Ms Linda from the being made me feel comfortable when I told her my daughter was shy and I was worried. She assured me that all kids are the same and we would see her fit right in. She was right.

I went in to ask when does kindergarten registration start her answer refer to the website. When do I need to sign up for the dual immersion program her answer refer to the website. It's very unprofessional to me it seems like she's been seating in that seat/position for decades. I'm sure there wasn't always a website and these questions I have are simple and happen around the same time every year. Again I came in two years ago to ask her response was the same. And I came last week to ask her response was the same. It's so frustrating to interact w a person like that and it makes my life as a parent trying to get clarification for enrollment harder.

Although it is true that the social environment isn't quite the best, and that the local area isn't…read morethe safest, any student coming in with a working head should be well off here. The extremities when it comes to danger and safety go seriously far left and right - you're the only one in charge of which route you take. My favorite concept of give-and-take applies when it comes to your well being and overall happiness. Most of the friends you make here are generally more 'loose' and very easy-going - no matter what grades they get. The low-achieving status of this school is the give; however, the everlasting strong friendships through mutually, open, or discrete hardships that are so often shared is the take. When it comes to the surrounding environment...haha. Of course it's not safe. People get shot, murdered, and raped in streets within nearby neighborhoods and it's never a surprise when the school goes on lockdown. Surprisingly enough, there have never been any kidnappings. Drivers can be shit too; it's a good thing the area is littered with cops and that the staff has good security. The only reason for someone to get killed is either by your own stupid mistake on the streets, or by being even stupider by voluntarily getting involved with gangs and by spending time with the wrong people. If you stray away from that, you're better than just fine because you can have under-the-influence peers who can be seriously nice and will inform you of where and when undesireable events could/will happen. That's why it's all up to your own decisions - just like any other school with spheres of influence. As for the teachers, the regulars (except for the regulars chemistry teacher) are mediocre and you'd rather not want to touch that. The honors/AP/IB teachers are exceptional, ironically enough. Our current honors chemistry teacher is potentially a fountain of intelligence, but holy fuck she spends an enormous amount of time in class just dicking around on facebook to occassionally share pictures, videos, and stories of her toddlers to the class, of which she can easily distract and temporarily convince. Nogales's honors department is extremely lucky to have their current members. The freshmen start out with the mother, Mr. Speirs (world history honors), and the father, Ms. Zelnick (english honors) of honors. The genders are switched due to their associated familial reputations with the honors kids (mother for girl/boy problems and father for life and serious problems). Our school's R.O.P. program offers a buttload of fun - especially the arts division. The time spent with these guys will inject you with the true definition of high school memories - no matter what kind of challenged memory you have. Most importantly, the fact that Nogales also has a bad reputation with academics, good scores on tests (especially AP) are sexy when it comes to colleges taking a gander at transcripts. Considering the amount of difficulty there is in the typical honors/IB pathway, it's still a bitch to score high. Doing so at Nogales, however, makes you stand out on an amazing scale when compared to getting high grades at an 'already high' achieving school, like Rowland, Diamond Bar, or Ayala. I'm always going to cherish how it all feels right the friends I made here. On one half of the entire spectrum of social diversity, there coexists many potheads and douchebag cholos ruining their futures. On the other side, the amount of differences between the innumerable amount of cliques is amazing. You can convince yourself that you've had every type of friend if/when you decide to stop looking at people the same way. I'm a junior now and everything is just fine for me here. Nogales deserves a lot more respect and praise than it actually gets based on external opinions that I often find to be some seriously biased bullshit or very uneducated guesses influenced by ear. So far, experiencing life through change with my old time guys and gals has been way more than I even thought you could ask for. Oh yeah, props to the best cross country and track teams!

Absolutely Horrid, the new principal has no real goals that actively benefit the entire school…read more He'd rather support "popular" sports that don't need any extra funding and ignore problems of other sports. Why would you continuously give funding to a team that doesn't need it. Multiple jerseys and helmets don't make a team better. Focus on spending the funds on making the school environment better.

My family's experience at IPoly has been very disappointing. The school relies heavily on group…read moreprojects, but there seems to be little accountability when students do not contribute. Even when one or two students carry the entire workload, everyone receives the same grade. This creates an unfair academic environment and punishes students who are actually trying their best. There also appears to be lack of structured teaching. Much of the learning feels self-directed without enough instructions, guidance, or support from teachers. Students who need clear explanations or traditional teaching methods can easily fall behind. Another serious concern is the classroom climate in upper-grade history classes. My child felt uncomfortable and perceived unequal treatment and insensitive remarks that made the learning environment feel unwelcoming. A particularly troubling issue involved the history teacher, Mr Jon Aguado. Students reported instances where he would physically pull on a student's hoodie to get their attention. Regardless of intent, physical contact of this nature felt inappropriate and unprofessional in a classroom setting. What was most concerning was the perception that this behavior went unaddressed, leaving students feeling uncomfortable and unheard. In addition, students shared that he frequently asked about their personal lives and private matters unrelated to coursework, making students uncomfortable. Teachers should maintain clear professional boundaries so students feel safe and respected. In addition, the 11th grade history classroom environment sometimes included strong political opinions expressed by the teacher, Mr Navaroli. Students felt that openly expressed pro-Trump viewpoints created discomfort and made some students hesitant to participate in discussions. Classrooms should encourage balanced dialogue where students feel safe sharing ideas without feeling pressured or uneasy due to a teacher's personal political stance. Although students have complained about these two history teachers, the counselors and principal did not care. One incident that stood out involved students arriving early to class but still being marked tardy. Despite being physically present before instruction began, attendance was recorded in a way that did not reflect the reality, and concerns raised about the situation were not handled fairly. Situations like this make students feel unheard and discouraged.

Crazy junior year team project ( not all team members work but teachers don't care.

Kids just working long hours into the wee hours in the am; always lack of sleep; another crazy senior individual project plus tons of work with no proper guidance. No AP. Poor college classes to choose from. In a nutshell, do not send your kids there. Your kid(s) is/ are expected to work on his/her own , as if he/ she is own teacher.
