Providence High School is an interesting institution. It occupies a unique position among high schools in the San Fernando Valley - being a small, mediocre college prep school intimately attached to a healthcare institution. It certainly has it's problems - horrible food, virtually no school culture, extremely apathetic students, a significant divide between high-performers and low-performers (and social stratification in general), the wide variance in teacher quality, sub-par medical focus program, and questionable administrative decisions. Still, overall, it's not the worst option. It's certainly better than most public schools in the area. It has a burgeoning arts program, a steadily growing technology focus program, a rigorous (although not entirely efficient) college-prep infrastructure, and an impressive suite of honors and AP courses for a school of its size. My one major complaint is the cost. It is more expensive than attending a UC. Not the worst option.
Providence High School is a very tight-knit school priding itself in being college preparatory. However, from my experience, it has not stayed true to that title. My sister, an alumni, loved her experience with friends and some memorable teachers, but she and other alumnus have voiced how behind they were on the material when they got to college. As a current student there, I cannot say the same because I am not in college yet. But I can say that I am not surprised, considering the fact that far too many of my classes all we did was do busy work and rarely learned content throughout my education at Providence. Most teachers were incapable of teaching material thoroughly. The administration was no better; they do not take action for students' and parents' concerns as an administration should. Providence does have a very good tech and drama department. They are also pretty advanced in technology. If you want the ultimate and best high school experience, this school is not it.
Honestly I think this is one of the most inclusive schools I’ve ever seen. This school has always been the right fit for me because of the activities they offer and council they also have. I was heavily involved in their drama and choir departments and it was the highlight of my high school career. These two activities always gave me something to do during the day and after school and helped me stay involved with things around campus. I would also say that going to Providence helped me shape myself into the person I am today. This came not only from growing but from the help of academic counselors and teachers found within Providence. The one thing I’d like to change about Providence if the fact that we are not a handicap-able school at all. No where in our school is there a ramp for someone with crutches or a wheelchair. We also do not have an elevator, I believe for our school to be even more successful in the future, Providence needs to look into installing those features.
