Overall PVPUSD staff are concerned with addressing the needs of the "whole child", academically, physically and emotionally. We have been blown away by how our kids felt valued, especially at Peninsula High School. KUDOS!
PVPUSD was a great experience throughout all 4 years of studying, participating and enjoying high school. The academics were challenging and the competition was fierce. The 4 years taught me discipline and integrity as the intangibles of going to high school in Palos Verdes Estates as a student learning and identify who I was. The inner person and the struggles taught me I could overcome any obstacle. Friendships and relationships with teachers would not let me fail. As cadres my teacher would teach and I would learn the necessary tools to guide me to graduating not just in school but as life lessons as well. I would recommend this school district to other parents considering moving to Palos Verdes. The parents of the students were a huge factor in deciding whether my family moved from Roland Heights to Palos Verdes in 1988. Our neighborhood greeted my family with open arms and took part in my experience as a student and friends of the neighborhood.
Peninsula has a lot to offer academically, which is great to see since prior to my middle school. There's a lot of opportunities that are fun and challenging. The downsides are the athletics programs don’t have a lot to offer. I feel if they took the volleyball more seriously we would have more wins and more opportunities. It’s hard to want to win, but they let anyone that doesn’t work for playing time. I also wish there was a beach volleyball team like PV or Redondo. The diversity is also really low compared to my middle school, I understand it’s a different area but you can clearly see when someone stands out. Either than the cons, the pros have a lot of benefits and I would love to see what the future holds.
