I love that I attend this school because it is just a really accepting school and is all about inclusitivioty. Everyone at the school is connected and all feel welcomed. It’s a place where I look forward to going each day. I would fix the honor code however to keep more students aligned and responsible.
Redwood high school is a public school in rural Visalia, California. Redwood as over 3,000 students from grades 9-12. Although the ratio of students to teachers is 24:1, most teachers strive for personal connections with students to ensure a successful educational environment. The only issue is that, all teachers should be making those connections instead of “most”.
Redwood High School is an welcoming high school that is grounded in rich school tradition and history, high competitive sports, and teachers who only want the best of you. The teachers at my school not only want you to have a deep understanding of the material, but they teach life lessons. They make it a point that it is ok to be imperfect, and live a life according to passions you are interested in. Along with teachers, their are so many student run clubs, each with a successful history of wining several championships. Faculty, students, and teachers create an atmosphere where students have the freedom to pursue their passions and make a difference. Our school is known for being the best in the district for our academic and sport excellence. However, one thing that I would change about my school is for all teachers to remind students daily that “they are loved and valued.” Students need this support because it is easily to lose yourself in the process of constant achieving.
Redwood Highschool is definitely known for school spirit and for being very prideful. There is a ton of opportunities in clubs and sports.
Best school in the city by a wide margin! Great teachers, rich history, and school spirit is unrivaled.
I like that the school culture here is a result of years of building towards the idea that everyone should be included and everyone should try to get involved, regardless of how they look like.
It's filled with so much support and spirit. The students there are so nice and helpful. The teachers are so encouraging. They're always so supportive.
We have some amazing extracurriculars and teachers. It is very inclusive and accepting. I wouldn’t want to go to any other high school.
I feel so lucky to have been able to attend Redwood High School. The teachers and staff at Redwood genuinely care about their students and they teach well. Many teachers at Redwood have significantly high passing rates for students that take their class then take the AP tests. Redwood is a very big school which allows many opportunities to meet lots of different people. The entire student body is about 2,400 kids and is getting bigger as the years go on. There are many different clubs and extracurricular activities open and encouraged for any student to join. The school spirit at sports games and spirit rallies held in the gym are so fun to be a part of and I would recommend this school to any student that wants to feel a part of something.
Pretty good school compared to the other options in the area with good faculty and nice courses for the students.
I attended Redwood High. Like all schools there are a fair share of bad/average teachers. However some of my experiences have been second to none. A handful of my teachers have made me me, and overall the school is very good.
It's a good school. I've meet a lot of amazing people there. I has its ups and downs just like in every other school. Teacher here are real nice and care for their students. The staff is very supportive and nice with the students. I've made lots of good memories here. Love the activities they had planned for us over the years. I was really able to build up my confidence and search for help
I have been at Redwood High School for all four years. This school has really made my high school experience better because of their school culture. Overall, I have had many positive experiences here from academics to being involved in the extracurricular activities. The main thing that I appreciate about this school is that they try their best to always get everyone involved with school spirit and activities. There is always something for everyone with different interests and passions. There is not much I would change about the school. If I had to change something it would be to make the school bigger. Our school has the largest population of kids compared to other schools, and it would be very beneficial to expand the school for both the students and administration.
Redwood is a great school. There are many ways of interacting and an overall good environment. Though this is the case, I never felt completely content. I woke up every morning not finding that motivation inside of me to go to school. Every day the same, wake up, school, sports repeat. Where was the liberty? When did I have time to live? I did not feel the excitement, but stress and exhaustion. Every day I felt cramped in a small classroom. The room cold, staring at the clock and just waiting for that bell to ring. I couldn't bear to focus. I'd be up until 12 am the night before completed assignments then the next day be required to hold my full attention to the teacher. What I wanted was more liberty. To get fresh air, be able to step out and feel the wind on my back, use the restroom without having to ask or wait "10 more minutes" until the teacher would let me go. This was a great school but I didn't want to be so restrained. I wanted to have more time in the real world.
I definitely like Redwood. It is a school with a lot of spirit and all the teachers are there for you and want to see you succeed.
Redwood High school does an outstanding job in bringing spirit to students. When I was a freshmen I remember all of the rallies and how exciting they made us feel. I felt proud to be part of this school. As I continued my high school years I realized that Redwood has a culture. Its not just at rallies or home games but as a whole school, there was pride and joy. Students, staffs, and teachers were happy to be there. However, just like every institution they also have their faults. The students were proud to attend this school but the spirit out shined the under lying issue of student diversity. As a minority myself I experienced some bigotry. I know many students minorities, LGBTQIA, and students with health problems also being discriminated towards. This issue was brought to staff members and talked about to the whole school. But, never fully resolved because the students were not disciplined. Redwood could definitely work towards creating a safe environment for all students.
Redwood High School is pretty average. The teachers are either 1. amazing and love what they do, or 2. really mean and clearly hate their jobs. Bullying runs rather unchecked, and the admin really only care about keeping us in school for attendance. They really don't care much about the students, but at least the teachers and other students care. Once you find the right people and activities, it's a great school. The spirit is unmatched by anyone else in the district.
