Petaluma High School Reviews
Rating 3.72 out of 5 172 reviews
Petaluma high school has been a great experience for myself from the teachers and classes to the extracurricular activites like sports and clubs. There is a great number of student involvement in the community as well.
I am currently a senior in high school and have attended Petaluma High School since I was a freshman. I have overall had a good experience with this high school. I have greatly enjoyed the staff that works on campus and have overall had great teachers as well. I believe that the classes I have taken have better prepared me for highschool and the teachers along with the environment have been very supporitive in students trying to pursue a future no matter what that intakes. The community and environment is very welcoming at this school and I believe that everyone has a place at this highschool to make change and begin their future.
I really appreciate my time at Petaluma because it has really helped me learn how to be self-sufficient and use the resources I have. There's a limited amount of good teachers and classes, but it also teaches me to do my own research and work hard to get what I want. I would love to see more highly trained teachers who are very interested in their students' understanding, not just memorization.
