I've always been in the SCUSD school district and I've enjoyed my time there. The teachers are always nice and caring, they pay close attention to students to make sure they're being supported or find ways in which to help students. The schools make the best with what little resources they have. There is a huge amount of diversity in this school district. I found it a welcoming environment seeing how there were teachers who represented my culture and ethnicity, and seeing the various amount of students who come from different backgrounds. The students here are very inviting, eager to help out. There is a variety of academics in this school district. There are classes at different levels, and teachers encourage students to be open to challenging themselves academically. There are college readiness courses and clubs which students can take to prepare themselves for a successful future, whether in college or for a job. All in all, I highly recommend this school district.
I've been fortunate enough to go to schools with amazing teachers who seem to genuinely care about my education. My teachers are the reason I've enjoyed school as much as I have because they try to connect with their students and I appreciate that. However, the way the school district makes decisions is questionable to me. For example, during Covid it seemed as though the teachers improvising not only because of the suddenness of the virus, but also because the school district couldn't come to a decision on how to proceed. I understand it was a difficult time, but I wish they could've made decisions quicker.
I grew up and did my studies in SCUSD from kindergarten to now, recently having finished junior year. In elementary, middle, and high school, there were consistent things to be satisfied or unhappy with. For starters, funding has and always was a big problem. In elementary school, we never had paper towels in the restroom. They added menstrual products in the girls’ bathroom, which is nice and all, but most elementary school girls need paper towels more than menstrual products. One thing that I’ve always liked is the diversity. It may be because Sacramento itself is very diverse, but having different and unique people in the classroom makes the learning process more interesting.
