I really enjoyed my time at Redwood. There are a lot of advanced placement classes and most of the teachers genuinely love teaching.
The education at Redwood High Schools is great. The curriculum induces the brain with new skills of thinking, analyzing, creativity, etc. One con about this school is the people. It is very clique based around status, looks, and lifestyles which creates barriers within the community.

Overall Redwood is a very good high school. We have access to the wellness center which is a great resource for students suffering from any mental condition. My experience with teachers has been mostly positive with a few exceptions. I think the extracurriculars and sports are also very good, there's a wide array of clubs and pretty much any popular sport you could think of. One thing that's been going downhill steadily though is the food. I understand that with California's new law, the school has less money to fund the food, but the food at Redwood is horrible to be completely honest. Overall, its a great school.
Redwood high school is one of the best high schools in the country and it prepares students for college very well as it provides access to all sorts of resources such as chrome books, a library, and strong administrative staff. They also provide miscellaneous AP exams and all sorts of help surrounded around them so you can succeed. Lastly, for the majority, the classes are rigorous which is imperative in order to be prepared for college rigor and increased study load.
The education is very good, overall nice teachers and nice campus. The main flaw is the lack of diversity.
Redwood High School is overall a fantastic school. The teachers and students truly push you to excel and help you for the future with college. With regular classes, ap classes, sports, clubs, and more, Redwood wants you to try your best in everything. And if you need it there is a supporting hand.
It's a very academically oriented school that is very white. The campus is quite boring, but I enjoyed my 4 years at Redwood High School.
i entered redwood as a sophomore and am leaving as a senior. the academics are good and there are lots of opportunities if you go looking for them. Most of the teachers are of very high caliber and are very friendly
Redwood High School is an amazing public school that pushes students to thrive academically. There are a range of AP courses that are not only doable, but very informative and helpful for those going to college. Redwood is a large school which does make it difficult to connect more individually with staff. With this being said, it is also easier to find those you have commonalities with as the student body is so large. The sports teams at Redwood have a long history of succeeding and create a great fan atmosphere around the school.
Decent public school. People sorta suck but the teachers are good. facilities aren’t great. If you want help academically you need to work hard to get it, it’s not readily available.
I was a sophomore transfer into this school and ended up leaving in second semester. many of the teachers are horrible and don't care what so ever for the students. although, I had two teachers, Ms. D and Ms. Curtaz, who changed my life forever. as far as students, they all suck. there is an extreme sense of entitlement in the students and they waist no time putting others down for their economic standing. there is a large culture of racism, including may white students saying the N word! the administration has predispositions on a small group of individuals on campus. as being a part of that group, everything I did was taken as a threat and I was followed around by school security. if your child is not white, rich and/or has mental health issues,(such as anger, depression, bipolar, etc.) this is the worst possible school your child could attend.
The academics are rigorous and I felt extremely prepared for all the AP tests I took. I felt like I was constantly being challenged, which was stressful but I felt like I grew as a student. Redwood is a highly competitive academic environment, which definitely took a toll on my mental health, especially during college application season. Redwood has very little diversity, and there are a lot of stuck up, white, rich, out of touch kids here. Overall, though, my experience at Redwood has been valuable and I feel like I am ready to tackle college and beyond.
What I liked about redwood would have to be the attention given to students teachers, also the wellness center provided for the students at redcwood. Some not so great things would have to be the mass majority of white students and not many students that are bipoc.
It has great math and science department, the language department is weak however. Furthermore, the sports are very strong and there is good support for all the teams at the school.
Overall, I like the variety of people that attend this school. While it may be difficult to make friends at times, there are people who are amazing and really care for one another. The teachers love the students and really care about how they are doing.
Redwood was like a second home to me! The teachers and the staff that are there make you feel safe and welcome. If you had the choice of here or another school I would 100 percent go to Redwood
