My Freshman year was pretty awesome. At the beginnig i thought the school was unsafe and that it needed lots of work. (construction) But as i got more involved in school, my grades improved, the teachers were very incouraging and supporting throughout the whole year. There wasnt that much violence like the previous years. The school is improving alot like teachers ,activities, curriculims,sports, teachings and the schools appearence is looking way better. Personally i have improved alot thanks to San Jacinto High. i Started from a 2.89 and finished with a 4.0.

I am very unhappy with this school. The school's main priority is sports and the academics are inflexible. This school is not safe at all either. If you are a parent moving into the southern California area, please move to Murrieta and Temecula for better public schools. If your teenager is looking for preparation for the future, you aren't going to get it here.

Teachers seem to be adequate, classes are decent. School is run down. My daughter has been there 6 months and is very unhappy. I wish I would have done more research on this school, would have chosen somewhere else to buy a house. Considering home schooling. I feel guilty for making my daughter attend this school. The school's main focus is sports.

My son participated in football and track. I found the sports activities to be adequate although improvement is needed. One of my children was in the chess club and enjoyed it. I felt that the music program was good and liked the sports programs although the selection of sports was very limited.

My son had a quality freshman year. Staff is heavily tasked, yet makes time to work with parents. All teachers worked very well with us, and were instrumental keeping my son on the right track. San Jacinto High offers an outstanding college jump start program through Mt. San Jacinto College. Our son will be taking Intermediate college algebra, and has the potential to graduate with an Associate Degree. Its a rough school, however the district seems to be commited to making it as safe a campus as possible. Son is excelling acedemically, playing football, loves school. I think that says it all

If you want you child(ren) to go into college choose another school, move if you have to.

This school has been going through many changes. There are strong teachers at the school that have provided excellent support and caring to my children that have attended. There could be more programs for gifted students but they do have an AP program.

I am proud to be a teacher at San Jacinto High School! I currently have a niece and a nephew attending. In the past, we have had five nieces and nephews here. Our site is under construction and is in the process of being remodeled. During the growth process - we have growing pains and I am constantly impressed with the maturity of the students and the patience of the teachers!

My son is now at San Jacinto and my daughter just left San Jacinto and on to college. I feel that San Jacinto is on a recovery mode. Past years have not been all that great. New district staff has started to focus on the issues that needed to be addressed. I feel that the next few years will be good for San Jacinto High. They have built more grammer schools and giving the high school a new face lift. Acadimics have also been addressed this year. I feel very confident that San Jacinto will be a geat school for our childen. Keep the good work up staff and District.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to test high school students' skills in English language arts and mathematics. The results for grade 10 students taking the test for the first time are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The CAHSEE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of California. Students must pass all parts of the CAHSEE in order to graduate from high school. If they do not pass it the first time, students have multiple opportunities to retake the test. The goal is for all students to pass both sections of the test.
