Environmental Charter High School Reviews

What I liked about Environmental Charter High School is that the teachers prepare their students for college. Although the reduced lunches were not my cup of tea, the academic background provided for the students is great. The policy that every student must follow annually, in order to graduate is to be accepted into a four year university. Not only are the students mentally challenged to get into a four year university, they are preparing for the real world of living independently with little to no help from their parents. I thank Environmental Charter High School for preparing me for college because without the rigorous courses and teaching methods, I would not have been prepared for the college experiences that I have surpassed already.

During my High school experience at this school, I experienced a lot of growth more than I ever expected. The classes, work, and requirements all prepare students for their future in college. The amount of support, open-mindedness, understanding, resources, and aid that teachers and counselors offer is more than a student could ask for. I always felt safe and accepted at this school and I always had a little push from someone to do better as a student, and community member.
The number one thing I personally like about Environmental Charter High School is the college readiness support they offer to each and every one of their students. Throughout my experiences at this high school I always received the college readiness support I needed inorder for me to be prepared to attend a college university. For example, as a senior at Environmental Charter High School, I currently take a senior seminar class which my teacher and her assistants offfer the college readiness support my peers and I need to apply for college and financial aid. They did this by guiding us through the process of applying for the UC application, Common Application, FASFA, CSU Application, etc. One thing I would like to see change at Environmental Charter High School is a improvement in the school lunches they offer to their students.
