Templeton High School

I’m a freshman during the 2019-2020 year and it’s amazing, there are so many classes and options. This is the best school for college prep and they have so many great opportunities, the sports as well are amazing and are funded very well because Templeton is a very rich area. The only thing is that most people here own large businesses or wineries and there definitely are some big cliches but it’s worst on the parents side. Overall great school! They have a good approach to drugs and vaping issues and have support programs for kids with addictions or issues regarding things like that.

The administration is the typical lazy, online shopping and gossiping crew. I know they dont make much money, but they could cut half of them and not be missed. The Principal is an ex cop and works at half speed as well. Too bad, as it is a great community and deserves better.

Almost everyone at this school is rude. The teachers won't let us use the bathrooms regularly (and the only 2 bathrooms available always have lines going out the door. Most students have to hold their bladders for 2+ hours before relieving themselves). The student environment is terrible and there is drama in nearly every social group. The teachers don't take mental health issues seriously and assign enough homework to make any person have a mental breakdown. Many girls get dress-coded for wearing a simple tanktop, because god forbid they show a little shoulder on a day with 96 degree weather. Most of the bullying here is verbal. The school thinks we can solve all of our problems with inspirational speakers rather than actually doing something to end them.

The education here his top notch but the social environment is the pits. Apparently the "popular kids" rule the roost with an iron fist. There is a lot of back biting, gossiping, cheating and drugs/alcohol abuse. Its a shame that such a beautiful school, in such a beautiful environment with such great academic opportunities has to be so ugly.
