    I go to Diamond Bar High School, and honestly my district is so competitive. So much so that the teachers have too high of expectations from us: especially because I take honors and AP courses. Of course, taking hard classes comes with hard work but sometimes these teachers go a little too far with the workload as many of my peers pull all nighters after all nighters. Everyone is very involved and sleep deprived, which contributes to a pretty downgrading atmosphere in class. Not to add, it’s so competitive that a vast majority have found pretty extreme ways to cheat such as buying tests from tutoring centers.
    Walnut Valley Unified School District has definitely prepared me for my time in college. The teachers would really help and prepare students for the rigors of college by assigning work to us that would are roughly around college level. I can’t thank the staff enough for what they have done to prepare us for our futures. Aside from academics and college readiness, there was a wide variety of clubs that students were able to involve themselves in. The atmosphere was very positive and the student population was very diverse. There are plenty of sports for students to join. Overall, my experience with this school district was fantastic, however, the only reason I did not give it five stars was the food quality and selection had a lot of room for improvement. Furthermore, Walnut Valley Unified School District was an amazing stepping stone to my future, and can definitely be a stepping stone for future students as well.
