I go to Amador Valley High School, and I like how they have many programs with diverse interests. Their music programs are especially good; I'm in Symphony Orchestra and Marching Band. All the music students love our 3 music teachers at Amador. As for clubs, I believe there are about a hundred of them. Almost everything you can think of, there is a club for it. There are culture, arts, studying, mental health, community service, and STEM clubs. Our sports are also excellent, and many students are in a school sport. The academics are competitive, especially in the science and computer fields. Many of the AP classes have a stressful environment with students stressing about their grades, but the teachers help us destress and reassure us that grades are not the only factor that decides our future. Amador Valley is a safe environment, it is gated all around during school hours.
This school district has provided me with so much academic nourishment in all of my desired fields. There is a program, opportunity, and place for everyone! I am new to this school district, this being my first year, and I felt so welcomed and part of the community. All the teachers and staff are very personal with you and ensure you have the best experience possible.
Pleasanton Unified School District is often stymied by a lack of budget and tenured teachers that have lost their passion for teaching. Often times, students must be self-motivated to accomplish anything major within the school district. There is a severe lacking of parental involvement within the school system, from kindergarten to the 12th grade. Especially in high school, parents are often not supporting or helping out with important activities, such as STEM based clubs and performing arts programs. While there are a select few teachers that really open up the minds of students, on average most teachers are mediocre and don't inspire students to learn deeper than the textbook. There is also a severe disparity in academic performance, motivation, and social interaction between kids on an advanced track and students following a normal track.
