M: Many teachers at Ynez racially discriminate against students. They on purposefully give detentions to those who they are biased against and let those who are teacher's pet oversee these detentions. It's ashamed to see my kid suffer through all this and decided to move. My kid is at Poway Unified now and it's way better than Alhambra Unified by a lot.

Great scores, children complain it is a boring school with no extra activities for the older kids. No lockers!! Only extremely heavy backpacks!
