University Preparatory

• Shasta Union High School District, CA
• 6-12
• 178 reviews

Senior: The environment at University Prep was very unique. Students are kind, involved and hold each other accountable for learning. The teachers work hard to engage the student in rigorous classes might not not seem appealing. The athletics at Uprep are on the rise and football, volleyball and all sports are extremely supported by both the staff of families of Uprep. As for the campus it is a safe campus that is clean and has respectful students. The classes are challenging but allow us students to be prepared and successful.

Shasta High School

• Shasta Union High School District, CA
• 9-12
• 198 reviews

Senior: Having moved from a high school in the San Francisco Bay Area to Shasta High School, I was not sure what to expect at first. To my surprise, the administration was warm and welcoming making the transfer process simple and easy! The student body is fun and lively and has loads of school spirit to show -- especially during pep rallies or during times of school rivalries. My experience with all teachers at Shasta has been phenomenal, they are personable, knowledgeable, and truly care about the success of their students! Shasta High School has proven to be an incredible learning environment.

Foothill High School

• Shasta Union High School District, CA
• 9-12
• 167 reviews

Alum: Foothill High school is a great school located in small town of Palo Cedro, California. This is a decent sized school with a broad amount of opportunities for every student to experience. Foothill is very dedicated to their sports teams and high standards of education. I enjoyed participating in the Yearbook club while attending Foothill. Both of my younger sisters have followed my footsteps and are now attending Foothill as well, supporting the Cougar pride! I enjoy watching both of my sisters participate on the softball team and compete against other local high school's. I definitely recommend Foothill high school and I am thankful that my sisters get to have the same experiences as me in preparing for their futures.

Junction Elementary School

• Public School
• Palo Cedro, CA
• K-8
• 6 reviews

Niche User: The level of respect from the top down far surpasses any other schools I have experienced this day in age. The staff expects the best out of every student and will not tolerate discrimination at any level. Students enjoy attending school and it shows in our over 93% average attendance rate. The variety of electives and competitive athletic programs available is amazing considering our small size and rural location. The views of Mt Lassen from our many open space areas is gorgeous. With four baseball fields, track, soccer fields and football field, it is a community gathering space not only for our students and their families but also the local little league and soccer organizations.

Anderson New Technology High School

• Anderson Union High School District, CA
• 9-12
• 73 reviews

Senior: My experience at Anderson New Tech really changed my life, and I have never regretted attending this school despite the academic challenges that came with it. They focus on the development of essential skills that students will need in the future, such as collaboration, public speaking, communication, and more. They teach students how to be effective workers and I'm amazed at how much I have changed during my four years at New Tech. I went from a rebellious, shy yet stubborn child who couldn't speak in front of others to save her life, to a mostly-confident senior that can speak in front of crowds almost too easily. While this school does push students harder for academic excellence, i'm glad they do. The teachers at this school are amazing, and are always available to one-on-one help with students. This school has a pretty accepting culture and prepares you a lot for post-high school life and college readiness, which I have appreciated a lot my senior year.

Enterprise High School

• Shasta Union High School District, CA
• 9-12
• 116 reviews

Junior: Enterprise High School, home of the hornets. "We not me", our motto, helped me develop myself as an individual and my surroundings. Being in such an involved, school spirited, exciting environment-you look at things differently. Enterprise has helped me not only strive in academics, but as well helped other needs such as social skills, extra-curriculars, and relationships among everyone. At Enterprise, nobody is left out. The community creates such a comforting feel that in my opinion, is hard to accomplish among a big high school setting. Although EHS exceeds in academics, sports, and relationships, If I were to change one thing, it would be to have more seasonal-themed (school-wide) events, not just club-based events! Enterprise will always remain as an astonishing source of opportunity and education in regards to everybody. Enterprise High School, My School!

High School Senior: I loved this school when I went, but it's been a couple years, and they've made some changes I wish they hadn't. Most of them they were forced to, though, and it's still a great school. I had an amazing experience at Cow Creek.

Alum: Shasta Charter Academy was a wonderful school. I went there for my entire high school years and it was one of the best decisions I made. There was never a bullying problem, all very good kids, and everyone was friends with each other. Academics were excellent and teachers pushed for success. I was never very good at English, but in my senior year, I had a teacher who made an English program that would be best for me so I could succeed.

High School Senior: Stellar is a very welcoming community. It does not have some of the opportunities available at a "normal" school, but it has other opportunities that wouldn't be available at your average high school.

Senior: Redding Christian School has an amazing community of loving students and faculty. There are some teachers who have been apart of some conflict my senior year; however, there are other teachers and faculty who have greatly prepared me for college and been excellent role models in my life. In addition, there are lots of somewhat strict rules. Although I respectfully understand that the rules are for our safety and for the schools policy. Overall, Redding christian is a great school!
