Hey, I am Addie, a freshman at Santa Teresa High School, and I LOVE MY SCHOOL!!!! Except I'm just an average student, in 1 honors class, not a cheerleader, and not in ASB, but I still love my school even though I'm not in a bunch of stuff :P so here's my review of my school: a. Quality of academic program 4 of 5 stars b. Availability of music, art, sports, and other extracurricular activities 5 of 5 stars c. Academic or athletic awards Never received one, and I probably never will :P d. Facilities 3 of 5 stars e. Level of Parent involvement 0 of 5 stars. They make it very clear that they do not want to deal with parents, they only want to speak to the students.
