I hate this school with a burning Pasion in my heart

Currently, a Senior at Silva who will graduate with a 4.2 GPA, and I can tell you this school has prepared me with a strong resume for college and even the workforce. Silva does give you a great insight into the healthcare field and, by the time you graduate, you will definitely have a decision as to whether healthcare is for you or not. The clinical rotations at Silva are great, since they let you shadow in actual hospitals and see procedures you would only see during college such as surgeries. In addition, some senior programs even let you shadow any physician you want. As a graduating Silva student, I have obtained healthcare certifications that will allow me to work in a decent healthcare part-time job during college while building my resume for medical school. Everyone else that says that "Silva is too hard", just doesn't have the drive or doesn't put in the work to make up for a good grade. Silva is definitely not hard, it only requires a bit of determination. If you are a person who tends to underperform or slack off in school with the childish excuse that "it's too much for my mental health" then, I can assure you, you will have a bad time at Silva because you won't take responsibility for your failures and will blame it all on your teachers or your nonexistent teeneage "mental issues".

The staff is rude. They always talk about bullying but I have witnessed teachers bullying the students and the principal does nothing, he says nothing, on the other hand he always takes their side. I think they would benefit from.changing up most of its staff from the front desk staff to the teachers and especially the principal.

Herrera's teachers are wonderful! Always available and ready to help the students. The only thing this school lacks is leadership. The administration is not strong and there is one office staff member that is rude and mean to everyone and does not have any customer service skills. Herrera has no parent involvement.

I enrolled two children here a few years apart and they had wonderful experiences participating in summer research programs, band, orchestra, math competitions and more. They made lifelong friends. They are both very well prepared for University and graduated high school with associate degrees.
