REVIEW for the Amador Theater, not high school…read more Last night, I saw Dan Alon (Israeli fencer and survivor of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre) speak at the Amador Theater. What a nice theater! Clean restrooms, well-maintained and overall pretty nice. I'm a fan...yep. 4 stars.

Every inch of those benches were covered in bird crap. Not a tree or perch above the bleachers as you'd expect to see with the amount of droppings there were.

I was very impressed with the young girls performing considering the pool was outside, and the temperature was 49 degrees.

A swift perusal of the CA Ed Code will show CRT is now required as well as the highly debunked 1619 "history" curriculum. Both pit groups against one another--one oppressor the other oppressed.

I have been nothing but impressed with the education they provide here. The only downfall about most California schools, up in the bay area I think, do not have school buses. So when we have to go pick them up-drop them off, some of the cars drive by too fast---which is very unsafe for the children crossing the street;( I wish people would be more conscientious of the 25 mph school zone speed limits, or better yet- even go slower, knowing that the children are letting out...I almost saw a parent get hit by a car, crossing the street to go into the school gate;( Great school.

My experience at Los Cerros Middle School changed me as a person…read more I entered from Vista Grande as a goody-two-shoes, concerned about my "permanent record," trying my best, playing in band, and writing poetry. One day, as I'm sitting down eating lunch, an administrator hands someone at the table a clipboard. "Everyone at this table has to sign up for lunch detention." My beautiful, immaculate permanent record would be ruined! (Note from an adult: Permanent records either don't exist or no one will ever care to read them, so don't worry about what's on them.) Somehow, every one of us had messed up already. "What did we do?" we asked. "Someone threw a recyclable aluminum can in the trash can at the end of this table yesterday, and because I don't know who it was, you all have to be punished." But anyone can throw anything in a trash can at any time, not just the people who sit at the nearest table, we noted. She didn't care. It's just a can? Didn't care. I don't drink out of cans? None of us were even SITTING at this table yesterday? No, our stupid children logic didn't matter, we don't deserve agency or space to reason. This admin just wanted to show how little justice actually mattered, you're just supposed to cower under her authority. This wasn't an isolated incident; I also got real, after-school detention because I forgot to ask my parents to sign my math test. How is it supposed to benefit a student to stare at a wall for an hour after school? So, what did I learn from this experience? That getting in trouble has nothing to do with whether you did anything wrong. It's all about getting caught. Ever since then, I forged signatures on my tests and never got caught. My new favorite hobbies are trespassing and graffiti. Maybe you've seen some of my work around Danville. Los Cerros has a nice Literary Magazine, though.

The office staff takes an interest in your child, like you would want them too ;). The school was remodeled recently and looks much nicer than when my first child attended. Teachers have been around a long time, some good, some bad, same as every other school I guess. What I like most about Los Cerros is the lack of serious conflict between students. The environment is kept in check, there are clicks of course, like anywhere, but the campus feel is very relaxed. You commonly see the popular paired up with the not-so-popular and kids of all races, grades, social positions participating in after school intermural sports, leadership programs and so on. My biggest complaint is the traffic getting to and from the school. There is only one way in and one way out and with Green Valley and Monte Vista as well as Athenian being all on top of each other, the traffic can be extremely challenging. I've been late for work more than once because of it, until TRAFFIX BUS came to town (another Yelp review). My daughter is graduating this year but we've been very fortunate to have had Los Cerros as our educational foundation.

A simple way to ensure that your child fits in socially: Girls: enroll them in RAGE. Boys: enroll them in Ballistic. Even if they aren't very good, at least they get the cool soccer gear that's practically the uniform of P.U.S.D until high school. That said, this was a great school! I was never concerned for my safety. But then again, I was vaccinated. ;)
