Yorba Linda High School

Everyone wanted to go to the 'new school' . It turns out many of the teachers left their original school because they weren't established there for a reason. They weren't the best teachers. My son had better teachers at his original school. Many programs like speech are poor copies of programs like at Esperanza. Also the athletic fields are far too small.

My child goes to YLHS and it is a beautiful campus and all her classes, so far, have been excellent. She takes both AP and Honor Classes and they can be tough. Only real downside is some snobbery by parents & kids, and competition in the certain sports can be tough. But, I'm sure you can find that in a ton of High Schools.

Some of the teacher's do NOT want to be there and it really shows. The teacher's are forced to teach for the state testing, giving the students previous test questions for them to review.

I have been very impressed with YLHS. My son is a Junior at YLHS and has been there since it opened 2 years ago. He has had the opportunity to fill his schedule with honors & AP classes. The school is student focused and offers a positive learning environment. My son has had a great experience at YLHS.

YLHS is smoke and mirrors. It has a pretty blue ball on top but there's not much going on inside. Furlough'd teachers, overcrowded classrooms, only the most basic electives offered, teachers forced to drive between two schools and teach 3 different classes in the same classroom. The kids are good kids, most of the teachers try, but with a bankrupt state and a District that tells more lies than truths, it's hard for a school to succeed given those odds...and it doesn't.

I absolutely love my school! All of the teachers make every student feel special and important, and our campus is beautiful!

This school has an unwarranted sense of entitlement. Our apparent purpose for existing is to further ourselves and not the student. I don't know why this school can't stay focused on teaching instead of succumbing to the neighborhood's equally offensive false sense of entitlement.
