Excellent. 2 children attended. An average student and one with learning disabilities. Both treated equal.

I attended Pacifica from 9th grade until 2nd semester of 11th grade. In my 3 years there I had absolutely no encouragement from my AP or teachers. I actually had a teacher tell me he isn't dealing with my "bullsh**" and accused me of things I did not do. Two other teachers told me that taking my final is pointless because I will fail anyways. I transferred to Hare Continuation when I left Pacifica and got straight A's, which continued once I started ACCESS. I did better on my own than I ever did at Pacifica. In my opinion they just don't care about the students that are struggling because it makes them look bad, which they should because they did not take the time to help me rather than putting me down. I know other students that have said the same so it is not just my own personal experience.

As a student who transferred into Pacifica this year after spending my freshman year at a different school, I've found that Pacifica offers a very different high school experience as opposed to what I had before. Pacifica is a very small school in comparison to the one I came from, and I've been happy with the clean atmosphere and generally well-kept image of the school. However, the entrance I use to get into the school has no side walk at all and forces students to walk in-between cars coming in and out of the school's lot. I find that to be really poor design, and dangerous. The teachers I have now as opposed to the ones I had before are not as good at what they do. Some have very poorly planned classes, Some are not very interactive with their class at all, and are very vague with help when asked for it.. Most are not very clear when it comes to instructions. The school spirit here is a joke- we never have any pep assemblies and most students generally accept that our sports teams are terrible. All in all I've found it to be a downgrade, and though there are things I enjoy about Pacifica, I've been pretty disappointed with my new school.

My student is an IEP student and has difficutly keeping up with some of his classes. He has always been taught to ask for extra help before and after school. Yet, this year he has several teachers who have not been willing to meet with him, even by appointment and he is now really struggling in that class. It's very sad to see students try to obtain the help they need and have teachers unwilling to help. I understand they have lives and families, however it seems to be more and more of the teachers are showing less care for their students at this school, which is very sad to see. Not sure we will be sending child #2 to Pacifica in the next year.
