Niche User: It was a really great experience. This school and its staff memebers push their students to do the best they can do. When a student struggles, they are there for them, and are willing to help them. They are flexible and, more often than not, willing to sacrifice their time just to help their students. I was also able to get part of my AA degree finished because I came to LMCHS. Although, it's wasn't easy, it's not impossible because I graduated. They created a wonderful, beautiful, and safe environment to build an amazing community. Totally recommend this school to anyone and everyone, whether if they love academics or not. Wonderful school! Wonderful school!... Read 157 reviews

Senior: As a 13 year student, I’ve truly enjoyed my experience here at AUA. I’ve created many great memories and have been taught viable information from amazing teachers that will assist me as I enter the workforce. I will say that this school is lacking many extra educational programs like an honor society and clubs, and a couple high school teachers tend to change every 1-2 years, which isn’t the best. However, 96% of all the teachers I’ve had truly cared for the well-being of every student. They listen to the students’ opinions, and they give specific help to students if necessary. My time here was well spent, and I’m eager to see what the future holds for this school.... Read 31 reviews

Junior: I loved everything about Kings Christian School - the students, the faculty, the traditions, everything. Kings Christian School is full of students who genuinely care about one another, taking time to write stick it notes with encouraging bible verses and sayings and display them in specific rooms. The faculty is kind and personal, willing to work around individual student's schedules to help the student do their best and participate as much as possible. Kings Christian School even runs a program for homeschoolers - like me - allowing homeschoolers to partake in Kings Christian sports and academics while continuing to take classes at home....

Senior: Sierra Pacific High School is a good school that has students and teachers looking out for you. Teachers look out for their students and students look after each other. But there are a few teachers that sometimes don't look out for you. I would like to see more engagement with the students. I would like Sierra Pacific High School to improve on its food options as it's not healthy to eat those foods nor is it nutritious. I would like to see more students and teachers encouraging students to do their assignments or study for their exams. Overall, Sierra Pacific High School is good for engagement and encouragement from teachers, students, and friends. Still, there are a few teachers who don't care about students succeeding and their food isn't nutritious which is why I give it a four out of five stars.... Read 86 reviews

Senior: I am a senior at Lemoore High School. Both my parents and older sister have graduated from Lemoore Hight School. Lemoore is located in the central valley the heart of the California. It is a small community with a large footprint in agriculture, diary and food manufacturing. The overall school environment is very traditional and family oriented. Many of the teachers, counselors and staff have attended and graduated from Lemoore high school and are now working here. Lemoore high school has a great school to attend. It has great security and safety in place for its students and staff. They offer great on the job training opportunity through career pathways. I personally was able to experience this through the health occupational experience which lead to my decision to peruse a degree in the medical field and become a registered nurse. I would say that they need to invest more on technology as this is something that is important to students and a need for the industry.... Read 196 reviews

Senior: Overall, my high school experience was pretty good. There was a lot of school spirit from everyone in the school. The only things I would change about my school is the limited club and course selection. This is the first year there has been a book club at my school, and I would have enjoyed a club like that throughout my whole high school career if it was available all four years. There’s not very many courses either. There are limited AP and on level classes, which can hinder some students. We have AP Calculus without having normal high school calculus or pre-calculus. This might stop some students from taking a math class because they fear they may fail.... Read 102 reviews

Junior: Hanford West is a great school! The school is very diverse and there are many activities and clubs that celebrate the differences of each and every student! Though the food wasn't the best, it was still good as there was a variety and students were able to pick and choose their own food.... Read 206 reviews

Alum: Stratford Elementary School is a place where staff and faculty make children feel safe, comfortable, and important. The small class sizes make it easy for there to be personal relationships built between the students and staff. The teachers go above and beyond for the students to ensure they succeed in and out of school. It is obvious that the number one goal of everyone who works at Stratford Elementary is to prepare their students for what lies ahead of them in their academic journey. The teachers are eager to work with the families of the students to make sure they are making a team effort to contribute to their success.... Read 1 review
