"While far from perfect, I had three children attend and graduate from Santa Maria High School. They all got a good education and had a good experience getting it. There are good educators and a supportive administration. We stayed involved with our children's education. For those of you nay sayers, I'd like to know what you have done to improve the school?"

"With the highest pregnancy rate in CA, and cholos lined up and down the block it makes it hard to believe this is such an awesome school. The years and children have definitely changed."

"These sparkling reviews are jokes, obviously from biased teachers or administrators, or quite literally just jokes. Santa Maria High School is trash and everyone on the Central Coast knows it. Over crowded, rife with gangs, ludicrously high teen birth rate, and half the students don't even speak English. A terrible, terrible environment for young adults, as well as teachers how have become jaded by years of working there."

"This school is awsome. There is no better school than this one. Indeed we did have not two but three students last year win the Gates Scholars and two win the Dells Scholars as well. College acceptances went up from the previous year and many of which were accepted to very well known schools such as Harvard, Columbia, UCLA,UC Berkely, UCSD, and many many more. The school has great extra curicular activites such as, the award winning FFA (Future Farmers of America), a first place champion Ballet Flocoriko, CIF soccer team and many more activites and clubs to choose from. I attended Santa Maria High School all four years of high school and it is truly a great school. Thanks to the wonderful teachers and support I found there I was able to get to college and am currently working on getting my BS. Thanks SMHS!!"
