Santa Maria High School

Posted November 4, 2009

This school is awsome. There is no better school than this one. Indeed we did have not two but three students last year win the Gates Scholars and two win the Dells Scholars as well. College acceptances went up from the previous year and many of which were accepted to very well known schools such as Harvard, Columbia, UCLA,UC Berkely, UCSD, and many many more. The school has great extra curicular activites such as, the award winning FFA (Future Farmers of America), a first place champion Ballet Flocoriko, CIF soccer team and many more activites and clubs to choose from. I attended Santa Maria High School all four years of high school and it is truly a great school. Thanks to the wonderful teachers and support I found there I was able to get to college and am currently working on getting my BS. Thanks SMHS!!

I would like to say that this school is a wonderful environment for students, parents and teachers. We have excellent clubs, an award winning agriculture department, a thriving music program and a well established AVID program. The students are respectful, hard working and academic achievers. Last year we had two Gates Scholars and the previous year our valedictorian was the recipient of a full scholarship to Brown University. These are just a few stories about our fantastic students. I encourage parents and prospective students to visit the school and talk with teachers, administration and fellow students. Santa Maria High School is a wonderful school with wonderful students and staff.

All three of my children graduated from this high school and all participated in various extra-curicular activities. Chorus, swimming, water polo, basketball and vollyball, among others, were all learning experiences. The challanges are revolve around a large percentage of low income and non-English speaking students with a constant infux of new non-English speakers. However, the upside of this is the inclusiveness and diversity of the student body. My oldest daughter was one of only 400 students admitted to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in her major (average GPA of entering freshmen is 3.8+) but attended a more diverse college in the Southland to feel more comfortable. I graduated from Cal Poly, SLO and it is heavily Caucasian (as are we). I respected her quest for more diversity although I was disappointed she didn't go to my school. All three of my children are currently attending different colleges.

I would not recommend this school. If you want an honest opinion? Ask some of the locals who has lived here (if possible). Other than that all you get are the opinions that are posted here..
