Ok I go to Esperanza High, its a really good school. There aren't many fights (thats a good thing for you parents out there). The teachers are nice. Its just too crowded but luckily they are building a new high school in Yorba Linda. Also there's a program for failing students it's called S.E.R.V.E.
... Read more It helps students with homework and we do lots of fun stuff on Fridays. We talk about stuff thats happening around us and stuff that happened to us in the past it's called Time Line Of Loss and we could get one on one time with Mr. Lopez (the teacher) and in that class you get to know lots of people...like people you would never talk to. In that class we are a family. We go on feild trips. The last one went to was the Museum Of Tolerance (It is a sad place to visit) I think it's a good school and S.E.R.V.E. makes it better because Mr. Lopez helps students so we can graduate (and some students thought they wouldn't be able to graduate high school because of thier grades in the past) thanks Mr. Lopez for being there when we all need you. EHS S.E.R.V.E.! Go Aztecs! Read less

I have two students at Esperanza High; both sophomores. So far, I would rank this school as 'average' in academics and social programs. My greatest disappointment is with the counselors. Trying to get the time of day with them is impossible. I thought the counselors were supposed to 'counsel' not

According to my kids who attended (3 girls) there were two schools. One school was for the honors' students and was challenging. My daughter had from 5-7 hours of homework a night. The other school was for the rest of the students with no homework (another daughter). My daughter from the honors class

I really liked the faculty I met at back-to-school nights and felt that they were great teachers (taught honors and AP courses). However, I felt the vice principles and the counselor were rude and disrespectful to me as a parent when we made a simple request for a class change. They were very unwilling to put the best interests of the student ahead of their own stubborn arrogance. Other parents feel the same way. Read less

I will have a senior this year and an 8th grader following for the next 4 years. I feel so fortunate my kids have been and will continue to attend Esperanza.

Read more high scholastic performance results, to the long standing tradition of excellence in sports, the performing arts (Band, orchestra, vocal music), debate teams, etc., Esperanza provides opportunities for the needs and desires of virtually every student that walks through the front door.
