Senior: Glacier High School Charter is one of the best schools in our mountain community. The school is inclusive, upstanding, and engaging. The teachers are wonderful as well. I go to school at the Oakhurst campus, though there is also a Fresno campus. We have several joined events with the other campus. Because the school is smaller, you have the opportunity to gain more help and build personal relationships with your teachers. You have a higher quality education as well, due to this. However, if there is one thing I could change, I would allow a larger variety of sports at our school, seeing as there are only three. Overall, Glacier High is a wonderful school because of its flexibility, education quality, and personal touch.... Read 15 reviews

Junior: Every school of course has its flaws, but Yosemite has been nothing but good to me. The teachers are all very kind and compassionate toward their students. Each and every student at Yosemite High has a place where they can be themselves. The students don't have many conflicts together and bullying is not a problem. The teachers are always good humored and eager to help anyone who needs it. Yosemite loves the fine arts and of course, sports. For such a small school, a wide range of IB classes are available and counselors try to prepare students as much as possible. A wonderful thing about this school is their clubs! There is something for everyone. I specifically enjoy the Women's Club and the Leos Club. I am so grateful to attend Yosemite High School!... Read 109 reviews

Senior: Liberty High School is one of the places I call home. Even before I was in high school, I would participate in plays and musicals, and go to watch sports games. Then to finally get to go to school there was so much fun. From homecoming week to the Boys vs. Girls rallies, I always look forward to going to events. Not only were the extra curricular activities amazing, I absolutely loved all of my teachers. From freshmen to senior year, I had a great relationship with all of my teachers. Another great aspect of Liberty High School is the staff's dedication to their students. Especially during this tough time of distance learning, all of my teachers are doing a phenomenal job making themselves and their resources available to us.... Read 102 reviews

Junior: I like minarets because of multiple reasons. The culture and people here are all welcoming, everyone is very kind and close to the community. Everyone, including the teachers, are supportive and inspiring. I also like the amount of things you can get involved in at our school, it has FFA, NHS, CSF, Key Club, all sports including equestrian, as well as many others. There are two leadership classes that allow students to learn to be leaders. Students have the opportunity to start there own clubs and learn real-life skills. However, I would like to increase there communication within teachers, students, and parents. When everyone is informed then a school can run smoother.... Read 18 reviews

Senior: Minarets High School is a place of growth and inspiration. I moved to this school halfway through my sophomore year and could not have been more impressed. The environment is so loving and encouraging. The staff is absolutely amazing. They are supportive and helpful. This school honestly seems like a dream. I transferred from my other school because of bad situations such as bullying and just a bad school situation in general. When I got to Minarets, I instantly felt accepted and cared for. I have learned so much not only about math, english, or history, but about life and how to be a better person. I could not be more grateful for this school!... Read 135 reviews

Senior: Madera High School has been a great experience for me. I love our campus and enjoy all the fun opportunities that have been provided to me. Every teacher I have met has treated me kindly and respectively, which is something I deeply admire. The librarian is also very sweet, always welcoming me with a "good morning!" as I walk through the doors. Our football team is excellent as each player works hard to receive a spot on the team. Some changes I would like to see are more business courses as they can give more of an insight into the business pathway. Another change I can recommend are school lunches; many other of my peers can relate to this as the school lunches could definitely be approved but aside from that, I enjoyed my time at Madera High....

Niche User: This school, and more importantly my teacher gave me the opportunities I needed to get my high school diploma. A whole semester early I might add. I wasn't in the best place in my life when I began attending Evergreen and it gave me a place to do my school work, keep my full time job and even offered counseling to get me through all the tough stuff. I am a better person because of this school.... Read 4 reviews
