Borrego Springs High School

As a graduate of this school, and successful college man, I know that BSHS did not adequately prepare me. I tested into Math 10 and Spanish 101, even after four and two years in each of the respective studies. The leadership at BSHS is drowned out by all the inadequate teachers. The History, Spanish and Math departments are literally a joke; nothing good comes from a year spent in those classes. While many of the teachers care, others are downright pathetic, insulting students and degrading them because of their inability to keep their tempers in check. AP classes cater to the unintelligent and the bright students are forced to deal with the inadequacies of others. The acceptance of certain students' lack of respect and ignorance of their detraction from the class performance leads to a huge weight placed on the shoulders of even the better teachers at the school.

This school caters to the unintelligent and makes it unable for the brightest to shine. History, Math and Spanish departments are all a joke. While Football will never be cut from the school's offerings, many of the texts are out of date and need updating according to California law. Misspending of appropriated funds and dismissal of in-class problems as normal ocurrences makes BSHS a difficult place to succeed, regardless of intelligence.

Best School in San Diego County. Teachers really care...teacher/student ratio is great and if your kids want to play sports, they can.

The faculty & staff are helpful. The atmosphere is safe and welcoming. The main concentration is on 'english learners' so if that's not what you need, be prepared to fall in the cracks.
