Alta Loma Junior High School
Luis: As far as academics are concerened, they do a good job of preparing the kids for high school. As far as athletics go, they need to change the policy of everybody that goes out for a sport makes it. The other schools have cuts, they take their best and Alta Loma usually gets badly beaten by the other schools. Maybe if they would try to develop a better athletic program, Alta Loma High would not be as weak as it is in sports and the Alta Loma Jr. High kids would not have to face so defeat so often.
