Sonora High School

• Sonora Union High School District, CA
• 9-12
• 142 reviews

Alum: My time at Sonora High was very rewarding. The academic quality is excellent, especially when matched with the quality of the teachers. Advanced Placement classes are rigorous and the teachers ensure that each student understands the material. There are plenty of extracurricular activities to choose from and drama and band are particular community favorites. The major problem with the school is that there is infighting between staff and administration which, while it is behind the scenes, affects the atmosphere of the school negatively

Senior: This is only my second year at Summerville but it has been an amazing experience. The faculty are friendly and you can tell they care about the students. Even though it is a smaller school, they have an elective for just about anything you could possibly be interested in. One of the coolest opportunity’s that I have had at this school has been meeting foreign exchange students from all over the world.

Tioga High School

• 9-12
• 8 reviews

High School Senior: My overall experience of high school is pretty great. I do see the same exact people everyday, but I have gone to school with these kids ever since I was younger and you just feel more like a family with each and everyone of them. It's so much easier to connect with the teachers and get more help when you need it. I have had a blast in high school and I wouldn't take back any minute of it.

Soulsbyville Elementary School

• K-8
• 2 reviews

Parent: This is a wonderful school. It is very clear that the teachers and administration really care about their students.
Their Special Education services are absolutely the best in the county. The rating for diversity is deceiving because the whole county is low in diversity.

Niche User: Most people totally love this school, but if you don't click with the cliques, it can be a little tough for children and families. What the children get from education here, though, is so worth it. It really helps keep children children. It's a very tight-knit, close community that is pretty fun to be a part of. The way learning is presented keeps most kids interested in learning and develops creativity and self-expression.

• Sonora Union High School District, CA

• 1 review

Senior: This school was great for me because I am a great independent worker. However, students who need an extra push may consider a school that requires daily attendance. This school met the needs for my anxiety from public school to go away- going here gave me the opportunity to begin work and realize that the people in high school do not routinely exist in one's life. I was also able to graduate and attend college early. As a student who struggled in history, these textbooks' language was simplified to better meet my needs. I was also able to continue in higher math because my math teacher switched schools. It was great having a general education teacher who specified in the subject of my interest. Overall a 5 considering all of the great things that I was able to accomplish in less than a year of being there.

Don Pedro High School

• Big Oak Flat-Groveland Unified School District, CA
• 9-12
• 7 reviews

Senior: I have loved going to Don Pedro High School because of how one on one the students are with the teachers. We are a very small school, so yes we do not get as much opportunities as larger schools especially with the sports. However, the teachers really take pride in our education and give us the one on one attention larger schools sometimes tend to fail on. I also really love how the teachers prepare us for the real life better than any other school I have experienced.

Dario Cassina High School

• Sonora Union High School District, CA
• 10-12
• 3 reviews

Junior: I enjoy how the school is smaller than most schools. There arent many bullying problems and everyones like a family. The teachers are pretty understanding and when you have a problem youre able to work through it and find the best solution possible. There is good food and you never feel trapped which i find is helpful in school. Overall its a nice peaceful environment where i am able to learn and socialize. There isnt much i would change at Cassina besides being able to leave the campus because theres a gas station. The school is a good school and theres nothing i would change.
