Vallejo High School

I attended Vallejo High back in the 80's and it was a mess then...a student was stabbed in the hallway and the student who did it was never disciplined. One of my teachers used to enjoy telling us that she was "only here for a paycheck" The school is old and not maintained. I would never send my children here.

The school is a joke. The teachers are too preoccupied with chasing an agenda to actually confer facts. The school district could save itself tons of money by shutting down the school and sending these kids to the library.

As a parent of a former student, I can speak to the fact that there are several instructors that truly care and do their best with the limited resources they have. Then there are those with whom I could never get in contact. I found the administration lacking, including the principal (who was a good teacher when I had him years ago) either unable or unwilling to stand by his word on several occassions. In addition, my child came to the school with a perfect attendence record, but secondary to continuous oversights, and failure to correct the problems even when proof was provided to both teacher and administrators, that record was ruined. Needless to say, I transferred my child out of the district and am proud to say he is doing well, thriving and enjoying his high school experience. I would have loved my child to graduate from my alma mater, however, had no defense against those instuctors and administrators that did not understand the concept of teamwork and parental involvment in educating my child. For those wonderful instructor who do there best, my hat off to you!

As a student, I see what parents DON'T. This school needs a serious clean up, and I don't mean just the trash.

I've had good and bad experiences with my two students who attend (Junior and Senior). IF your student is not in AP or Honor courses then good luck! Clubs & athletics are excellent. Some teachers are truly dedicated, some teachers are there to just collect a paycheck. I was fortunate to experience both. If I could do it all over again, private school is the way to go.

This is the best school ever, and it does have its weak spots, but never judge a book by it cover.Our Principal is so easy to talk to and get along with he respects all students even when they dont respect him. I love my school and I know anyone who comes here will LOVE it too!
