As a current senior in Dominguez High School I can argue that even though the school is falling apart and some rooms struggle with cleanliness and in some cases the roofing falls apart. Even though theres’s not much diversity, I was surrounded by people of the same background and culture this allowed me to relate to students and easily make friends. The staff councelors also do a good job at informing students on what they need to graduate and what classes would be best for them. Teachers are also highly suportive and always keep students engaged. Not to mention, student have access to great resources provided by the college center or the other support programs such GearUp and ThinkTogether for students to get access to scholarships, internships, or dual enrollment options.
Dominguez High School is alright. I really like Think Together, an after-school program, and I attend their clubs after-school. Something that can be really bad is the teachers and students. It can kinda depend on luck if you get good teachers and good classmates. What matters more is your class and classmates because with the same teacher, they can be nice with one class but more strict and 'mean' with another so that really depends on the students in that class.
I have had an amazing time in Dominguez as a student. I really wish that there were more people encouraging the students to stay on top of their work. most of the staff there don't actually know how to connect and teach others to become a better student. The counselors need to be able to agree with the student when the ask to change a class. Whenever a student is feeling like they are failing try you best to uplift them instead of downgrading and blaming it their bad habits. But other than that, it is so easy to make friends and Dominguez and so many activities for the kids there to help them become a new person or have new hobbies.
