I wish to specifically note two courses taken an Vallejo High School that have had a tremendous impact on my life and future. I attended Vallejo High roughly 1946 to 1948.
The first course was called "Funny Math". Among other things, this course taught to add multiple columns of numbers, add from left to right, subtracting numbers by adding, etc.
To this day, people are astounded by my math ability. I credit most of it to that course.
The other course I took at night school in 1948 or 1949 which was "Beginning Typing". Needless to say, in this day and age what a benefit it is to use computers and keypads.
I am especially pleased with the math. It just about floors me of how many people can not even count change without using a calculator. Since I also have a daughter who is interested in "Funny Math", is there any way of finding out where to obtain that course material? If so, I would be happy to send for it, if it still exists.
Thank you again, Vallejo High.

This school gets a bad rap because it's in Vallejo. But I graduated from this school and I love it still. It is such a melting pot of diversity and cultural differences. If you want your child to grow to be racially tolerant there is no better place to send them!

Its a good school, you just need to know the right people to have fun academically and socially.

vallejo high school is not a very good school. People are very mean towards the teachers even when they arent even mean to you.I know this because i still attend the school I will be a 2009 junior.
Most of the teachers dont even teach what they are suppose to they talk about anything an give you what ever grade they what to. You can be in one course and the teacher would tell you you need to go back a subject. So remember this because all those old high school graduates dont know anything about whats going on now. remember the class of 2011 graduate

Get your face odd strait. Your administraters failed entrance. I graduated your High School why usurp otherwise. Any thing less is the assist to violence and terror. 69 Michael Holland Shepard. And do not say I do not exist when Everyday People write you.

I'm currently a sophomore at this school. I think that all the diversity is great and all, but that's not the luck with the educational system. Teachers don't exactly try their hardest to help the students. I know there's only so much you can do, but seriously, a teacher is supposed to "teach". I can't name you one thing I've been taught from this school academically, but socially, I am learning to cope with large crowds and associate with people. I just think that teachers, as well as the students, should put more of an effort. That also starts by the parents/guardians.

Oh, and the school fundings are very low. One of my teachers "accidentally" said she couldn't print a lot of paper because she was a slim budget. I'm guessing that could also affect the way things impact the kids and stuff.

All-in-all, this school does a poor job at maintaining the children at a proficient level. The diversity great, the academics aren't, it's tough.

Class of 2012!

Vallejo High is full of teachers who do nothing, students who are rude, shallow, disrespectful, and just overall intolerable! I've never been to a school quite like this. It saddens me to say that I will be graduating from here. I'm sure back in the day it was a great school but now its just not.
