#178 Best Public High Schools in California
Senior: Santa Cruz High is a very good high school that gives students the opportunity to choose a very academically rigorous path through high school, or focus more on exploring their interests with unique classes that will inspire them. Or both! The 8-classes-per-year model (optional) allows students to take more classes that interest them. It is in a great location close to downtown (which has restaurants for students to go to at lunch), and a few minutes from the beach as well as Westcliff. Some of the teachers are absolutely amazing, while others are very much the opposite. Admin is sometimes hard to work with, and while there are a large amount of clubs, and it is easy to start one yourself, they often lose momentum and do not accomplish much. Students really have to seek out information/opportunities/resources unless they are clearly struggling. The CTE program is amazing! The art department in general is great. Sports are good, but school spirit is nonexistent!
