Senior: Have been having a amazing overall time here. Good Teachers, decent food only had it once (had my own from home). Also met the love of my life. It’s a great school would give it a ten, but it needs a little more work on small stuff. Otherwise amazing school I love it!... Read 23 reviews

Sophomore: The most important thing in Jesuit High School is that I feel like an individual. The school and faculty make immense effort towards pushing every student out of their comfort zone, and in doing so cause everyone to stand out. I wouldn't have joined the volleyball team if not for Jesuit High School's counseling department pushing me to take risks and try out for a cut sport that I had been on the bubble of trying out for over the past year. I wanted to join the team, but was filled with self-doubt. The affirmations and support offered to me by the counseling department thrusted my mentality towards standing out among a thousand students and not only trying out for a team, but making it too....

Senior: West Campus ranks as the number one high school in Sacramento again! West Campus is an inclusive, diverse school filled with the most caring students and staff. Although the curriculums taught may be tough, West Campus challenges its students and encourages them to work harder. In addition, there are many events such as the Halloween carnival, multicultural fair, and rallies where students and staff dress up and show their spirit. The students and staff are so enthusiastic, it makes events extremely fun! This especially goes with the rallies. During rally week, everyone dresses up for each spirit day and helps their class paint their themed posters. On rally day, teachers are chosen to judge each class’ posters, games, chants, 3D object, etc. These rallies bring students together as they bond through competition. There are also many clubs for almost anything. If there isn’t one you wanted, you can make a club! West Campus is a great school and really feels like a second home.... Read 428 reviews

Senior: I’m currently a Senior here at Christian Brothers High School and I got to tell you, I’m absolutely loving it. I love how CB has a different variety of programs, classes, clubs, and sports to choose from. Ever since I joined, I have received nothing but kindness from both faculty and students. The teachers do actually care about their students, and help them on their academic journey. The atmosphere here is just so welcoming. There are so many opportunities here at CB, and it really does prepare you for college. I recommend you go here for high school!... Read 260 reviews

Junior: I like how St. Francis High School prepares you for college and the future careers you want to pursue. There's a variety of college-preparatory courses fit for any student regarding her academic background. This school is competitive athletically and academically as it puts a lot of pressure on hard-working students. The administration, wellness counselors, and college counselors are very active as they provide many resources that benefit students struggling mentally or with grades. As an all-girls school, the sisterhood community is empowering and motivates students like me to get involved in leadership and social opportunities as a female. St. Francis is very welcoming to new students and there is always a place where you can fit in whether it's clubs, friend groups, campaigns, or volunteer groups. The teachers provide engaging lessons to help motivate students to participate and share ideas with each other. Go Troubies!... Read 301 reviews

Parent: This school has amazing teachers and admin, that will strive to help students succeed. My child came from public school to this private school, and she immediately fit in. From being a shy child to leaving as a leader in her community. The Parent teacher organization is Amazing! They are organized and put 1000% in this school, helping daily from event to event while supporting teachers and admin in all their needs. I came into this school community not knowing anyone and I’m leaving it with people I know call my family! It may not look like a beautiful school on the outside but on the inside, you will find a community like no other!... Read 25 reviews

Parent: I have three children attending CCS: 1st, 3rd and 10th grades. My 10th grader began at the school in 5th grade. Our experience through middle, elementary and high school has been outstanding. My 9th grader has had the opportunity to participate in student government, take an AP class (and passed the AP exam to earn college credit!), plays 3 sports and enjoys a campus climate that is welcoming and supportive. He also participated in a Law Academy program, where he was able to visit the local state and federal courts, learn from attorneys and judges, and learn how to read legal cases. It was an incredible opportunity for a high school student. Our kids have all enjoyed the support of deeply committed teachers, who show a sincere interest in their success and growth academically, spiritually, socially and emotionally. The school employs full time campus security and we feel extremely comfortable with the campus safety plan. The new Head of School, Tim Wong, is outstanding!... Read 120 reviews

