Newbury Park High School

Horrible communication, staff, counselor, teachers, classes, administration, would never send another child there

I had one child graduate from Newbury Park High in 2013 and is now successful student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Newbury Park prepared her to get into a great college and helped her to be successful. I now have my second child there as a sophomore and he loves it. The teachers and counselors are genuinely caring and work hard with the students to help them succeed, the student body is accepting of differences, and works hard. I have a third child starting next year there. The programs are top notch, from Ap, to the cooking program, mock trial and everything in between, there is something for everyone. We are so fortunate to live near this fantastic school.

I went here as a freshman and sophomore before transferring schools. Out of all the high schools I have been to so far, this provided the best high school experience for me. There are plenty of sports available (they have everything, you name it), AP courses and honors courses have a wide range of options, teachers are generally very nice (My favorite are Mrs. Brown the English teacher, Mme Mckean the French teacher, and Cameo Carolan the dance teacher). The block schedule always works very nicely for students. There are rallies, dances, elaborate proms, huge clubs with tons of volunteering opportunities (especially ASG), there are football games, dance concerts, etc. This school has so much to offer I seriously kind of miss going there. Classes are generally great depending on the teacher and students in the class. Students are typically nice but there are distinct cliques at the school and a lot of the jocks and DV kids aren't too nice (I don't wan't to stereotype though, many can be lovely). I had a good group of friends there. There is a ton of time for socialization, so you WILL make friends whether you wanted to or not :)

Newbury Park High School is the best school in the Conejo Valley. The teachers are caring which is followed by caring students. The block schedule is fantastic and allows the students the ability to specialize in areas of interest instead of being required to take the same classes as everyone else. The counselors are helpful and the teachers always have extra hours to help the student. This is a wonderful home away from home.
