My experience at this school as been wonderful. The way the staff is alwasy there for assistnace and there to answer questions. The counsling depart emnt is alwasy ready for your questions and they strongly advice you to go talk to them when you need help. Its just a joy being on the campus with all the school involvement and school spirt. The pne problem is the way they handle issues with coaching staff, when the prorbaly the best thing to do is to giving them a break period or even fire them, they believe its just acomuation issue when that isn't even close to the problem. Other than that the school is a fun safe place to be.
The best part of my high school experience was being involved in the theatre department. My freshman year I took Theatre I, before doing Advanced Theatre sophomore, junior, and senior year. I've also been involved in several Santiago Theatre productions.
The worst part has to be the look of the campus, some of the teachers, and pretty much everything about the school that wasn't theatre. Some of the teachers are the worst teachers I've ever had. The campus is also laid out in a way where it takes forever to get to your classes. A lot of the kids get into fights and just skip class for no reason. The school doesn't really do much about it.

This school in my opinion was an amazing high school to graduate from. I went to two high schools, and I'm proud to say I graduated from Santiago High. I felt very prepared for college and I felt that I knoew what I was doing. With my preparation from Satiago, I got accepted to Pepperdine, UCR, SDSU, and University of Redlands!
Being born in Korea, Moving to the United States five years ago caused me to face an educational challenge: the language barrier. When I first arrived I was in middle school, but the start of COVID-19 turned everything virtual. While some found online learning to be more convenient, in my case, it was a great challenge. Living in Korea I was never taught English, so with my move, it was difficult to grasp the concepts taught and understand my teachers. Nonetheless, I was determined to succeed by making my parents proud of my academics. To eliminate the language barrier, I dedicated myself to a self-improvement journey. I spent four hours each day reading, I initially understood very little. I jotted unfamiliar words as well as the definitions, so I could memorize them. I read and reread challenging books until I understood the content but my teachers and all of my friends from Santiago high school I was able to develop really fast and got 4.7 GPA in mu Junior year.
I had a really good time at this school. They prepared us for college and the teachers where really good. I played sports and was able to be a B student for most of the my time there. My fellow students were respectful and we all helped each other succeed.
Personally, the experience I’ve had with Santiago High School while attending it all four-years of High School is a really good one. Santiago is a place full of kind and welcoming people; it is filled with far too many clubs, rallies, events, etc. for everyone to enjoy. It fulfilled my “high school experience.”
Grateful for my education, but overall could have been supported a whole lot better!! Hopefully in college there are some more sportful resources.
Santiago is a pretty good school! There’s not a lot of racial diversity but you’ll meet a lot of interesting people! I’ve made many close friends through my 2 years on campus. I have also realized this school is very money hungry. Each time you are late by even a minute or two you automatically get a lunch detention. If you miss it you get a saturday school. The only way to excuse this absence is to have a Drs note. Parents cannot excuse it if there’s traffic or something.
Wasn't able to get the best experience. POC students are heavily racialized and their treatment is extremely bad.
There are many different classes on campus and opportunities. The AP classes were good it helps you make a community with your peers. The counselors will fight for you if you want to fight for yourself. Overall the teachers are pretty good. I would not recommend honors chemistry with Lachman if he still works there unless you are already experienced in chemistry. Spanish with 3 and 4 i would recommend greatly also the common core classes. Maybe they can advertise their stem electives more.
I enjoyed attending Santiago High School. I felt welcome and noticed that my teachers cared for my education. The people at Santiago helped me over the past few years and pushed me to do my best. The best part of my experience was the variety of classes I was able to take as well as the amount of help I was offered. I wouldn't like to see anything change here, I hope this school continues to motivate their students and push them to their limits.
Santiago was my second home where I maintained life long friendships and developed my social skills; I enjoyed my time there. The school provided a plethora of opportunities; I enjoyed the wide variety of classes. Sports was an incredible experience for me too and going to the rallies was a joy. The school events were fun in itself but even more fun with friends. Everyone at the school are abundantly friendly therefore making friends was easy. The academics elevated my intelligence and I'll never forget the knowledge and skills I learned. Football games were my favorite by far. Although our football team was not the best, I enjoyed the school spirit and time with friends. Our school spirit was so grand that even if we lost a game, we would still be cheering on our players.
In Corona, California, there is a highly regarded public school called Santiago High School. In terms of their mission statement, they mention that Santiago's core values support students to develop their potential by creating opportunities to excel in a rigorous learning environment designed to help them succeed in an ever-changing world. Santiago is known for offering a wide range of organizations and extracurricular activities on campus, some of which may be advantageous to culture or education which is something I would always cherish. Generally, Santiago has a wide variety of clubs and organizations that students can join. However I would like to remark that there are students like myself who don’t often take advantage of these opportunities out of fear of being judged and that’s an issue not only Santiago students face but all students worldwide due to the lack of encouragement. All in all, Santiago has an amazing education program but I would like there to be more enthusiasm.
Amazing school with super fun events and community just wish I couldve done it to its fullest during covid but they did the best they could
People are really kind and teachers will help you with anything you could possibly need.Just make sure that you ask questions
As a student who transferred from a smaller school, Santiago High school felt big and overwhelming. However, as a student I found it much better in regards to my academic priorities. (Most of) My teachers were very helpful throughout their curriculum and guided me to being successful. The teachers are not the only awesome staff the school has, but so are the admin… special shout out to Mrs.Wendt.
Overall attending Santiago High School was a great experience, the teachers were one of the best aspects of the school as well as the variety of classes offered.
