Mira Loma High School Reviews
Rating 3.74 out of 5 382 reviews
Mira Loma is a wonderful high school that is inclusive of all people regardless of gender, ethnicity, race, and sexuality. The best part about my experience at Mira Loma is that they offer endless opportunities to express yourself, whether it be through clubs or student government opportunities, or even individual opportunities. The teachers always love to help students in need and make sure that everyone obtains the proper resources they need to be successful. Some of the more worse parts at Mira Loma is that the school tends to give a bit more priority to honors/IB students, and I believe that non-IB students should have more priority as well and be offered similar if not the same resources to be successful. In regards to what I would like to see change, it would be wonderful to be more inclusive of various subjects when dealing with IB classes as the options are a bit limited.
I really liked the diversity throughout the students and faculty. I liked how much this school encouraged me to do my best, even when times were at their worst. Although there were lots of positives, a few negatives included basic aspects that would apply to most high schools. Some of the classrooms just seem very dull, along with several mean teachers. The opposite end of this is that there were also some amazing classrooms and learning environments, and some amazing teachers that have affected my life in drastic ways.
Mira Loma High School is well known for housing the IB program, something limited in our area. Academics are taken very seriously, and for the students in the program, there is a fun competitiveness regarding scoring well. Students are pushed to their academic limits and enjoy it, and prepare them well for college. However, students outside the program tend to struggle, outside of the IS and CTE programs also offered at the school. There are fights every day, and the students (outside of the advanced programs) score consistently poorly year after year. There are constantly fights, and the fire alarms go off often due to students smoking in the bathrooms. As well as this, the administration doesn't care much about extra curriculars. The arts have very little funding, and clubs are not treated with much respect. The sports at the school are mostly the worst across the league. However, there's lots of culture, mostly because of Sports-A-Rama, a lively sporty competition between classes.
