Concerned and disappointed. After picking up my child from the school provided day care on campus my child informed me that another student spit in their hair. My child went on to explain that the other student did it intentionally from above. A third student witnessed the incident and informed my child that it was done intentionally. My child was hurt and mortified. The following day I discussed the incident with the school principal. I was completely disappointed with her lack of professionalism and any attempt made to follow up on the incident. I was informed by the principle that because the incident occurred at the after-school day care that she would not be following up on the incident or issuing any disciplinary action. I informed her that this is unacceptable and that I will require some follow up on this incident, the principle stated that she would have the after-school day care contact me regarding the issue. Unacceptable.

I am a former student of Temecula Valley High School, and while the school does have some strengths, there are also serious issues that should not be ignored.On the positive side, the school offers strong educational opportunities for students who actively seek them out. The AP classes are the highlight of the academic experience many of the AP teachers are knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely care about preparing students for college-level work. The school also has good sports programs and a wide variety of clubs, which gives students plenty of ways to get involved and build community.However, these positives are overshadowed by major problems within the school culture. Racism is a serious and ongoing issue, and it often feels ignored or minimized by the administration. Incidents are not consistently addressed, and there is a lack of accountability or meaningful action, which creates an unsafe and uncomfortable environment for many students.Additionally, while the AP program is strong, most non-AP classes lack motivation and support. Many teachers outside of AP courses do not encourage students to succeed or push them to reach their potential, which leads to disengagement. Students who are already struggling often fall further behind instead of being helped.Statistically, a concerning portion of students do not graduate, which reflects deeper systemic issues within the school. This alone should be enough to prompt serious reflection and change.Overall, Temecula Valley High School has potential and some excellent programs, but inequality, lack of support, and unaddressed discrimination significantly impact the student experience. Without meaningful reform and stronger accountability, many students will continue to feel overlooked and unsupported

TMS has been outstanding for our two children that have gone through it.
