Niche User: It's a small school that separates the grades by different hallways, so students from the 8th grade won't be around students in the 6th, or the 6th grade won't see the 7th. It's got a huge playground with new playground equipment. The one problem is the classes can be so far from eachother, but students can still make it on top of they do not doddle.... Read 1 review

Senior: Caliche is an extremely small school and anyone who attends can testify to the fact that the atmosphere is amazing. Our community is very tight-knit and we have the ability to make connections with every student in our school along with the staff.
