Sierra Vista High School Reviews

 
Hi, my name is Christian Meraz, and as a Freshman here at SV, I think it's a great school. Although labeled 'ghetto' by many people, it is on the contrary. There is so much to do that you'll never be bored. I participate in the school band and Drumline. It always keeps me busy keeping my grades in shape and keeping me out of trouble. For all incoming freshman, I highly recomend this school. Class of 2011

As a student I think this school is great. Though many people label it as 'ghetto'. No i like it and the Avid program is a natioal demo school. The only thing I do not like is the new 'houses' I think that its just a way of segregating kids with only the 'smart kids' or the 'trouble maker kids'.

I think this school is the best of the two. It offers young adults the opportunity to excell in academics and improve their community involvement. Also it has great teachers, that care about the students. Also it has a great sports program of the two high schools, and its football program is the greatest with the coaches being the best. Its coaches care about the program and kids, both on the varsity and the freshmen level. They will help the kids succeed in life, both on and off the field. Also an awesome football booster club that wors with the program too.

Sierra Vista is the better of the two h.s. in Baldwin Park. It offers more rigorous academic course work, but many students are unmotivated. The honors students excel, the low skilled students fail, and the middle are floating. I don't think this group has been addressed and technology is not widespread for the 21st century high school student. Positives are that teachers do care and that the new administration this year has made a positive difference. This school is definitely improving..

Its a really great school. Any new freshman to come will enjoy being at sierra vista. The peers, teacher, and staff are very helpful and friendly. The academics are top rated.

This school lacks qualified teachers or consists of very 'relaxed' teachers. School also lacks formal guidelines and policies, hence parents, children and even the faculty does not know what to do about daily humps and bumps along the way. The parent meetings and open house schedules are not made to fit into the lives of working parents either.

I think this school has knowledgeable teachers who care about their students success. the career counsler is great at giving and helping students with grant/scholarship information. I was really surprised to see how much money students who applied themselves received.

There is a new principal starting off the 2005-6 school year who used to be the principal of Northpark high school, the continuation school in the district. All of the assistant principals are new to the school as well. This could be an interesting year as the teachers are great and caring, and you never know what a new administration will expect.

The school is rather small campus-wise. The campus itself looks like a jail with its enclosed fences. The class sizes are a bit average, and the sports programs are a bit lacking. There are a few excellent AP teachers which make up for the rest who appear to not be as concerned about the the bridge between high school and college.

I think that the school was great! It has lots of good classes for students to choose from! The staff is a really good group of people and are really helpful to there students!

I also am not a parent, but a former student, and I loved S.V. I agree with the people who say your high school experience is what you make of it. I graduated at the top of my class, took all the AP classes available and was editor in chief of the school newspaper. I then went on to graduate from UCLA. I attribute everything I achieved to the wonderful teachers and opportunities I found at Sierra Vista. If you try to focus on the good and not on the bad, you'll find a world of opportunity at Sierra Vista. I did. Thank you.

sierra vista is an excellent school. i graduated from there as well as six of my siblings. my so
