The teachers and advisors made school a lot easier to deal with. Whether it's problems at home or with friends, there is always someone to talk to.

It is a great school to go to get into UCs and is very versatile. High achievers can get a great education and slackers aren't forced to try.

I am unable to tell you how I feel about my school because I transferred to this school a month ago after moving to Santa Monica. I visited this school before so I could get enrolled and that's where I got the information I used for the survey. I know I gave my school fairly positive scores without being there but this stems from high hopes and optimism. Santa Monica High school is the third school I have been to this year because my family has unfortunately had to move because of financial reasons. But I can say that I am exited to attend this new school and get a fresh start.

Fantastic high school, serving the needs of a very diverse student body. Incredible music program, still has arts programs despite the US destroying public education. Caring, progressive leadership with a modern philosophy that befits sending kids out into the modern world. So happy my kids attend t...

The leadership at this school is horrible and the school experience is more like a prison. They've mandated masks even outdoors which is not even required by the state. Can't attend football games without a negative PCR test. No dances or other normal high school activities. all the fun has been tak...
