School Reviews

My daughter's first 2 days at this Etiwanda High School have gone as follows: 1st day USB/Picture day, slip says credit cards accepted. Get there 90 minutes early to be first in line just to be told they don't take credit cards because the machine is not working. Hey, it's not like someone at the school could put out a sign or anything, so I could have gone at the beginning. Go 4 miles each way to an ATM so that I can get cash, run all the way back from the parking lot to make the window to get everything purchased only to be told by a flunky to wait in a mile-long line again (which we did not do). 2nd Day orientation, wait all day for daughter to tell me that the Spanish class she picked got changed to useless latin even though we hand delivered all of the requested paper work the first day we received it before summer even started. Go to talk to the counselors and have them tell us 900 other students got ahead of us even though we turned in paperwork early because the system possibly assigns classes by alphabetic order. This is in addition to the fact that my daughter is a 4.0 Gate student who's never missed a day of school. Then after talking to the principal, not even he can get it fixed, but tells me to call on Friday. It seems this school is totally inept. I hope to change my opinion in the future, but this has been the worst start to any school either of my children have attended. I should have sent her to Los Osos.
