Both of my children attended this school (2015-16 to 2017-18, and 2021-22 to 2023-24) and and we were very happy with their experience. There were a couple incidents and both were handled very well - administration acted promptly, communicated well, and followed up. I have not met the current principal, but the previous principal Mr. Clobes was the best administrator I'd seen at Central School District in a long time. We were sad to see him go. Aside from administration, the teachers are involved and passionate and the school has great programs. With all schools, I think it's important to remember that teaching is not an easy job and being an administrator is very stressful. Our school sites deserve our grace and gratitude more than criticism and negativity. More often than not, teachers and administrators are in the positions they are because of their passion about education and love for students. I am so grateful for the great schools in Rancho Cucamonga - specifically Dona Merced Elementary, Ruth Musser Middle, and Rancho Cucamonga High.

I know my kids are getting a balanced education of academics and character education.

Teaching: most teachers are great. Most give a good experience. There are teachers lacking the ability to teach on an interpersonal level. However electives are really fun and teachers seem to enjoy their students. Not too much to choose from for AP US hist. I hear that male teacher is really tough on the students and an extremely difficult class to pass. We do see a lot of help with the disability dept. Safety. There is good security at this school. Police and security usually act immediately; when there is a threat of any sort they are quick to act and do not take it lightly. Family engagement: I see this a lot as well. Parents are always encouraged to come to back to school nights. Football games and other events being held at school. I would like to see more programs being offered to our kids. Not all of them like swimming, baseball, football or cheerleading. As a parent I do not see many flyers for after school activities other than the usual listed. My niece graduated in 2013- enjoyed the school My nephew graduated in 2018- enjoyed going to the school. Overall good experience. My daughter - class of 2025; a junior; so far so good. An honor student with 4.2 gpa. States her electives are a lot of fun. She said: it may be a little harder for 9&10th graders but overall good. Hope this helps on giving a better perspective.
