I'm a senior this year, and I loved my time at SDA! If you're accepting, creative, and kind, SDA is for you. If you're really academic and are looking for a hs with a strong robotics club and teachers that enjoy chatting with you about class content, SDA is also the place for you! Not all of our sports are the strongest, but we have a few really competitive sports teams (like soccer and tennis). SDA is probably the least stressful school in the district, not because it's easier but because the teachers genuinely care about the students and want to set them up for success. Same with the faculty and staff. The principal and all the APs know the majority of the student body by name, and it's not weird for them to ask how you're doing. BIG surfer/skater community (but that could be more about location than school). I love that I can see the ocean from some of the classroom windows, too!
I really appreciate the accepting community that allowed me to become comfortable with the person I am. I also was able to develop a creative side through fashion, art and music which SDA promotes very seriously. I found that the teachers were all very kind and genuinely wanted their students to succeed. However, I believe that at SDA, the head staff jumped to conclusions in students and instead of supporting students through their difficulties, they punished them through suspension, detention and loss of privilege in order to avoid dealing with more "difficult" students. This is unfair to those who deserve a steady learning environment.
I really enjoyed my time at school here. I am a senior at SDA as I write this, and I am very glad I chose to attend SDA.
The community and atmosphere on campus is incredibly welcoming and accepting, and I was lucky to have access to a bunch of helpful resources on campus that I wouldn't have had otherwise. Namely the writing lab.
Most of my teachers were fantastic and were always available for one-on-one extra help for students. Of course there were a few exceptions here and there but that goes for any school.
The only reason I didn't rate my experience 5-stars is because communication from the administration left something to be desired. I know that I and many other students experienced frustration at the poor or even lack of communication during COVID-19 and when returning to school after the quarantine lifted. Many students (and even some teachers it seems) believed that their voices weren't exactly being taken into account by administration. And a lot of the time-- they weren't.
