The school is very welcoming! Students and Staff are always on team "you" and support you in any way needed. When it comes to personal life, counseling, teachers, and friends are by your side to guide and support you. There's really such a wide variety of class choices and many fun electives to choose from! The classes are tough and challenging, but that's what students need to prepare themselves for what's down the road they choose to take. From College Prep to Advanced Placement classes, each supports students in ways possible to help them pass their next exam!
I’ve been attending San Luis Obispo High school since 2019. My experience has taught me a lot about keeping up with the world (Nationwide News). It has shown me how to adjust to different learning styles, what topics I want to go in more depth with, and how to stay motivated. Once COVID hit teachers did absolutely everything they could to support and care for their students; If that meant accommodations on work you got it. When we were allowed to come back to school you could feel the excitement of the teachers, even if it wasn’t “normal” they were happy to be with their students. Personally, I’ve had such a great experience with staff and fellow classmates.
SLOHS is a good high school, and in terms of education, for the most part it was of decent quality. Though not perfect, the things I personally enjoyed was the AG department and the trimester system, along with the option of going off-campus. Expected in San Luis, there was a lack of ethnic diversity and the school felt rather racially divided, but the school could not do much to help with the lack of diversity due to the surrounding area. It often felt that relationships with teachers were surface level and that if you had any trouble in a class, it was because you “weren’t paying attention.” My last complaint was the constant construction on Campus, and though I am sure it will be wonderful for future students, it was an inconvenience having to take longer routes due to the ongoing construction. However, SLOHS offers a variety of options for sports, clubs, and classes, and I am lucky to have been able to go to school here.
