Safety is a huge concern. Fights on campus almost daily. A staff member was hospitalized this year trying to break up a fight. Vaping is rampant and in the bathrooms constantly so other students are afraid to use the restrooms because they don't want to be caught in a sweep and accused of vaping. It seems the students who are there, just trying to get an education and enjoy their high school years, are suffering due to the students who can't follow the rules and don't seem to be stopped or punished for their behaviors.

The teachers are open and caring. Many of them are there long after school ends. They offer free tutoring. My child's classroom has many different, interesting and creative approaches to learning.

If you have the opportunity to send your child here, I strongly encourage you to reconsider. This has been one of the most disappointing school experiences for our family. The principal (V.A.) has shown very little support for students and families. During her time at San Juan High School around 2017, concerns were also raised, and unfortunately, similar patterns seem to continue here.My child attended this school and experienced ongoing bullying from 6th through 7th grade. While his teachers were supportive and advocated for him, the administration failed to take meaningful action. Instead, he was blamed for being quiet and not standing up for himself. He is a well-behaved student who rarely has issues, yet the situation remained unresolved.After multiple attempts to contact the school with no response, I had to escalate the matter to the district. Only then did communication occur with the school administration. No family should have to go through that level of frustration to ensure their child’s safety and well-being.Additionally, teacher turnover has been high, and since this principal’s arrival, several excellent teachers have left. Another major concern is the lack of language support for families who speak Spanish, Russian, or other languages. Despite a diverse school community, meaningful multilingual support is limited, and underpaid staff often step in informally to help families navigate communication barriers.Overall, this school has lacked administrative responsiveness, adequate support systems, and inclusive family communication. I hope sharing this experience helps other families make informed decisions.
