I have been frustrated with math classes especially, since Middle School for being placed in level below my ability. Despite my desire to advance to higher level, there seems to be no effort to encourage or push academic ability beyond the place I was locked into. For this reason and others, I was happy to transfer out of the traditional "big schools" into the alternative independent study program at Tamiscal High School (within the district). There, I have been listened to and encouraged to excel. The small class sizes, and even the online learning have prepared me for the new world of online school due to the pandemic. Simultaneously, I have been able to take community college classes and work in internships which are consistent with my career objectives. These are the strengths of Tamiscal's alternative programs, and what has helped me to thrive. I'm in a program that is right for me, in classes and in internships that I love, making friends and finding my direction.
Marin County has a very "woke" population, but the school chronically underserves students of colour. Programs developed for students with an atypical learning style, originally designed to help students of colour, have lost their original purpose.
Tamalpais High School is a very well funded school with great teachers and access to great resources like computers and art supplies. The programs like the drama and computer science ones are excellent and provide plenty of support for students looking to learn more.
The problems with this school are the lack of diversity and the level of caring that students show. First of all, the school is almost 85 % white, so it difficult for students who are a racial minority. Second, the school is rampant with students who do not try, but still demand high grades, and then whine and complain when they receive a B.
However, even with those negatives, the school still offers a top notch education for a public school and students who go here are blessed with such a good education.
