My daughters are students at Providence High School. In the last few years the quality of the teaching staff has declined. The most experienced and loved teachers are leaving in droves every year. The teacher turn around rate is very high. The administration refuses to answer any emails from parents and the environment is shifting from a community model to a business model where everything is about donations and money. I used to love this school when the previous head of school was in charge the new head of school is ruining Providence.
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.
