That School is one of the worst in Tustin, the teachers really don't care about students never give them homework also they don't care about discipline at all there is a lot of bullies with bad attitude and the kids are not safe there, they have no rule against bad wear clothes. Their academic levels are very low .

I like all my teachers there nice people, they want there students to learn everyday. I don't understand why students leave their trash everywhere though it's disgusting. I think the Special Ed teachers are very sweet, very patient with their kids . There's been a lot of lockdowns in this High school plus what happened to the tech room ( it is still closed off). The school isn't safe, thankfully they caught something before anything could happen. Sometimes I wonder (" what will happen next?") I'll never know until it happens so far no one has gotten hurt which is good. The school has gates but do they lock all the doors before, during and after school? sometimes during my classes like 4th period or I'm in a class something bad happens. I never know when it occurs which is scary. The principle is nice I known her since 6th grade until 10th she always helps students and greets students at the gates in the morning. I like my counselor as well she's sweet, caring , supportive and works hard everyday Hannah's helped me a lot. I just don't understand why there's so many lockdowns besides that this school's good Everyone gets along with each other. I've dealt with 1 issue but I can solve it. Some students cuss not all. I didn't know how to rate this school teachers, staff, Aids, academic counselors and library lady are very nice and respectful. I would recommend this school because of the awesome teachers and staff unfortunately just way too many horrible incidents . My middle and elementary schools had no issues whatsoever. I have good and bad things to talk about this high school. My friend is going through something right now and i overheard his friends told a trusted adult and nothings being done. I try to help Diego and tell him to just ignore the situation he is switching p.e. periods because of this.

The concept of a steam magnet is great. There are great educational values. Are all teachers great. No. In my 8 years of experience at this school some are either phenomenal and love teaching or some just don’t have the emotionally intelligence to deal with different types of students. There have been 3 different principals and even an interim principal in the course of 7-8 years. The administration is unstable. Which is creating quite a bit of problems. The problems include disorganization, bullying, kids harassing other kids, teachers and staff are not managed. There is a real bullying problem at this school. Nothing short of physical assault. They are not staffed adequately or mismanage the staff and what they choose to focus on is talking during lunch. Children are yelled at daily by noon duty and just not allowed to be kids. Yet when there is bullying they do nothing. They deny and say they didn’t see it. It’s a harsh environment for the children and lack of support for parents. There is also a huge classism. This school asks for large donations throughout the year. Those who donate the most are protected. Great academics. However, ineffective due to the hostile environment and lack of seasoned principals since the founding principal left.
