Senior: My experience here at University Preparatory has been a life changing experience. It is here where I found a place in which I was safe to be my true and athentic self. I learned so much here from my experiences at University Prep and it is an experience I wouldn't change for the world. The people here are amazing and you create relationships with staff that will last a lifetime. Where ever you go here you will find someone you can relate to or speak to with comfort. University Prep is so inclusive and shares and express alot of its values throughout its students. Though this school stresses the importance of excelling throughout your educational career, the school and the people running it stress the importance of extra-carricular activities. This school provides safe spaces for all athletes and people intrested in any school events and or culture.

Alum: My experience with Heritage High was truly a gift. While I struggled in school to understand and work, all and I do mean all, of my teachers worked with me so that I could improve. They challenged me, and worked to show me not only how to be a better student, but have a deeper empathetic understanding of both academics and others. The students I interacted with in clubs, lunch, and class we're intelligent, funny, and respectful of differing views and ideas.... Read 13 reviews

Alum: I was a student at Serrano High school for four years and enjoyed every experience. I participated in many clubs such as ASB, HOSA, and FFA. Each group taught me many different skills and gave me many learning opportunities. Every teacher I had was very supportive and only wanted the best for their students. It is a small school and so many of the students have known each other since middle school and elementary school. This created close relationships and bonds that will last forever....

Alum: Loved the staff, the staff is the flagship of this school, every single member is friendly, informative, and communicative, in terms of student activities, it could be better, and the facility is small, but not a lot of students go here so why need a large campus? Sports need to be improved, their own facilities need to be built instead of using others, hire more qualifies candidates for coaching spots. In terms of academics, the school allows dual enrollment, independent study, and in class options, they really strive for you to be a better student academically, and facilitators constantly touch base with you!...

Many students are able to be in college and a high school student at the same time. The amount of extracurriculars they have is terrific! Bullying, fights and negative incidents rarely happens....

Senior: Great school for Engineering and science exploration! It goes more in-depth within the science and engineering pathway. This school offers a program called PTLW which would be a helpful readiness for students who want to pursue those categories. Students who are interested in these sciences and engineering pathways will be more advanced when it comes to colleges.... Read 92 reviews

Alum: Galileo Academy is an excellent school. I attended this school from 3rd grade to 6th grade and it was such an amazing experience. All teachers are very kind and want the best for their students. Now that I'm in high school, I still review my notes from 6th grade because the prepping for the world beyond elementary school is simply extraordinary.... Read 1 review

Senior: I am confident in saying this school is the best high school in my district. It is a genuine and welcoming place where it feels like there really is a spot for everyone. Compared to the info I have heard from friends going to other high schools in my district, Hesperia is much more organized and student-centered. I really feel like they care about the students and I had some teachers there that have really changed my life for the better. Because of the instruction and support I received at that school I now get to attend my dream college.... Read 380 reviews

Junior: My Experience at Encore High School has been very helpful and has been a learning experience for me. This high school isn't like an ordinary high school, Encore is an incubator of imagination. I have definitely grown as a person and I believe that it was the hep of the administration and staff. Educators at Encore definitely give us their 110% and care deeply about our education. The arts are what definitely give Encore its name, this school offers a wide variety of arts courses and training, it helps a person develop their passion and eventually gives the students an idea of what they want to achieve after high school. Academically and Artistically I have been an outstanding student, Encore does what they can to make sure that you achieve and that's what they did for me, I wouldn't be who I am if it weren't for Encore....

Junior: Hello. My name is Bless Parker-Hill. I am currently a junior at Riverside Preparatory High School, and I am going to express my feelings about the school! I have been going to RP since the 4th grade, and my experiences with the school have been very positive. One thing I really enjoy are the staff, the staff love to interact with the students, they love to make not only the new students, but all the students feel included. You also have many choices when it comes to your elective classes. You have classes like Medical Terminology; Choir; Journalism; Psychology; etc… In each class, you get to see a different way we interact with each other, and come together as a group. In addition, we have very fun activities such as Pep rallies ; Teacher pie eating contests ; Football tailgates, and so on. If you are more into the sports, RP has it all. Our sports include soccer, basketball, wrestling, volleyball,football, and track and field. Riverside Prep is a super cool school. Thank You!!... Read 228 reviews

Sophomore: I absolutely love my new school! I have attended Mirus for about a year and I knew right away that it was the school for me. It is really learning forward, the teachers and staff are so sweet and very helpful. The only thing about it that I would like to see changed is that not all the Honors or AP courses are able to be on book or paper. Also, there are not very many extracurricular activities. Other than that, everything is great.... Read 10 reviews
