Pacific High School
Pacific HS is not necessarily a bad school... BUT I think in areas of test scores, consideration must be given to the following:
IF SBUSD would stop having an "open door policy" to permit whoever they want from going to whatever school they want, without some form of mininum grade requirements, or standards, then this would not prevent so many schools from not making the grades in their school district.
People need to stop making excuses for a school to not make the grade based on where it is located, it's geographics, etc and start owning up to acknowledging that kids and parents need to work positively with their schools and be involved in their kid's education and life to keep them out of trouble or needing to utilize a campus child care center!!
I had the opportunity to go to an academic recognition presentation for all PHS students that do succeed---I was impressed... I would be even more impressed if more students from anywhere would take their education more seriously, so they don't flip burgers or end up in a dead end job all their life!!
my two cents!--PHS PARENT
