They made life-long friends through their involvement in a wide array of extra-curricular activities and classes. My husband and I appreciated the care and personal attention given to our daughters by the faculty, staff, and administration. It was the perfect choice for our family!

Benicia High School

• Benicia Unified School District, CA
• 9-12
• 340 reviews

Senior: My four years at Benicia High School have been great! Being a part of leadership I feel like we've done our best to create a good school culture. Academics as well as college readiness are pretty good. However, I feel the college prep was crammed into senior year and should've started when we were freshman so we could have been thinking about certain things over the entire span of high school. I also feel that athletics at Benicia could be improved and equally funded.

Public Safety Academy

• Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District, CA
• 5-12
• 22 reviews

Senior: I believe the teachers at The Public Safety Academy are great at what they do and have great relationships with their students. I also believe the courses are great, but there is very a small selection in electives available and many students complain about that. There is also a small amount of clubs and sports, and there is not much focus on it. A big reason for this is because the campus is simply not big enough to support extracurricular activities. Along with that there is a lower population of students compared to other high schools, so everyone knows everybody. Some people take this as a good thing, others don't. PSA doesn't give you the "high school experience" but I still believe it is a great school that focuses on education and it is probably the dream school to a student wanting to pursue a career in public safety. The biggest problem I can acknowledge is lack of in-school events and communication.

Parent: I was so happy that I made the decision to chose VCS. My kid is international stutdent for Grade 7 in VCS this summber. VCS provided free summer camp to all international students for basic English training and funny tour in Solano. All teachers are so nice to support new students to solve the problem they have.
School is keeping interaction with parents, and taking very helpful action to the demand from parents.
VCS's activity and bible class provide student a proper worldview.
We love VCS!

Elise P. Buckingham Charter Magnet High School

• Vacaville Unified School District, CA
• 9-12
• 151 reviews

Senior: My attendance at Buckingham has been an overwhelmingly positive experience for me. The staff and administration are dedicated to the success and well-being of students and the campus provides a very unique culture and community that has benefited me greatly. There is a deep connection between teachers and students, and teachers have office hours and make a major effort to better the lives of their students. There are many opportunities for those who are struggling, and many extracurriculars offer unique experiences. Buckingham is very different than public school, which I have often found myself grateful for and I will forever remember my experiences.

Will C. Wood High School

• Vacaville Unified School District, CA
• 9-12
• 207 reviews

Junior: The most beautiful factor the school has is their family-like relationship with their students. Several times they have changed our special periods, from Academic Success to a, in a sense, a constant changing homeroom all the way to what we call Advisory and Flex Time. If you're responsible enough, then you can choose the type of classes yo go to, whether it's a study hall, activities, or a guest speaker from a college or profession. In addition, the school has in place clubs/groups such as Link Crew or the Yearbook Club, students who make our school year an interesting one, from ballerina teachers and dances to theme weeks and guest speakers. While I generally don't participate in much, I have seen and heard the actions of our administration for a good two school years to know well enough that this is a school many should be glad to have.

Vanden High School

• Travis Unified School District, CA
• 9-12
• 383 reviews

Senior: As soon as I enter Vanden, I'm greeted with, "Hey! How's it going?" Not only are the students kind, but the faculty work as hard as they can to educate their classes accordingly. Though Vanden places emphasis on education, the wellbeing of each student is a main priority. I always felt like my health was important and prioritizing it only further benefitted my academics. In addition to great academics, the sports and extracurriculars are diverse. Vanden is home to programs that bring students together and strengthens their camaraderie. Swim and tennis has improved my skills within each sport, but also formed close relationships with other teammates I wouldn't have interacted with before. I could continue to list all the wonderful aspects of my experience with Vanden High School, but it would only exceed the character limit. In short, Vanden has given me opportunities to pursue my studies in preparation for my bright future along with building the confidence within myself to do so.

Robert Semple Elementary School

• 1 review

Parent: Great staff, great admin , very diverse and all are accepted here!! The parent group maybe small but works very hard to plan and sponsor many fun family events. Teachers work many extra hours after their duty day to make sure everything is ready for their students. The place may need some paint - but the heart of the school is the people that work there to help each and every student succeed !

Golden West Middle School

• Travis Unified School District, CA
• 7-8
• 4 reviews

Freshman: Honestly, out of all the people I know who went to Golden West with me, I am probably one of the only ones to like it more than average. The school in general is not the best it could be for their students, but at least there was only one threat of someone shooting up the school when I was there. Sure, it may be lacking in some areas, but there were enough chairs in all the classes that I was in. I had a good life then too, the academics set their students up (for the most part) for high school. Some of the teachers may seem sketchy but are okay overall. Wonderful and fun sports.

Senior: I am currently a senior in high school at North Hills Christian School. I have attended North Hills since Preschool. North Hills is a great, safe school for children. The teachers are great at doing their job. The school has a very diverse population. There may not be many students attending North Hills now, but North Hills is in the makings of becoming a great, well-known school with a great population of students!
