It is a very good and educational school. The whole staff is friendly and patient. I would recommend this school!

As a current student, I feel at place to be full honest and share that Ive had teachers that do not fully understand what they are to teach, specifically in the math department, Ive had two math teachers put students at risk and fail to teach us, example of putting us at risk, one of the teachers failed to secure the door closed by removing the magnet strip during a lock down drill, another staff member had opened the door dueing said drill and my class panicked.The school as a whole does little to ensure student safety compared to other schools in surrounding districts.The campus itself is clean, well planned and very well built, I do enjoy the pleasent campus and new building added this year as well.Most of the staff are polite, respectful and are mostly pleasant to talk with, especially the counselors, History/gov teachers and the monitors that walk around during instructional time.The school recently had a change of principal, and although I personally like the previous principal, our school is running alot smoother than the past years.The AP Programs have small attendance but are very good, specifically Ap English, Psychology and Ap science classes have exceptional teachers who teach both Visible and audible styles.I have yet to see someone struggle with these teachers.The school rules are very reasonable, and the new law regarding phones during instructional time forced a policy change, and SUSD30 has chosen a policy that MANY of us as students appreciate more than those "Yondr Pouches" other schools across the nation are getting.The fine arts programs the school has are also very good, specifically the Band Program and The Pac Dance Team, both having new directors in the past couple of years who are well recepted to by us and boosting our programs alot.The main building with two stories though, does not feel safe in fire drill, the building has 3 staircases, one center, 2 rear on opposing sides; the building is EXTREMELY SLOW TO EVACUATE, students, including myself, have tripped on others in the crowded stairs and crammed in the (4) exits of the building.I fear about being in that building specifically in the case of a firearm related attack because of these crammed hallways, exits and stairs.The rest of the school has improved though, including the stadium field this previous year, we are getting new and bigger tennis courts, and theres a rumor we might get a new path to the stadium.Thats all I can really write, hopefully this helps!

Mrs. Maldando was my sons fourth grade teacher. He was moved into her class mid year. He’d been struggling to make friends and she noticed. She befriended him and after issues in his current class we chose to switch classes. She made him feel seen and heard. Maldando, not only helped him make friends but her classroom management style allowed for the entire class to feel like a team. They welcomed my son with open arms and she made learning fun. Prior he dreaded school and on the last day I asked if he was excited for summer break he said no he would miss her. This is Huge coming from an ADHD and Dyslexic student whom dreaded school. She is one of the few teachers who truly are in this field to make a difference. Couldn’t say a negative thing about her.
