Point Loma High School Reviews
Rating 3.66 out of 5 816 reviews
My experience at Point Loma high school was valuable however I’m left feeling my high school experience was incomplete. Due to the Covid pandemic and lockdowns, I spent the last months in 8th grade and the majority of my freshman year off campus. It was challenging to adjust to online learning as the online programs often malfunctioned and were hard to sign in to. When I returned, initially I had some difficulty keeping up with the work load but my high school experience improved throughout the years. More clubs appeared, and I developed more responsible study habits. My biggest regret is not having more clubs available sooner. I also wish the school had a more organized website and more effectively communicated information. The school however was full of interesting classes with passionate teachers and students.
Point Loma High really strives for student's success, the culture of the student's is the worst of the school, bathrooms will be locked during lunch to prevent vaping and every week there's a fight or discourse of a sort in the quad. I'd like to see the student culture change.
My overall experience at Point Loma High was cut short because of the beginning of the pandemic, but I thought it was a good school before hand. I enjoyed the student life and everyone was kind to each other. I joined the cheer team and didn’t have a problem with any students but I think the worst part about Point Loma High was that some of the faculty working there were not the best. There was a teacher who I had and she received many complaints from parents as she was not the best at teacher students and she was never fired and continued to mess up our educations. They always let go of the best teachers that I learned something from and I am an extremely slow learner so it was a bit heartbreaking to see that other students won’t have the chance to take the really amazing teachers who know the best methods of teaching.
