My daughter has been attending school there and so far I have be SO impressed. The communication has been incredible and it’s apparent to me the moment she gets on campus how loving all the teachers and staff are. They have already had a number of family engagement events which have been fun and a great way to connect with my daughters friends families. The after school childcare program at Acacia couldn’t be better too. We are thrilled with our decision to go to Acacia.

Kinda meh. I expected a lot more given the reputation of the school district, but there is nothing special here.With taxes what they are here, you'd figure there would be the opportunity to do something unique and forward thinking in the Conejo Valley, but it's pretty standard fare.Spanish language class from the jump? Nope, you have to wait until 8th grade (meanwhile some schools in LA have dual language immersion from kindergarten). WAY too much homework every day, and even on most weekends.Some (most?) of the homework is clearly just busywork.Most teachers seem nice, but def not all.All of the work is assigned virtually through Canvas, so expect your child to be on a computer for hours on end every afternoon, staring into the screen, just a few clicks away from its distractions and temptations. Let's just say the middle-school mind is not well equipped to avoid such distractions. And rather than look for the solution to a problem in the actual textbook (even the online version), it is much easier for kids to just google it.Choir program lost its teacher to another local-ish school a few years back and hasn't recovered yet.Awesome crossing guard though who does a great job protecting the kids!

My experiences as a parent at WHS have been exceptional. We receive necessary information (email, phone call, text messages) on all relevant issues. My daughter enrolled in both AP and honors classes every semester and found these classes to be challenging. She does stay up late doing her homework and studies daily and still has enough time to participate in the after-school extracurricular activities. She was able to find time to hang out with her friends and have good social network and support. She's able to maintain high GPA from freshman to senior year and has been accepted to several UC. I admit WHS has a lot of kids from high-net-worth families with influence due to the area; however, many of these kids are polite and respectful. This was my biggest concern being that few parents I spoke with informed me of the predominance condescending kids at WHS due to their family wealth. I can assure you that this is just bad rumor. WHS does have few bad apples as with all public schools. Most kids are good at recognizing bad behavior and can easily ignore and avoid these misguided peers/children. Overall, I highly recommend WHS for the resources, staff, teachers, and safe learning environment.
