Soquel High School
2
Administration is inattentive to parents wanting to provide feedback on teachers and their effectiveness.
My daughters attended San Lorenzo Vally High School and now are teachers themselves.
My son had a terrible teachers and experiences with administration when trying to get help.
Soquel HS is DISMAL. In keeping with their average in the API- they get, AT BEST, a C- but not showing much potentials.
I would NOT suggest you send you child to SHS. VERY poor rating.
