J.E. Young Academic Center

I've only gone to this school for about a month and a half but it's honestly an amazing school. Everyone here is so friendly as well as the teachers. At my old school the teachers were sometimes rude and not the best help but everyone here tries to get you involved and get you to graduate which is amazing. Teachers are honestly so amazing like Ms.Floyd and Mr.Belcher are so nice and easy to talk to. The school obviously isn't in the best neighborhood but they really do care about the students and try their best to get you to graduate.

Worst school imaginable. From a parent to another parent, i would not recommend enrolling your child here. The staff there is terrible. My daughter would come home crying all the time. They did not care about her education and success. My daughter told me they did nothing to help and would recommend her to do things that violated integrity. Stay away from this school, it is a waste of time. I wish i would’ve know what i was putting my daughter into

They’re suppose to help students with credit recovery but they don’t. My daughter had a teacher close a class on edgenuity because she missed a class and the teacher laughed about it and my daughter had to start over. Also teachers are slow on opening the tests, so it takes a lot longer than it should. Right before semester was over as she was close to finishing a class they closed all her classes and said she can get them open if she takes intersession, which she’s not able to. So all that work wasted for no reason, when she still had a day before semester officially ended.

My daughter is giving us a major improvement at this school! Staff is wonderful, always smiling very polite and always willing to help. Teachers seem pretty easy going and helpful as well. My daughter is actually working on graduating a year early!!

I'm currently a senior here and it has been undoubtably the worst school experience I've ever had and I've had plenty of horrid experiences with schools making this one uniquely terrible. In short this school is a bureaucratic nightmare the communication between administration and students is almost non existent which is a crucial factor when doing independent studies. As a result of this fault when you fail to know something that is crucial such as amount of credits needed to graduate they fail to notify you and then blame you when you bring it up. In fact communication is almost non existent at this "school" entirely even administration doesn't know what administration is doing. When you do pressure them into giving you a credit count or progress report you'll get it and then you'll be told that it's not accurate and needs to be updated. They can't offer language classes which is a requirement to graduate under California law. That being said the teachers are whole hearted people that truly wish to help and they are not to be blamed for their short comings since they are bound and gaged in bureaucracy. I will also offer up Mrs. Garabedian she is a truly genuine and whole hearted as both a teacher and a person in general she has given not only myself but other students a ride to school when we needed it she is quite possibly to most equipped person to be a teacher I have ever known or heard of in my life. I can count on my hand just how many good teachers I've had in my life Mrs. Garabedian is among them.

Amazing School and Staff. The teachers push you to do better and graduate. You couldn'y go worng with this school. Stadd are amazing and help keep thing clean. All a student has to do is put hard work and effort, not to much to ask for. They make graduating possible. Go jaguar's!

My son goes to school here. Very helpful and encouraging. It's great. The teachers and principal are fantastic
