The MUSD was average over all. We did not have a lot of college help or even extra curricular activities unless you joined a specific program such as AVID. When it came to foreign languages it was just French and Spanish and just in High school because it’s a graduation requirement. I would have liked more help starting from middle school because a lot of people including myself did not know what they wanted to major in. The schools are primarily Hispanic and many of our parents barely finished 5th grade if not did not finish any schooling. Knowing your options is very important especially helping with a career strategy, even financial aid or applying to a school.
Montebello high school has a lot of potential that hasn’t been discovered. At MHS discovering a good teacher with good skills is rare, but when found, it’s a very wonderful and ecstatic thing. However, with the teachers with poor teaching skills, the environment in which they teach in is very difficult and you get nothing of it. The students are mostly troublesome, and finding a student that cares very deeply about education is rare. The rules are the same as other schools and other districts. Like this rules, of course there are some I’d like to change. For example, the dress code. The dress code for girls, always tends to follow the patriarchal order of things. The rule of no tank tops less with a stray of less than two inches, is just ridiculous. Another thing I’d like to change is where the money gets spent. In MHS it’s obvious which sport if preferred, football, however, it’s only fair for it to be evenly distributed between all sports.
I felt like MUSD was a very encouraging and safe school district. Throughout my academic career K-12th I felt involved in my schoolwork and school activities & I also felt like my accomplishments were always being recognized which made me feel better + influenced my motivation to continue doing well. The only negative feedback I have is that during my battle with mental health & self harm, I felt like my 8th grade counselor didn’t care too much about taking the next step in my progress to a better mindset. She just brushed me off & wanted me to know that what I was doing was bad. Given, it was. But at the time I needed empathy and sympathy which I wasn’t getting from home. However, I was able to make it through and go to a 4-year college majoring in mechanical engineering. I credit my accomplishments to the amazing engineering pathways teachers at Schurr High School for both guiding me down the right path and caring about the well being at the same time. :)
