This school is amazing, simply put. The teachers are absolutely wonderful, the academics are very satisfactory, and the student body is diverse. I recently had to switch schools, and I miss Trabuco so much. I very highly recommend this school!

The curriculum may have changed, but the teachers and staff that make up the school are never-changing. Due to budget cuts, the school has been deprived of its true potential. Trabuco Hills High School is one California's distinguished schools, and has been many times before. Our athletics departments
... Read more are some of the best, especially the Track and Field, Girls Soccer, and Boys Varsity Swim, and girls JV swim. Out of the four main high schools (El Toro, Mission Viejo, Laguna Hills, and Trabuco Hills) Trabuco has the best spirit, the best students and staff, and is overall a worthy school in itself. I enjoy being at this school. We have many different programs and clubs, special classes for average students, such as the Pre-MedSci (sophomores only) and MedSci (juniors and seniors only) programs, which students share three classes with the same students and teachers. Overall, I love this school. Read less

This school really exemplifies the characteristics of a good high school. The sports programs push one to the limit, while the academic programs are top of the notch. Everyone knows each other, and not to many cliques and gangs are formed. There are many things going on all the time, and always a way

I just read a review by a parent who says that the school has a poor athletic record. That may be true if you are talking about football, or even basketball. But take a look at other programs. The Competition Cheer Squad which my daughter is a member of is currently National Champions, and State Champions

I have been extremely disappointed with THHS. I have read items written by teachers and find many of them cannot compose a simple sentence. Their credibility as it applies to teaching children is definitely arguable. The biggest disappointment has been the sports programs. My child has participated
... Read more in several sports, and we have discovered they are lacking in several important areas. They force athletes to perform weight lifting and excercise programs that are known to be dangerous to the child and refuse to listen to experts' advice on this, feeling they 'know better' than doctors. They alter results of fellow athlete's voting when giving awards, and use the results to favor their own pets, or to penalize a child or a parent that they don't care for. Parents know they cannot speak to a coach, and indeed are told they should not, for fear their child will never play. This year we were sent a letter warning the parents to not criticize or talk about the coaching with other parents! I felt we were in Iraq, not the USA. The sports programs at THHS consistently drive away good athletes who no longer wish to play under these coaches. Students regularly transfer to other area schools to escape our programs. I feel it is a travesty to allow these people to so negatively affect our children. As I know this could appear to be merely sour grapes, I offer that the school's athletic records will bear out my contentions. Read less
