San Marcos High School is overall a pretty good school, the academics and community are strong, and my son has had mostly positive experiences there. However, I’ve been disappointed with his coach, Alex Turner, who has come across as unprofessional and arrogant in several interactions. His attitude has made it difficult for my son to feel supported and motivated on the team. It’s unfortunate, because with a more respectful and encouraging approach from the coaching staff, the athletic program could be just as impressive as the rest of the school.

We’ve been a LCM family since 2018 and have had great teachers who love and care about their students’ futures. It’s a very well balanced school with solid parental involvement.

This school is overall really good; they have amazing teachers, an administration team, and other faculty members. Their music program is amazing; their highest ensemble plays high school-level music and is so good. They have Honor English and an Accelerated Program in math, where you do 3 years of math in 2, but they're only available in 7th and 8th grade. However, in 6th grade, the work is VERY easy, so you might get bored, but I honestly think that is a good thing because when you go into the harder classes in 7th and 8th, you'll receive a bit of a higher workload. In addition, the teachers are so good; I have so many good teachers. The principal, Tricia Storey, is really good, and the assistant principals are very proactive and are always trying to help other students and do NOT tolerate bullying. I assure you, if you go to this school, you'll make so many friends, and you will enjoy your time here for all 3 years.
