Horrible school. please I hope everyone reads review before enrolling your kids!! they do not accommodate to students needs they do not care about your children safety nor education. From personal experience it’s unfortunate but I would like to let people know because I don’t want other kids to go through the same thing my kids had to endure while attending this school.

Bernal is a great school as long as you ignore all miscreants and those who vape. It should be a safe school unless you interact or are apart of the gangster crowd. I've grown emotionally and physically from this school, it's really strong in math and science. Most teachers care about you if you don't piss them off. The sports and clubs help you connect with new friends, track and field especially. Fights don't happen a lot during school hours. I do know many people who fight afterschool though, mostly over boys. Seventh grade ELA is kind of a weak spot, but history makes everything better (you have to be there to understand, it's so fun).

I have two teenagers attending Santa Teresa High School, and I can honestly say I've been very pleased with their school experience. It’s a great school overall, with a diverse student body, is a well-maintained campus, and while there is a noticeable pressure to maintain strong grades, it seems to motivate the students if anything to keep up with their peers. Like with anything in life you have to pay your dues, and being in high school is no different. If you study and put in the work your grades will reflect that. Students with failing grades may not be fully utilizing their resources correctly or are in need of some type of special education accommodation. From what I see many of the students at S T consistently perform well academically. I’ll admit that the homework load can be somewhat heavy, sometimes comparable to what I experienced in college, but it’s all part of preparing them for what is to come in the future.The guidance counselors are very friendly and knowledgeable. Any time I emailed their counselor she replied really quickly and was always happy to help. Both my teens are excelling in school and have great grades. Looking back, I’m really glad we decided to move to the blossom valley neighborhood and invest in the home, as the education they’ve received has been absolutely worth it. Initially, I considered sending them to Valley Christian, but after hearing so many positive stories from other parents whose kids had gone to Santa Teresa, I felt confident in my decision. Santa Teresa High School has set up my kids for success, so I highly recommend it. The neighborhood its located in is very nice too with a beautiful view of the hills. :O)
