Great district focused on academic achievements! Throughout my years with this district I have felt pretty safe and included. Though they hype sports more than the arts, they still include many classes for students who are interested in this field. I also wish they spent a little more money on things like chrome books or any help for students, I am overall very happy I got to be part of this district.
At poway high school, there are alot of good aspects but there are also some more negative aspects of the school. Some things that I personally have enjoyed at poway high school are the teachers. My freshman avid teacher Mrs. Lockie really had a positive impact on me. She always made sure to personalize the class and to really help me and make sure that whatever I needed was taken care of. The poway high school campus is very welcoming as soon as you walk through the gates you automatically have a feeling of community and comfort. Students at poway high are for the most part very kind and stick together like a family, rarely you will find students that are mean but personally I believe that no one is ever truly mean just misunderstood. Poway high school also has many great sport programs, clubs, and fundraisers. On fridays when you are standing on the second story of the building when you look down you see a sea of green and grey school spirit. Poway high school is a family.
I went to PUSD from preschool to 12th grade. Elementary at MRES was incredible. It was a great childhood that I spent there. Amazing and kind teachers. A sense of culture and love surrounded MRES. OVMS was a good school, too. I made many memorable moments there. DNHS is a good school. There’s no sense of popularity hierarchy there which is nice. People do their own things, worry about themselves. At times it gets lonely. The staff for the most part was pretty good. I feel like there isn’t much preparation for college until it’s too late, when you’re a senior and scrambling to not fall behind. When you’re trying to figure things out. I worked for PUSD as a lifeguard which was the best job i’ve had so far. It’s a diverse community at PUSD, I enjoyed going there.
