Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District Reviews
PYLUSD also offers many options for the various ways students and families choose to learn. Traditional in classroom learning, accredited homeschool and virtual Online/Hybrid learning. Parents have the choice to find the right fit for their student and family.
As a parent volunteer in PYLUSD for over 25 years I have always been impressed by the PYLUSD being proactive in leading in updating classroom technology, providing equity in resources across the district's 34 schools, and recruiting quality teachers and staff.
