Rating 4.22 out of 5 206 reviews
My time spent in the Irvine Unified School District was enjoyable. Each year I learned something valuable and educational. I'm glad to have met the people and friends who are still with me today from meeting them through my classes from Elementary to Highschool. The safety I felt while attending the district was excellent, and the teachers who helped me throughout the years were helpful and caring. Though there were times when I felt that a few teachers did not seem to have the same connections as others, I still managed to get the support I needed through other resources. Something I may like to see changed would probably be the school lunches and the school itself having more funding. I noticed the schools wouldn't be able to do an event or an activity because of the lack of funding, and there were times when we were supposed to hold a fun trip but were canceled with insufficient money. I do hope future classes would be able to do what my class wasn't able to get done.
Throughout my K-12 years with the Irvine Unified School District, I have been surrounded by the people I can trust to guide me through my academic journey. Teachers and counselors are able to provide the help I need WHENEVER I need it (whether that be academically, mentally, or financially). In addition, our united Vaquero community brings students together of similar interests in the best clubs, sports, and on-campus activities. The only thing I would change about the Irvine Unified School District would be to increase the number of Advanced Placement and Honors courses offered to high school sophomores and juniors. By having a broader selection of AP courses, it will better prepare students for college. Overall, the Irvine Unified School District is the place to be! Thank you for reading this rating. I hope you found it helpful.
I like the diversity that has been shown at every school I have been to. Having people like me at school has been a good way for me to make friends and has also exposed me to different people as well. At my current school, I enjoy the culture of working hard in academics, because I seem to work harder in response. Something I would like to see change is the drug abuse on campus. Vapes are being passed around in bathrooms, which is not something that should belong in an academic setting. Something I also do not like is the lack of policies toward. change. I, with others, have been trying to start a new badminton league in Irvine, as have other high schools, the leaders of which I know already, yet it seems so difficult to make it happen.
