Aragon High School
Fernando Ruiz: Academically, Aragon High school offers a great varitety of student programs that prepare teenagers for college, plus they can take College level courses at the school. Encouragement to succed is great.
The Athletics department is a great one, with a wide variety of sports, including Tennis, Badminton, Track, football, water Polo and Swimming. The facilities have been improved considerably since I attended, and it is in a very safe neighborhood. Access to local transportation is very convenient. I wouldn't trade my school for any other.
