Agoura High School was a good school years ago. My older daughter graduated a few years ago, and I was proud she went there. In the last few years Agoura High's quality of education has gone down. The teachers are not the best, and the education is severely lacking. Last year they changed the classroom structure to include support period in the class making each class about 2 hours. What a massive waste of time. Students get bored and are seen just leaving school early. The AP classes are a joke, as are the teachers. Teachers don't teach, they just tell students to read the book and treat the students badly. Students vape in class and when they get sent to administration the admiration does nothing, so the students continue to vape and disrupt the class. Teachers are afraid of students and no longer have control over their classes. This was an honors class I am speaking of. No respect for education, teachers or school. This goes directly to the lack of dress code or more precisely the lack of enforcement of dress code. Girls come to school in beach wear, barely wearing tops or bras. Students treat every day like Halloween, wearing outfits they cannot walk in or sit in. Such a distraction to other students. Agoura does not have classes sufficient to prepare students for 4-year universities. Agoura also has a very limited class selection, nothing between AP or regular paced classes. The administration and counselors just don't care. My child went to the administration for help and was told if she did that for her, she would have to do it for everyone. Nice, really nice response. They did away with the school service time and replaced it with "peer tutoring" for students who want to get special credit. That is also a joke. Students tutoring students that need help. All this does is hurt the student looking for help by teaching incorrect information. Again, no supervision. Peer tutors are not teachers or tutors but simply show up for service time, nothing else. I gladly transferred my straight A student out of Agoura to a college prep school where she will receive an outstanding education without the bureaucratic red tape. It is well worth the tuition. Agoura's principal was out ill this year, so basically no one was running the ship. Very sad for the students.

We love Sumac! The teachers are great, the atmosphere is nice, and the staff is excellent. The campus is closed now, and upgrades have been made. The school has parent meetings to help parents support their kids bilingual education at home, without homework. It’s clean, managed well, and a special little gem of a school that we feel privileged to attend.

Gate is nice and the kids are super friendly and kind. HOWEVER, the kids not in gate and with bad grades are not as nice and in math they will randomly make fart noises and scream like dolphins. The music teacher is really nice and makes it easy to learn. Some kids are furries though. They will bark at you. Some of the boys will cat call you.
