Ponderosa High School laid the foundation for my children to succeed when they attended Ponderosa and now that they are in college.
Two children through and on to university, one attending now. Great school for students who are high achievers.
The administration is terrible! They do absolutely nothing to help the students, nor parents! I use to love Ponderosa until I started having bullying/harassment issues at school... and Still ( A year and 2 months later) I am still having those same issues. The school does nothing! Its pathetic! However, the teachers at Ponderosa are the best! They are so nice and thier ways of teaching are amazing. They truely care about the students.
I have a daughter who just graduated from Ponderosa, and a son who is going to be a sophomore this year and they are enjoying high school to the fullest. Best group of kids around! Wonderful parent participation!!
Ponderosa is an excellent high school. I've had two sons attend and the academic offerings are fabulous. I found the staff overall to be fabulous, especially in the advanced classes.
Don't expect to get any help from the principals. This school is not safe. a lot of gang kids go here watch out.
There is a lot of parent participation. The students are good kids.
We moved from the bay area about 2 years ago. My child attends Ponderosa, and I have never been happier. This was the best move! The school is awesome!
My twin sons are graduating this year and they are very different people. Both have found what they needed at Ponderosa. One is in FFA which is only offered at Ponderosa, the other was in the Academic Decathlon which has won County 15 years in a row. The coaches they had were inspirational and they both got into good colleges. I hope it is as good for my Daughter and youngest son. 8 more years at Pondo for us!
Generally a good school all around.
