My son loves this school! They care deeply for the success of the kids. Along with a regular…read moreeducation they also teach aviation, nursing, guitar, second languages, robotics and design. Classes run 8:35 to about 12:35. The lunch they offer is not always so great but it's free to all students! So no complaints here. Lol. They make a plan and help you accomplish them! Best part these kids are good kids. Never heard of a fight there. The location is out of the way but you see these kids hustle to get to class. Even when they're getting off of city buses trying to get to school on time. My son is autistic and I worried about bullying and we never had an issue here. He can't wait to get to school!

My daughter went here since it was an available and local standardized testing location. We went…read morethe day before the test (Friday) to familiarize ourselves with the grounds and ensure she knew where to go on testing day. The staff were so cute and friendly. Some of them were dressed up for the holidays in movie character costumes. The front office was decorated and the atmosphere was so cheery. There were other students and parents waiting in the small space near the front office desk. On the day of the test (Saturday)- The school has a large parking lot but it is shared with Victor Valley College (VVC). We weren't sure if we needed parking passes so I purchased a $3 pass for the day at one of the VVC ticket machines. The school appears to offer transportation to students as we saw several buses on the Friday we went. We also saw what appeared to be armed security guards wearing black. It's understandable with the recent school shootings in America. Overall, my daughter said her test taking experience was very good. She was able to find an outlet in the classroom she went to and plug in her laptop. Were very blessed and grateful to have had this school as a location for the test. Thanks Excelsior!!!

Horrible school. Vice Principal Veronica Cueva is very bias towards her teachers. Does not see the…read morestudents side and instead takes the teachers perspective. 8th grade math teacher Mrs. Washington does not let students use the restroom whether it be a woman or man. Her classroom is close to tyrany since she treats her students bad besides some of her favorite kids in her classes. Does not try to build you up but brings you down and makes you feel inferior. Some teachers in this school actually make sure their students feel welcome in this school, like Janice Keaton that teaches us things. Some of the security gaurds have a authority complex. Ms. Angela is very rude to students and doesn't here us out. Otherwise she is talking to the lids that she favorites. The security gaurd that also doubles as the baseball coach is also bery rude and makes students feel more like gum under his shoe than actual people. The dress code also is discriminatory towards the women students in the school. They worry more about how short their shorts are instead of the teachers that make students hold their bodily functions to wait for everybody to finish their test. I hate this school.

Independent study was not a good fit for my special needs boys. Sadly, their staff did not allow…read moreefficient 1on1 time or individualized support. During the independent study program, my boys were just a number and passed along with claimed expectations that were not being met. However, I am giving them 5 stars because their Homeschooling program is the BEST! It allows us, the parents, to put them in the programs they will excel in. It allows the parents to teach. It allows educational funds so the parents can hire tutors that come into the home or meet up someplace nearby. There are monthly field trips. ABC MOUSE, annual passes to discovery cube or zoo (and other places like that). You can literally put your kids in boxing and the school will pay for it under the PE subject. For those that want more for your children, try homeschooling!

Don't work. I've seen people smuggle in knifes and air-soft guns STILL with those time consuming metal detectors. The school its self is very ghetto and I would really not send your kid here. The teaching curriculum is that of one that was simply taken from online and there's no creativity or hands-on learning experiences. They fire most of the school counselors especially if a student is bonding with them in a healthy way, and they do not know how to handle a crisis such as a school shooting, or a threat of. I would really much rather anybody reading this would send their kid ANYWHERE else.

For whatever reason, Snowline moved their band directors around to different schools. So, for the…read morelast year and a half, Serrano has had Mr. Fell for their band director. He is a new addition to the Snowline staff and has done wonders in the band room. The kids are excited, the band is growing again, and new students are learning instruments from scratch as well as others learning a second instrument. His focus has been on being the best you can be. The students are learning not to be afraid of messing up but instead learning from their mistakes as a whole group and individually. I think it's great how he has managed to turn the kids around in the short time he has been there and hope to continually see the transformation of the students in the future. Serrano also got a new principal around the same time. The office is much better now. It can still get confusing at times and you can see looks on faces every now and then but they try much harder than they did before to help you. The office has been rearranged so that there are now two doors that you can use to get into the office: one for attendance and one for the main office even though it is all open inside. Mr. Andrus has made lots of changes in the school and I'm seeing that the staff reflect the principal's expectation. The teachers are still awesome and always have been!!

This high school is extremely out of touch with our children and community. Have you ever heard how…read morethey speak to our children??? Today, my children witnessed and video recorded a yard duty/proctor harass a group of students that were in line for the blood drive. Ms. Kathy asked them to step out of line, and to"come here," as she put it! She wouldn't advise them on what the issue was, then they were directed to the office and humiliated and physically searched by a dean, Sabrina Merrick, because they were out of class! This dean even insinuated that the students were acting as if they were on drugs, because they were upset for being targeted and harassed! Understandably so!! As a parent, I was quite disgusted to hear of their rude behavior as administrators of children. The incompetence of these adults and their inability to show human decency is astounding. I also was advised that the young ladies are being targeted and forced to change their clothing if this mentioned tyrant proctor, Ms. Kathy feels that a crop top, tank top, tube tops which are appropriate for 90+degree weather. Mind you there are students on the website and on campus as we speak wearing tight fitted short shorts, pink leotard with no straps just today! I will be taking further action as I find it necessary to provide the video of this incident to their parents. How Disappointing it is to see our educational staff and their bitter tyrant yard duty conduct themselves in this manner and talk to the students as if they're not worthy of respect. Our children and families deserve better representation and respect from an atmosphere that is teaching our children life skills. The Hatred is felt by the students and now observed by the adults.
