Southwest High School

• Central Union High School District, CA
• 9-12
• Rating 3.69 out of 5  313 reviews

Senior: My experience at Southwest high school was good. They offer many programs for students to allow them to thrive in school and study areas that interest them. I love animals and drawing, so I joined the El Centro FFA program so I could continue raising dairy cattle, through FFA I volunteered to raise a Guide Puppy for the Blind which was a great experience, and I joined SAVAPA which is a fine arts program in our school for students who thrive in creative environments. Through these programs; I made many new friends, I expanded my social skills, and I learned new things about each program. At the start of my Junior year of high school, I had the opportunity to join our school's new International Baccalaureate Diploma Program which focused on helping students improve their education and prepare for the real world. I made many new friends in the IB Diploma Program and it helped me come out of my shell.

Calipatria High School

• Calipatria Unified School District, CA
• 9-12
• Rating 3.62 out of 5  102 reviews

Alum: The overall Calipatria High experience as a student is very great. One can easily get involved in sports, clubs, and other extra curriculars. The staff and teachers are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, one major are in which the school is lacking is university preparation. A lot of resources are provided for students who are falling behind, and in my experience as a top student applying to multiple four-year universities, not much help was provided. Staff would give reminders such as "remember to do your fafsa", but were not as helpful as when helping students who fell behind. Also, there was only two classes out of my entire high school career which challenged me. It is not very academically rigorous.

Holtville High School

• Holtville Unified School District, CA
• 9-12
• Rating 4.02 out of 5  59 reviews

Niche User: If you enjoy having a tight knit community, Holtville High School would be a good fit. There are many sports for students to chose from however, there are not many options for classes or clubs. There is few AP classes offered on campus but the school allows students to take AP classes online at freedom academy. Staff at Holtville High School is very helpful. The main downside is the lack of variety for classes and clubs, although this isn't much of a problem unless a student is looking to apply to a very competitive university. If this is the case, the school has provided a good solution with the option to take additional classes at freedom academy.

Calexico Mission School

• Private School
• CALEXICO, CA
• K-12
• Rating 4 out of 5  16 reviews

Senior: In my experience with Calexico Mission School all these years from attending from fourth grade to now my Senior year, has been excellent. All these years I've been there, they've helped me a lot into growing into the person I've become. I have nothing but good things to say except that their college readiness could improve and so could their clubs and activities. Some years ago they had may different clubs in which students could sign up and express themselves in which they could, but they sadly took that away. If the administration could possibly bring back any club that could be added into a students transcript would help a lot in a students college journey. Aside from what they could improve, Calexico Mission School teachers and students have this special connection that I've never seen before and is rare. They care about each other in a way that you could call the school a family.

Alum: My time in Calexico High School was pretty fun. There was so much going on everyday of the week! There were dance contest, singing contests, poetry contest. There were clubs all around school such as art club poetry club and more. There was always something to do in that school, and it was very welcoming to changes. Actually, now the school has changed. There is new buildings around campus. they have also repaired many old buildings and restrooms. it actually makes me jealous of the generation that get to be in these new buildings, but I'm happy because my year was part of the making of changes that have been made to the school.

Desert Valley High School

• Brawley Union High School District, CA
• 9-12
• Rating 5 out of 5  1 review

Niche User: I spent the last two years there and it was awesome the classes are super easy and the teachers are really nice and cool. Some of my favorite memories are from those two years. Very small school, very small classes which meant more one on one time with the teachers. And at the end of the semester we would get ice cream. When you are a senior you can graduate early and we have a barbecue. I wish I could go back and do all my four years in that high school. It was the best time of my life so far.
