As a graduate of this school a couple years prior to this review, and who has a sibling that currently goes to this school, it is really not the best option for your child to go for this school. As I know of now, fights are very common in this school and it becomes a tradition for security guards trying to break up the fights. A fight happens on average around once per 4 days. The food quality in this school was decent around 2021, but when I graduated and moved to high school, the food quality has taken a downfall and is considered "not food" by most students. This is the only school that considers dried beans a gourmet. The teachers are not the best as well. Some occasions, they are decent and you have fun sticking with them for the school year. Most however do not stick to good teaching, and don't teach much material required. Kucera is a sad exception of Rialto's school's. This school provides close to no safety, the most awful food options, and teachers that don't put in the effort to fun teaching.

Overall this school is terrible, to put it simply. There is a lack of equity and access due to the "alpha scholars" program they're now implementing. If you're unaware of the program, essentially it's tracking. A group of students apply and if their test scores, grades, and personal statements meet expectation, they're put in an "elite" class of 36 which have most all of their classes together. To make the situation worse, they close off certain classes to this one class of students. For example, AP Human Geography, and AP European History are only available to these 36 students on a campus of 2000+. This is ridiculous considering that the school focuses their efforts on these students. They cannot honestly say that they are giving their other students an equal or adequate education. Their job is not cater to simply 36 students but the whole student population. This school needs to work on their ability to educate their whole student population rather than promoting a culture of busy work and "just-getting-by". Instead of teaching their students to fish, they give them a fish. Overall is incompetent in providing a college-ready education. (OH, by the way, there reason their honors/ap program is so big and so many students are enrolled, is because they encourage EVERYONE to take them, and then make the classes overly easy. It's no wonder so many people would take "honors" classes when they're not a challenge or rigorous in the least bit.) Do yourself a favor and don't send your kids here.

They lost my son. Not a safe school. Absolutely negligent.
