Rancho Buena Vista High School Reviews
Rated
M
The school is grossly over crowded with a recently reported enrollment of 3500 students this year. Students share a small 18"hx12"wx10"d locker not large enough to hold even two sets of student books, not to mention jackets or other items a student may want to store during the day.
All students go to lunch at the same time; I'd hate to wait in that bathroom line to use facilities that are dirty, worn out and crumbling.
Teachers and staff are clearly overburdened and overworked and tend to come across in a gruff, unfriendly manner.
Freshman can wind up in beginner level classes with underachieving, but perhaps more well known, Seniors. And I'm not convinced that one teacher can adequately get to know, be concerned about and teach 165 students a year. What's more I see the learning environment as strictly robotic if not unsafe.
All in all, I am not a fan and while my son wants to go here because this is our home public school and all of his friends are attending there, I continue to look for options that appeal to us both.

Lockers are small, but most upperclassmen use their cars as storage, or those students who are involved can store belongings in a teacher's classroom.
Lunch may be the same time for all grades, but most upperclassmen leave campus for lunch or many students are involved in a club on campus that meets at lunch. Many bathrooms are available with a reasonable wait time.
The fact that a previous reviewer called to question the method of teaching was disheartening and 100% false. Although many schools probably out rank Rancho, insulting the teachers is one of the worst judgments to make on the school.
