I just called to find out more information about the school. I have to say that EVERY SINGLE PERSON that I spoke with today was AMAZING. So caring and knowledgable. What a huge relief to speak to such pleasant people. My child's education is #1 and this just made me that much more comfortable in a possible change. Thank you!!!!

So my daughter came to SSH for her freshman year and although she mostly liked it, she decided to go to Simi High for her sophomore year. She really wanted the "high school" experience with games and dances and this school was a little too liberal for her taste. The teachers were mostly great, especially the French teacher, whom she was able to go to France and will forever be a highlight in her life. The basic art teacher was not her favorite, and actually made her not want to do art,(which was one of the reasons she choose this school) However, the education here is fantastic and

Very left wing, entitled, something-for-nothing-expecting political atmosphere.
"The world owes me a living" said the Grasshopper to the ant is the school motto.
OK, that's a stretch but close.
Plus:
The kids like it.
Colleges admissions like Santa Susana too.
Minus:
Bureaucratic, disorganized, frustrating dealing with faculty and administrators.
No faculty member or administrator seems to know what's going on with anything school related outside the classroom.
Can't be us, other parents had no clue how to negotiate the red tape either.
Like going to the DMV.

Sequoia jr high school was a great school! Only 7-8th grade when I attended here back in 1996. It is now Santa Susana High school still located in the same place. In 96 they made 9th grade part of high school in the SMUSD, so they needed another high school sacrificing a jr high school. I went to Simi High the following year because this was a magnet school, no sports.
