I was actually a member of the first graduating class of McBride High School back in 2017. From my experience at the school, I was very pleased with their "learn by doing" approach to academics, which may have been adopted from Cal Poly Pomona. Although the school was still getting established, the teachers and administrators were caring and passionate about what they do, and it really made a difference in the students' motivation! I left McBride High School grateful for the opportunity to pioneer something new and feeling ready for college!
Overall my experience has been super enjoyable throughout the past years. As an engineering student, the courses have been super enjoyable and I believe you have more opportunities for hands on learning and experience more than any other LBUSD school. Since my freshman year, ive been working in the engineering lab learning how to use the wide variety of machines and tools, ranging from a hammer to manual lathe. The reason I took down a star is that there is not many extra curricular activities available to students compared to other larger schools. However besides that, all of my teachers have been wonderful and super supportive, especially the ones you have multiple times. (shoutout Mr Olmedo). If you are even slightly interested in pursuing engineering as a career, I HIGHLY recommend attending McBride High School (and join the solar boat club)
As a junior at McBride High School, I would consider my time here as time well spent. Whether it is engaging learning environments, useful/informative clubs and activities, or finding a way to make new friends, there are always opportunities. McBride is small relative to many high schools in LBUSD, allowing more opportunities to for students to shine and develop among their peers. The three pathway system McBride follows is another upside, as it brings students close to their dream jobs in a way no other high school can. As an Engineering student, I've had the ability to work with 3D printers, HAAS machines, as well as 3D modeling software that I would never even KNOW about at a traditional school. All in all, McBride shines in allowing students to experience life-long skills that other schools simply can not provide.
