GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

During my experience with Bear Creek I had many involvements with their clubs as in FFA which I got to learn about animal agriculture. Experiencing different animals and learning about them, which is rabbits, goats, sheep, pigs, hens and so on. I also got to see great diversity and many different clubs.

The college and career center at my school was amazing. I really felt prepared because of the resources they provided me. I was in the music program for 4 years and the music teacher is amazing. I took nearly every AP class offered all the teachers were great and I felt prepared for all my AP tests. There were a lot of problems with fights and smoking that would cause the fire alarms to go off. There were also a few threats to the school while I went there but for the most part I felt safe at school. Clubs are such a big deal here particularly the cultural clubs. Nearly everyone is involved in atleast one club and our culture week is the most anticipated event.

Best parts were definitely the school culture when it comes to cultural club performances. This is most likely the more notable part about Bear Creek. Worst parts about this place is that a good majority of the students are unmotivated and it creates a disastrous school community with people like that.

From all the negative comments everyone seems to make about Stockton, you would think it was a horrible school, but they have a beautiful campus, much like a community college, it is the nicest looking school in LUSD plus it is in a very good neighborhood, some people are just always negitive and ca...
