King chavez High School

I am aware of an assistant geometry teacher who brings much more than excellence in teaching skills; she is able to reach students in a positive way. While focusing on education she is able to attain exceptional results in personal growth in her students. Finding the right balance in challenging and encouraging students to perform at a higher level has been a gift to the students and to the school. Many of the teaching staff also excel in teaching and are gifted in reaching and meeting the needs of individual students. Much praise should be given. The entire staff should be acknowledged for their patience, grace and ability to relate to students that produce positive results.

I don’t know what happened with that person writing the last review. I think the first two sentences are very rude and are simply not true. I think that they take away from how useful the whole review is. I’m upset by it because it is simply not true.
My daughter goes to KC High School and I can tell you all that the admin and office teams do run the school very well. They have a sports program, they’ve won their soccer league twice in a row now, in 3 years they have 450 students, all Juniors do down town internships — one of the girls did an internship in the Mayor’s office and took a call from the White House! They are working with students from BArrio Logan and Sherman Heights and yes the students have obstacles, but they are doing well, learning, gaining work experience etc.
The school just got a WASC visit and did well — don’t you think WASC is a better judge than that last person? WASC were very impressed!
Uneducated staff? All of them have degrees and are accredited as teachers — what is that last person talking about?
I am very happy with my daughter being at KCHS — by the way they have 95% daily attendance, compared to low 70s% for other local district high schools. Doesn’t that tell you how good the school is?
King Chavez is a very good little school whose staff loves its students and they are getting some great success as they are now almost a full four year high school with students heading to college.
As the principal says, just come by and check it out without appointment, they are so confident of what they do.
Vamos Vaqueros!

These people have little to no clue how to run an educational facility. The students probably can’t even spell that. Very easy coursework, troubled students, uneducated staff, fires their good staff, etc. I think they have good intentions, big dreams and few great teachers, but I will NOT bet my kid’s future on it.
This school was just starting out when I enrolled my gifted child there for 9^th grade. They gave us the impression this school was pushing children to go above and beyond traditional schools — yeah right. My child was hospitalized and they gave her several in-​completes for classes like gym that she missed while in the hospital for several months. They were extremely disorganized and had no idea how to handle her situation. Now, over a year later, the situation is the same. Now, this star student that is on the Principal’s List and had a 4.0, now has a 2.5 for that year and is still missing credits needed to graduate. I will be enrolling her into a different school. Let’s just hope her credits transfer.
