll up in but I did make friends that I still keep in touch with and I have fond memories of some of the classes I took (I learned French all throughout HS and I'm still learning it now!) I was thought to be : eccentric and weird because I had multicolored hair and always wore military boots and two different colored contacts lenses, a lesbian (did it help that I used to hold hands with a girl whom I've called my girlfriend? I guess not!) a "rocker" because I never failed to proclaim my love for Smashing Pumpkins on all my books, notebooks and lockers and a "jock" because I was on the tennis team throughout all my years there. You'd never think that I was that type of person if you saw me now. Because now, I've come to be pretty damn hot. (I can't say that without keeping a straight face) But I guess in a way, I'm glad I had those experiences because I'm not ashamed of where I'm from (the City of Vallejo filed for bankruptcy this year according to Wikipedia!) and one of my favorite memories of HS was having my own radio station show with one of my best friends once a week and even though I wasn't the brightest star in the sky...maybe I was just too cool for school to even go most of the time...I still don't know how I managed to graduate! But still...not gonna go tonight! Don't wanna steal everyone's thunder because I'm so hot. (Or it could be that i'm hot from a fever) read more

- This school sucks doo-doo water. - The staff is very incompetent (except the vice principal), and I personally experienced this a couple of times from the Main Office. The person from the finance office literally hates every student she sees and expects students to respect her when she's disrespectful first. I made sure not to go close to her territory after my second encounter with such a witch. - The teachers can make your records look a little ugly due to lousiness and incompetence. Plus, the AP Lang teacher literally has poor grammar and spelling skills, which potentially got me a low grade on one of my assignments from them. I don't know why I'm getting teachers giving out assignments with VERY clear instructions ha ha (note the sarcasm.) - This is literally the worst school, what else can I say? I'm in 11th grade as of typing this (third year) and this is just what I experienced. Although, if you want it easy, you can go to this school due to some classes having constant substitute teachers. Update April 2021: Since it's distance learning, I can experience multiple problems such as internet problems, black-out, etc.; reasons why I can't attend my classes. I've had times where I go to class late because of my internet; told the teacher that I'm present and my reason why I was late, and hope that they mark me present. Later, I received a letter that I was absent for 10+ days. My mother called the number on the letter and she received the bad, incompetent service that I received from the staff in this school from a year ago :D In the letter, it said that they will help us with the problem. Guess what the person on the phone said? They can't do anything about it and that it's our problem. They also said that if a student was absent for one subject, that student is absent for the whole day. So why did my mother have to call if they didn't even plan to help from the beginning? Time is precious, and I can see that they don't realize that, or they just prefer to be stupid and lazy. I guess that these people just want money and they don't care about logic and actually helping parents and students. They care more about getting students to join their sports team because they know their students are lacking and graduating everyone who only does sports. And they sure like being incompetent. Trash school. Trash staff. Trash teachers. If you want to see a trash high school, here you go. read more

Attended here during late 80's. So much has changed & yet still a lot has stayed the same. Went to watch my nephew graduate last June & it felt so weird sitting in the bleachers. A few teachers have already passed on & a couple are still there. I'd probably still blend in dressed in my sweatshirt & jeans because I'm short. Man, 20+ yrs later & I'm still the same height, boo! read more

My son hasnt had any homework since the start of the school year, the biology teacher he has is less than convincing that he will be able to handle the attitudes of a highschool teen, and he hasnt had a Spanish teacher but has a Spanish class with constant subs. There are fights almost daily and the structure for disappine, consequences, and the rate at which voicing concerns and fixing issues at the school is barely noticeable. All in all my choices are limited but my son will not be returning next year as he has only gone from a straight A student who was enthusiastic and outgoing to a lazy, attitude baring average grade but doesn't care type of kid. read more

The special education dept is especially strong at this school, particularly Ms Cherry and Ms Gaglax.

I'm sure most are aware by now that from the beginning of March 2015 till 2018 Vallejo high has been placed on probation for accreditation sanctions. Of course these dates are not exactly correct but my point is that Vallejo is one of the worst high schools I ever attended to. Many will disagree with my opinion but before u judge why not take a trip to Vallejo high school to see for yourself? I gurentee in the little time that u have visited u will see through the bs the teachers try to pull off. Im not saying all or most but some teachers have no regards to the students effort. "Looks like they are working, therefore they should have an A+." As a sophomore I care for the quality of my education I'm sure most would also. read more

Great school. I would reccomend more colleges to choose more people that attended this school

This review is going to be a bit long because I am a former student who use to attend this school and I am going to speak off of experience . Do not send your child to this school , they will not learn anything and the staff doesn't care about your education either ... It's all about the money in there eyes. They are very hard on tardys only because if students aren't there then you lose money . The teachers are terrible , they cuss in class and don't help your child learn much of anything . I even got suspended because of a former teacher by the name of "ms. matson" Who had rudely asked me to leave her class after an event (my teacher wasn't there) and she got in my face and cussed me out and was about to hit me... She's known to bully students. But the principal by the name of "ms.witson" told me she had to suspend me to make the school look good and to make the school look like they are "taking action" since we had a poorly written review in the newspaper. This goes to show that they are all about "faking it till you make it" and your child's safety doesn't matter in there eyes, nor does there permanent record.. There are fights at this school every month . I just had to leave this school because I seen myself having no future here . You're better off at sending your child to Bethel High School in Vallejo read more