Senior: I’ve been a student of Bradshaw Christian since Kindergarten. I’ve had amazing, supportive teachers, made lifelong friendships, and created memories to last a lifetime. I believe I’ve received a competitive education with opportunities to prepare me for college, i.e Honors and AP classes. Classroom sizes are small, making for easy accessibility to teachers; however, diversity in economic and cultural background is low. BCS is a safe school and I feel that the teachers genuinely care about the students. K-8 has a lot of hand-holding, making for a rough transition to High School. Overall, I love my school and wouldn’t wish to be anywhere else.... Read 109 reviews

Alum: As a foster child, it is known how difficult it is to stay at a single school as we are prone to move often. Complications and at home living can be quite terrible for most of us. While I resides in this school it made me feel like I had a second home. The school offers many programs for students to spend time within the school grounds. The classes were flexible and as someone who missed out on almost 2 years of highschool, I was happy to announced that I graduated a few weeks early. This school was not just a home but the foundation of my adult life and I wouldn’t have traded this school for any other. What lucky opportunity I had to be a student at this installation....

Senior: The School of Engineering and Sciences has a great student environment. Its teachers are very supportive, with many extending into their personal time to help those in need. The students themselves can be very supportive. There are many who are knowledgeable in the area of engineering and can lend a hand. The resources at this school are also amazing. Equipment from laser cutters to 3-D printers are tools that students have access to. Many engineering projects also revolve around these tools. In addition, during engineering classes, students are able to get hands-on experience in working on such tools, something that I personally have loved. Overall, the School of Engineering and Sciences is a great school where students can find success in areas involving communication, collaboration, and problem-solving.... Read 64 reviews

Alum: Sacramento New Technology High school is a small but very welcoming school with a friendly ambiance. The fact that the school is smaller than other made getting help so much easier and faster. Whether I needed to speak to my counselor about my personal life, school or even college, or speaking to my teachers one-on-one it was almost effortless and made high school all the better. It truly felt like a family because everyone knew each other pretty well and when there were new faces, everyone was welcoming and open to new faces and friendships. This school also offers classes that one completed, will count you as college credits, so you can be one step ahead even before Senior year!... Read 82 reviews

Parent: My daughter is really enjoying this school. We are very happy with the approach to teaching and learning. Students engage in multi-modal, multi-sensory, interactive learning that my daughter finds engaging and creative. The learning sinks in deeply. The Waldorf curriculum seeks to meet the student at their current level of development and help them connect to their own answers to deeper life questions while supporting them to engage with the world around them in a beneficial way. There is emphasis on connecting to one’s own self, each other, and the wider community. Teachers are deeply dedicated to the students and responsive to parents. This is a small school with a close-knit faculty and lots of opportunities for students to contribute to the school and wider community. There's an active community of parents here. My husband is a college professor and I am an NP. We greatly value education and are impressed with the learning that is taking place here. Check it out!... Read 60 reviews

Senior: Cristo Rey is a catholic private school located in Sacramento, California. My overall experience there has been great. Since it is a small school each student has chance to be herd and each teacher has a chance to reach out. Cristo Rey strives to create a safe tight knit community where everyone is welcome. Most of the teachers have succeeded in creating a connection with student and making their classes engaging. Most everybody knows everyone. Help whether academic or otherwise is always available. Cristo Rey offers a work study program. In it I, and students in general, have and will learn different work skills a work forces. The work study program is set up in a way that will help us grow and learn about the real world. Overall my experience at Cristo Rey has been awesome, so don't let the uniform discourage you they are actually not that bad.... Read 147 reviews

Alum: Sacramento Charter High school excels at being a college-prep school. Students learn important college skills to help their transition from high school like; efficient note-taking skills, college application and criteria knowledge, and many others. While most of the funding is raised by St. Hope Public Schools or provided through generous donations from outside donors. Sacramento Charter High School does not have the same financial benefits like high schools in predominantly white and economically well-off areas.... Read 173 reviews
