The 5 star reviews for Penngrove were based on the old Principal that left. Unfortunately the new Principal, Carly Harp, from Rohnert Park Schools, is unqualified, and it shows. The front office staff doesn't even compare to previous years. They are untrained and too distracted with gossip instead of caring for the kids. There are some teachers that are good but under poor leadership shows. The kids that misbehave have no consequences and the other 80% are left to fend for themselves. If you have a child with behavioral issues this school may be the best option with how it is run. The school yard is a free for all and again under poor leadership shows. Too many children are now enrolled at Penngrove and Carly Harp plans to keep it that way. Staff is too concerned with making sure they cover their tracks. There is no accountability. Parents have to constantly fight for their kids. Many long standing families left the school. Go to another school!

Daughter felt uncomfortable, as a person of color she was discriminated and made fun of.. she was not being supported throughout her high school journey

I don't recommend this school to anyone. I had okay-ish grades, but the teachers were rude, and the students were bullies. I have been pushed, shoved, verbally abused, and jumped before at the school. I even told a staff member that I was being followed by a group of kids trying to jump me and they told me "Just go to class your fine." I have been down on the blacktop and witnessed a fight happen and after the staff member got them off each other he just walked away. This is so disappointing for me as a student to not feel safe in my own school. I will not be returning and will make sure to tell people about this experience that I will never forget. I had to change my number from all of the hate calls I was getting. I fear walking alone in petaluma because of the kids. The fact that when I told teachers and staff no one bothered to help is so sad.
