In the three years I've attended Paloma Valley, there have not been any problems that stood out from the norm of any school. The administration has always shown how great of a role model they could be through their attempts to encourage students through any and all struggles. The teachers and staff are open-minded when it comes to listening to a student and it gives off a sense of community which helps foster the idea that no one is alone (something vital to include in a high school). Distance learning especially has taken a toll on many students too which makes the constant motivational speeches and the mental health check-ins that much more important as well. I wouldn't change anything about the school itself though because either way every year the standards will change and the people there will come and go which means the only people who can make it better are the young staff who plan to stay.
I would consider Paloma Valley High School a provider of a basic high school experience. PVHS offers students the emotional growing pains of adolescence served with mediocre high school lunches in a not-so-bad learning environment. The academics are great, mostly due to the wonderful teachers who make it worth showing up. There are plenty of student lead clubs to participate in. There is school pride for just about every sport. The art, music, and STEM departments strive to bring out the best in their students. The diversity of the school grows every school year. However, in my personal experience, this school lacked in caring for students facing issues with bullying and harassment on campus: something that I hope has changed from when I graduated in 2017. If not, then I hope the school works on improving the lives of their students through their endeavors by targeting issues that entail bullying and harassment directly and offering support to students who have endured it.
Paloma Valley High School was a good school but it lacked in helping students with academics. As much as they would inforce security and things we couldn't do they should've also focused on what would help them educationally. Half the teachers there could care less if you learned the subject and few were passionate about what they taught you. But extracurricular activities like sports are very fun. There is a lot of football fanatics at our school and many come to see the games. I felt safe going to this school because of the amount of security we had. And in the four years that I was there I think I only witnessed one fight which made me happy because I knew of other school nearby would have fights almost everyday. But the school was also crowded you could see about 20 new faces everyday and when walking from class to class there was so many people it felt like we were in traffic. Overall, there were few teachers like my anatomy teacher who inspired me to go into the medical field
