The middle school years can be so tough for kids that age but despite that, my kids had an overall positive experience at Pomolita. Their teachers seemed engaged and invested in their educational experience. Bullying activity hits it's peak during middle school and the counselors seemed prepared to work with those challenges.

Ukiah High is a good example of a 'you get out of it what you put into it' kind of public school. Both my kids went on to college after graduation, one with a masters degree from Oxford and undergrad from Cal. She and her peers took multiple AP courses and were involved in athletics and leadership and all went on to university with multiple acceptances. The opportunities are there for that kind of student if that is the goal. Their classes were engaging, challenging, and their teachers were invested in their experience.

Kindergarten Teacher Cecilia was one of the worst teachers my daughter ever had. My daughter screamed and cried going to her class for months and she never had this problem with her prior daycare or prior preschool teachers. She didn't learn ANY Spanish in this class. The teacher failed to invite us (her parents) to the school Christmas play that my daughter was in, despite seeing me daily at drop off and pick up so my daughter was ALONE on the day of the play. The teacher gossiped to other teachers about my daughter (I heard this directly from another teacher). We HIRED A SPANISH TUTOR to teach my daughter Spanish as my daughter did not learn Spanish in Cecilia's class. I withdrew my daughter from this school at the end of the academic year and put her in private school due to this woman. My daughter flourished in the Catholic school where she felt loved and cared for, despite having trauma from her experience at Grace Hudson. A loving teacher at the Catholic school worked very hard with my daughter for months to undo the trauma my daughter experienced. The principal at this school was well aware of the situation but failed to do anything about this teacher. I received an apology from a veteran teacher at Grace Hudson (who has since retired) who said she was sorry for how my daughter was treated. When another teacher has to apologize for you, that speaks volumes.
