Ella - 11/27/2024

In many ways, I love San Juan College. As it is a community college, class sizes are small so there are many opportunities for one-on-one learning. Professors are available outside of class through office hours or email and are ready and excited to teach you. Food in Mary's Kitchen is also tasty and has different daily options. However, there are shortcomings. I haven't heard the best things about student housing, such as bad accommodations and drinking, so I am housed off campus. While my college isn't perfect, it is a pretty fun place to be!

Christianna - 02/28/2024

San Juan College High School is hands down one of the best schools I've ever attended. From the moment I stepped foot on campus, I knew I was in for something special. First of all, the teachers at San Juan College High School are absolutely incredible. They genuinely care about their students and go above and beyond to ensure our success. They're not just there to teach, but to inspire and motivate us to reach our full potential. I've had teachers who have made even the most challenging subjects fun and engaging, and I've learned so much from them. The school itself has a welcoming and supportive environment. It's like one big family. Everyone knows each other, and there's a real sense of community. Whether it's participating in extracurricular activities, joining clubs, or attending school events, there's always something exciting happening at San Juan College High School. One thing I really appreciate about the school is the variety of opportunities it offers. They have a wide range of advanced placement courses, dual credit options, and vocational programs. This allows students to explore their interests and prepare for their future careers. Plus, the resources and facilities available are top-notch, providing us with the tools we need to succeed. Another aspect that sets San Juan College High School apart is the emphasis on college readiness. They provide guidance and support throughout the college application process, helping us navigate scholarships, financial aid, and career planning. It's reassuring to know that they're invested in our future beyond high school. Overall, San Juan College High School has exceeded my expectations in every way. It's a place where I feel challenged, supported, and inspired to become the best version of myself. I'm truly grateful for the experiences and opportunities I've had here, and I believe it has prepared me for a bright future.

It's a pretty good school for the most part the teachers are available and nice. I haven't got a class where it was full and no seats. I have enjoyed the teachers I have had for the past credits. I think they are flexible with emergencies or even sickness. There was make up options if you missed which is a really nice thing especially when you miss a few important days. Most teachers were willing to provide notes if I missed a day or more.

Hailey - 01/05/2021

San Juan College is a very good college with lots of nice individuals, and lots of resources. Most professors are always open to help students and they keep regular office hours but will help outside of office hours if requested. Campus security is pretty good, there is still the occasional creep hanging out around campus but if you call public safety, it will be taken care of quickly.

  14. What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?

    The classes I have attended by the fourth week its obvious which student will succeed. Some students make up excuses for late work or not turning in their assignments when due. The students by fourth week that do their work are their to learn. So I guess it just depends. Their is half and half. Some students are going to earn their degree and some students go and just don't know why they are in college.
