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.
I'd like to see more accountability of teachers' teaching quality. Teacher quality is mixed. Some of them are very dedicated and knowledgeable, some of them are very marginal and a few are quite awful. Their quality of teaching seems to not be monitored. Parents have to sign kids up for coaching or extra classes to supplement the lack of quality of certain classes. this may be a state wide issue but there needs to be a 360 review process for the teachers which link to the teachers' career path or pay. students participation in the 360 or random auditing should be implemented. Other than this, the district has excellent community support.
It was a refreshing school with a lot of diversity. Most of the staff cared about the students and the students were incredibly supportive of each other. Like any other high school, the negatives were the toxic environment created by the students surrounding education.
