I don't know where to begin. My daughter's teacher was mediocre at best. She barely communicated. Their attendance policy is strict. Excused doctors notes mean nothing. My daughter was in and out of Arnold Palmer throughout the year because of break through asthma attacks and other issues. No one wanted to reason with me, so we're going back to her previous school. So note, if your kid gets sick often, this isn't the school for you.

The students here are disrespectful, it makes it so difficult to focus on things with disabilities, teachers practically ignore the signs of struggling students due to the fact half of them wanna spend more time with the “bad” kids, specifically the kids that love to talk and somehow get away with even doing their assignments but of course the teacher will boost the deadline further ahead for them even if they wasted time not doing anything.Some of the administrators are even extremely disrespectful!! There could be a situation within the school where a student accidentally came to class late due to a personal issue they cannot control and the teacher could write them up for it, the student could try to speak about it and try to handle the situation without a write up / referral but the administrators will immediately defend the teacher and blame the student for said issue they are unable to control! If it was a female student that has hit their menstrual cycle they couldn’t care less about it and still write them up for it! But if it’s a male student coming to class and an administrator sees them within the hallways, they won’t say a word and nor will the teachers! Lockdowns are basically an occurring thing now a days if I’m being honest, they keep us in classrooms but barely give us updates on what’s happening which ends up scaring a few students in the process.“We care about your mental health” but will immediately ignore the signs of bullying which may even cause a student to harm themselves or possibly worse! They have posters around but clearly couldn’t care less about a student which isn’t even surprising! Students are constantly struggling with piles of work and tests while being pressured about having good grades and trying to not get summer school or be held back, that makes a child’s mental state even worse for them to handle. They wonder why students sleep so much in their classrooms? Because half of them are up working on assignments! Yes some stay up if they want to but most of the time it’s also students trying to complete work before a deadline hits!This place sucks and it’s even coming from an ex-Eastridge student, and that school is HORRENDOUS.Better stick with online school than coming here.
