The community of people at Modesto High School is extremely inclusive and compelling. Despite the great academic opportunities offered, this was by far the most valuable and memorable attribute of Modesto High School.
Insofar as the academics at Modesto High are concerned, the normal (CP) program at the school is somewhat weak. The school does offer, however, the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program, which is extremely strong. The teachers are almost all relatively wonderful, but all are demanding. The workload and requirements are extremely rigorous, and personally, this is what I am most thankful for. The demanding curriculum and work forces you to develop a work ethic that is extremely helpful for college classes and makes the college workload that much easier!
