Whitney High School Reviews


Posted By: other Quality Score: decline 2008-10-12 “As of the 2008-09 school year, Whitney High school no longer offers AP English Literature. The school will only offer the standard level English for its seniors. The talk among most seniors is that this change was made to protect seniors who are not interested in pushing themselves by taking the hardest level classes available. By getting rid of AP, Whitney has essentially leveled the playing field but at the expense of not pushing the communities most talented students with the most difficult coursework.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-05-19 “I am a current student at Whitney and it rocks to be here. I have great friends and the teachers are really nice.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-01-12 “This school is the most awesome school out there. Usually, students just think of their teachers as teachers, but here at Whitney, students think of the teachers as friends and there are so many curricular activities like Faculty Follie where you see the teachers act crazy for only two dollars and all those ticket earnings goes to senior scholarships. Everyone in this school is super friendly and nice and you can immediately make friends on your first day. I can't wait to spend the next 6 years of my school life in the best school i have ever had.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-02-01 “I am a student currently attending whitney high. It is no doubt a school of excellence and acadamic excel. Parents need to decide between wellroundness and academic achievement, because Whitney is not for those who wish to excell in areas outside academics. Regardless of everything I love it here and it is very friendly and spirited place to learn.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2006-10-16 “Wonderful academic program. If you're looking for just academic achievement then Whitney is the place. Extracurricular activities, however, are abysmal. Students lack well-roundedness and only excel academically. Narrow-education school.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2006-05-24 “Academic programs are high quality, but focus on academics/college prep with little regard to well-roundedness. Lack of extracurricular programs. Competitiveness somewhat out of control, as students are geared towards achieving grades rather than knowledge.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2006-03-26 “Whitney has amazingly bright, intelligent students, an amazing student body with so much spirit and school pride, and teachers that go beyond the curriculum!” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2006-03-01 “The best public school that you can attend. Tight-knit and intimate, where the teachers and counselors really get to know the students. All the students are amibitious and hardworking.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2006-02-06 “By far the best public high school that students could attend. Academic programs excels in all areas as the evironment for learning is perfect.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-01-22 “Academic programs are good but not a varied selection. Competitive, with even mediocre students pushing very hard for grades. Grade inflation does take place. Poor athletic programs” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2006-01-07 “A school where the absolute atmosphere is to prepare for college. The peer pressure is to do well in school and to prepare for college.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-11-25 “The focus of Whitney is preparation for college entry, and it does a fantastic job at doing so. Students do quite well in a good learning environment. However, the availability of art and music programs is lacking. Athletic programs are not a priority although the opportunities are there. Highly competitive, sometimes unhealthily so.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2005-10-12 “The academic programs are great with lots of AP classes available, geared towards college entrance. It is lacking in sports since the concentration is on academics.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-09-04 “Top school in Souher California in my opinion. Teacher are very well rounded. Aca
