Moreno Valley High School

I am sad to admit that if you have a teenaged child Moreno Valley school district is not the best choice for public education. My son is currently attending MVH which in my opinion has the laziest administration I’ve ever heard of and only to assume that not many parents have taken the time to express concern on the way they handle student conflict/​disciplinary action’s in its regards. Instead of investigation in conflicts and how to resolve issues they prefer to immediately and ultimately suspend ALL parties be it victim or aggressor. On one occasion my son got jumped in the middle of the courtyard viewed by a MVPD officer who told me what took place and truly agreed that the way the situation was being handled was lazy and unfair his self, but nonetheless says my son was walking with a girlfriend of his when 5 boys approached him with one saying he had to prove to a girl that he could «beat up my son» and immediately swings while the other 4 boys place hands and feet on my son as well. Because my son chosen to defend his self against 5 boys and did not sit and get stomped without a fight he and all 5 boys got suspended for 5 days each… What in the heck? Same consequences as the aggressors? And officer as witness who was 1^st on scene to try and separate the boys tells what he sees but its so much easier for the principle to just sign a suspension form and due away with them all. What ever happened to detention for certain matters of conflict? Either way it goes my son misses education be it he didn’t try and defend his self and had to be hospitalized or in this case does and gets suspended. This is just one of many matters I’ve dealt with regarding this school and at this time consulting legal advice to address many issues. I urge parents that live in MVH residential zone to apply for a transfer to val Verde school district which has better admin, schools, and education obviously viewing the schools state test scores. That alone shows how lazy MV district is. Tax payers look into it as I am

Traffic sucks. And I couldn’t get into the school today at 2:00 to pick up my daughter cones blocking entrance and gates closed. May I note that school is dismissed at 1:50 on wed. And my daughter’s teacher, is not giving her full points on her group project because her partner was absent.
