Senior: My experience at BCHS was wonderful. The campus, staff members, and peers are so inviting and want the best for you. Everyone views each other as family and teachers want a deep bond with each student. Not only is BCHS a lovely establishment, but also has rigorous academic courses that will challenge you and push you to be prepared for college. Along with the adamecis there are plenty of different extracurricular classes and activities to participate in. I particited in theater, art class, athletic training class, and even debate. I was also a three sport athlete, running cross country and track, and playing soccer. Some of our most exciting events are homecoming and coming together with your class to build floats, formal/ prom, boondogs (class vs. class relay race & challeneges), and powderpuff! At BCHS we encourage and support one another by going out to as many sport games as we can and cheering on our peers. We have built such a strong community and put God first in everything!...Read 97 Reviews

Senior: Shafter High School is very friendly, the teachers and the environment is lovely, learning new things doesn´t have to be like a chore as felt in other schools. One of the things I would like to see little change in is the overpressure in AP classes like they place you in there, but don´t expect us to remember much from being online the whole last year. I think it is really fun to look forward to school and as a senior, I honestly have to say I think I am going to miss it. It has taught me things like the value of confidence, communication, dedication, passion, and resistance, to be fierce and rule the world you live in. Not all from school has to consist of education but once the Shafter High School has taught that and then so much more I feel confident for anything and thankful for all the educators and counselors I was able to be around and get any additional help from...Read 279 Reviews

Senior: California Virtual Academy has been a life-changing school for me. Before I attended CAVA, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and was not physically able to attend school. Around the same time, a student in the class above me was threatening my life and it was no longer safe for me to attend school. I was at a loss of where to go. After doing a home-hospital assistance program with my high school for a semester, I signed up for CAVA. This school allowed me to not only continue my high school education smoothly despite the circumstances, but granted me a flexible schedule, allowed me the time to create my own business, to practice and refine my hobbies and skills, and provided me with amazing, helpful teachers. The entire staff is understanding and always there to help. This school is fantastic, and is amazing for any student who is unable to attend regular school or would like a more flexible schedule to achieve their extracurricular goals...Read 183 Reviews

Niche User: My overall experience at Vista West was amazing. I was able to catch up on all my credits that I had fell behind on and ultimately graduate early because I was so far ahead. The teachers here made the school feel like another home. They involved themselves into the students lives. Not only did they care about your grades they also cared about their students. I feel like Vista West shouldn't be a continuation school because their teachers are so caring and knowledgeable unlike some teachers in regular high school. If I could go back in time I would do it all over again...Read 1 Review

Senior: North Kern Christian School's staff is extremely supportive and helpful when you approach them for help, no matter what time of day. I would not be the person I am today without their example. If I could change anything about this school it would be the limited amount of social school activities offered. The school as a whole would have the opportunity to become closer united if there were more social activities. Also, to promote unity, I believe Sport teams would also benefit that movement...Read 1 Review

Parent: We have one child who graduated and one child who is still at Carey. If we had to make the choice again on which elementary school to send our children to, we would not hesitate in sending them to Carey again. ...The entire experience has been positive. The administration and teachers are amazing individuals that really care about the children and are always looking at ways to improve themselves and their teaching methods. The facilities are top notch and the teacher to student ratio allows the teachers to really know each child. The open communication and responsiveness to issues addresses any issues that arise...Academics is not as rigorous as some other schools, but it allows the children to grow in other areas.Community is a huge part of The Carey experience as well. The families of the children are present and invested in their children's lives and are great role models. They are also very fun!Our eldest was well prepared for middle school and the transition was seamless.Read 10 Reviews

Parent: After two years of horrible public school experiences (bullying and lack of support from the school), we found Living Wisdom School. From the minute we met the staff we were convinced this was the school for our daughter. They approach each student with care, support, and kindness. We saw our daughter blossom under their care and grow in ways that brought tears of joy. In fact, I cried at every Parent-Teacher conference because the feedback they provided to us reflected how well they knew our daughter--something that didn't happen in the two previous years of high school. I can't recommend this school highly enough. I can't even imagine where we would be today if we didn't have the opportunity to enroll our daughter in this school. Our daughter graduated from Living Wisdom as a whole person -- confident, compassionate, mindful, and ready to take on college!...Read 20 Reviews
