Tesoro High School Reviews
Rating 3.98 out of 5 449 reviews
I had an excellent experience at Tesoro. I was able to take many classes that I enjoyed and wanted to see if they would be of further study interest. Mr. Trotter was amazing! I also liked the many AP classes that were available.
I was involved heavily with Computer Science and Music and given opportunities to excel. However, I wish that I would have been able to learn Python and C++ as well have had some aural training classes. I have one on to major in Computer Science and minor in piano performance. I do wish I would have had opportunities to play piano at performances, or wherever. I feel that I was prepared to take on the challenges of college level courses. I built many relationships with staff members that have continued to guide me and fostered my interests and creativity while I was there. Nonetheless, their music program was excellent and award winning and I was able to play piano in my free period in the choir room.

The best part about my school is the support and time that the administration and teachers endlessly pour into you. Tesoro High School has one of the best Vocal and Performing Arts programs in Southern CA. One of the worst things about my School is the lack of diversity. I'd like to see more diversification. That being said, the campus is very inclusive and welcoming to all.
I got to experience Tesoro from the perspective of a very STEM forward, yet musically inclined stance. Tesoro has as many good teachers who give their all to their lesson plan as there are teachers who just show up each day. I was fortunate enough to have a lot of teachers over the years who taught me AP classes that more than prepared me for the test. In terms of the music department, I think Tesoro has one of the best public school programs in my county, and it was a big part of my life there. I would say one thing I would love to see there is an increase in support for POC and LGBTQ+ communities. There were a few incidents over my four years there, and it was disappointing how the school handled them. Otherwise, academically and extra-curricular-wise, Tesoro is a fantastic public school, and people have moved into the school district specifically for the opportunity to attend.
