  1. Mountain House High School

    • Lammersville Joint Unified School District, CA
    • 9-12
    • 54 reviews

    Senior: My experience at this high school has been interesting. There are some very caring staff and admin who are dedicated to furthering our education and getting us to a better place in the future but there are other teachers who are outright cold and seem to hate every part of their job. The students are fairly nice and there's not really the concern of drugs or alcohol to the majority of the student body. There are times where the security is very rude when there is no reason to be, which in turn gets many complaints with the students. MHHS also supports its extracurricular, making it easier for us to fund the competitions and projects that we need.

    #1 Best High Schools for STEM in Stockton Area

    Senior: Middle College High School is a great opportunity to take for those interested in earning college credits while taking normal high school courses. It is a small school situated on the San Joaquin Delta College campus; although MCHS doesn't offer a whole lot of clubs, there are events hosted by the college that students can attend during their free time, and the Spirit Rally that takes place each semester rocks! Students find it easy to connect with others and, in my opinion, it feels like family. The teachers and staff are approachable and willing to help when you have a problem. Having the small high school experience alongside the college experience was the right decision - I wouldn't have it any other way! Go dragons!

    #2 Best High Schools for STEM in Stockton Area

    Senior: The classes here are amazing! Not only is every student enrolled into this school automatically get honors and AP classes, but free college classes as well! The students here tend to be nice for the most part. I never have to worry about someone stealing my things. I lost my phone 2 or 3 times and every time, a student returned it to me. The only thing is since it is a small school, rumors tend to spread really fast. There's a little bit of bias towards students in Leadership as well. BUT, overall, this is an enjoyable school to be in.

  4. Stockton Collegiate International Secondary School

    • Stockton Unified School District, CA
    • 6-12

    #4 Best High Schools for STEM in Stockton Area

    Alum: Stockton Collegiate is a very small school, with a very tight knit community surrounding it. The teachers are very helpful and friendly, and because class sizes are so small you will get a lot of one on one time. The material covered at this school is extremely difficult, basically college level course material once you reach the 11th grade, but the faculty is determined to help you succeed as long as you meet them halfway. It is highly ranked on US News and World Report for a reason.
    The school culture is lacking, this isn't a place where school spirit from the students is high, nor does it have any sports teams. It is located in the middle of Stockton's downtown, and if a high school student has a high enough GPA they can leave the campus to go eat at the shops around town. This also comes with caveats though, as Stockton's downtown even in broad daylight isn't always the safest place to be.

    #5 Best High Schools for STEM in Stockton Area

    Alum: The students who attend come from a wide variety of backgrounds. The school offers a good range of courses but seems to have more of a bio/science focus than a technological focus. There are quite a few good teachers here who effectively teach the course and keep the students engaged but those teachers teach mainly high-level courses (AP, IB, advanced). If you want to take on something more challenging, the option is there. A good amount of clubs exist and more are created every year. This school is lacking in educational/tech clubs though. Although opportunities exist at this school, people don't really spread the word, so sometimes you have to go out of your way to find them. The campus is a Spanish/Mission style campus. It has open landscaping and is kept relatively clean. Parking has become a problem in recent years but at least there is a decent amount of cheap delicious food near campus.

    Niche User: Great school! Love the concept of our world's truly first global academy. The plans for the school and the curriculum is stellar, compared to most other independent schools. It is a truly unique concept and environment.
