I always had a problem with bullies in school. I never felt safe. But in option for youth . I felt like i was among differant people. like i had no worries of being judged there. But other than that i loved learning from my teacher. The one on one attention helped me out so much . I have much better grades in options than i did regular public high school. I do believe that public schools can learn something from options.

The staff! The students! The schedule! I love options!

I love our students! It's so wonderful, as a teacher, to get to know the kids on a personal level and to interact with them one-on-one.

I love OFY because each student gets to meet one-on-one with their teacher. The teachers all care very much about their students, and take the time to listen to them and help them.

There are so many great things about Options For Youth, but most of all I would say the personal attention that each student is given.

My daughter attended Options For Youth and received one on one attention which she really needed. She walked away with more knowledge than regular school gave her and I am thankful for what Options For Youth does.

What I love most about our school is that it provides students with a unique opporunity to grow into young men and women by teaching responsibility, commitment, and accountability.

The teaching is more personal and students get more one on one attention

I have been a member of the Options For Youth family for over five years now. It still amazes me how our program can effectively help students who have been lost in the traditional school setting. It makes coming to work worthwhile knowing that we make a difference.

Our students receive personalized attention from qualified teachers who care about them and their success.

This school allows students to work at their own pace. This way they can catch up on deficient units or just graduate early. They also have a team of teachers that support them with all of thier curriculum. Students get free tutoring and small group instruction on thier math. They are only required to come to school twice a week for 2 hours at a time which leaves them time to work or help out with family if necessary. Most students who come here love this school. I have been teaching for 13 years and have only served less than 2 years with options. I must say, this is the best school I've ever taught at. They care about their students and their future. Way to go Options!!!

I love the fact that all kinds of students are served. Those needing credit, those that can't stand sitting in a classroom for 56 minutes each period and those that are bored by the pace in a traditional school.

Direct student instruction on a small teacher(tutor)-student ratio.


Posted April 10, 2009

This is the best school I have ever attended. I was failing in just a plain normal high school, but at options you get a 1 on 1 experience with your teacher. I actually leaned more in the few years I was at options then in the previous 5 years. It's not for everyone though, you must have self discipline and make sure you do the work. You can also work at the comfort of your own home. This school was life changing!

I been going to options for a minute now and i really like it. You cant really get behind if your studying or atleast making sure you understand what your doing so that your ready to test. Options offers many diffrent oppurtunities and also helps you get to where you wanna be. Ive became way more sufficant since i began going to options!

The staff is so helpful and wonderful. They are a great way for students to get caught up, or one on one attention. We loved it there, and I would consider it for any of my children.

Posted March 31, 2005

My son did attend Serrano H.S. And this was not for him. He was falling behind, so I began the search and talk to other schools and found that Options For Youth was the best alternative. He is now getting b's and a's and has less stress. Not all kids fit in a large school. He actually has more work to do and earns up to 8 credits a month. He has a lot of reading and the test are not easy. He spend at least 30 hours a week or more doing homework. Its not easy, but it works for him. He wants to attend V.V. College by next year. I'm proud of him. He also is planning on playing soccer this year too. He has outings and has time to be with other students on off hours, which keeps his mind on school only. Also he has great teachers.

My only problem is with all the new work. The teachers should have more control in choosing the work books. My daughter is forced to take a history class at another school. But I like Options in every other way.

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.
