Children easily fall through the cracks of education here. Work load too big for educators and staff

Arroyo Seco is an excellent school. These ratings do not really capture the energetic, committed, and loving teachers at this school. Like any school, Seco isn't perfect, but the administration over the years has done an excellent job of making improvements year to year. The co-taught courses, socio-emotional interventions, discipline & positive reinforcement plans, and the rich collaborative teaching environment engages every level of student. Arroyo Seco has a very active PTA so if you're interested in supporting students in after school programs, events, and so on, you should join. As they say, it takes a village. Our students are facing more challenges now than ever and the teachers and staff at Arroyo Seco have risen to those challenges. I believe in this school and it really is what we make it. As the school continues to improve, one area of growth is outreach to non-English speaking families. The school continues to work on this, but it is an area of improvement.

We're on our third year at this school, and the support and communication have been wonderful. Our child has grown immensely in his academic skills, and the character program has helped him grow socially, too.

My son has a good experience at this school. Teachers are involved and supportive.

I began my high school career at LHS and to say the least it was not for me. I was getting overlooked or only getting the wrong kind of attention. I felt i was on my own here. I finally switched Sophomore year and my outlook on school changed. I've never seen a group of people more invested in their jobs. Vineyard's curriculum is designed for you to work independently, yet I've never felt so supported in school. I've talked to other students and teachers and they confirm that all the teachers there are only there to ensure you succeed in whatever your path may be. They will lay out your graduation plan and set you up for success. I wasn't behind in my credits, however some students are on the verge of flunking out of high school and they end up with a 4.0 gpa. Not only are the teachers completely invested in you, but the office staff and counselors know your face, name, and how your doing in school. Every staff member bends over backwards for their students, it's like nothing I've ever seen before. They really care. I went back to visit last week, after graduation in June and Val, an office worker, while asking how I was remembered my name, and where I worked throughout highschool
