Julian High School

Julian is still out of control with bullying continuing to go on and the student are out of control and the staff do not care. My child is a victim of being bullied and I ask to have a police report on this and I haven't received any update about the matter. I will rank this school as being poor with handling bullying situations. I guess nothing won't be done until it too late when my child is seriously hurt in the school. I have notified the staff about this problem, I will be talking to the media about the bullying at Julian.

Julian has the potential to be one of the top schools in the state. It has up-to-date facilities as well as qualified teachers. The only problem -- the student population. Many of the students don't understand how important getting an education is. I think my experience would be better if the students really had a better understanding of the quality of the school that they attend.

I'm new to this school and don't know much about it. But it looks like a school that is striving for excellence and to increase the quality of education for their students.

Julian is an okay school. The school just needs more community involvement and better leadership. The school needs more discipine and better staff to ensure quality education.

Julian is a good school. They've made a lot of improvements since I left in 1995. They are committed to excellence.
