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...Read 143 Reviews

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...Read 35 Reviews

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...Read 1 Review

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...Read 3 Reviews

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.

Parent: Brawerman is a wonderful and nurturing environment for children and their parents. Academically, they're as good as any other independent school in Los Angeles, but incomparable when it comes to compassion and empathy; helping parents raise good, well rounded, and thoughtful children. My son (1st grader) loves school even in a virtual setting, and is excited every morning to hop on Zoom. That says a tremendous amount about the school, teachers, and administration, as video conferencing is challenging for everyone, especially children. Brawerman has done an incredible job pivoting to remote learning, reminding me once again fortunate we are to be a part of this wonderful community...Read 10 Reviews

Parent: My daughter graduated from Thacher last year and I must say that it was a truly transformational experience for her. While studying in a rigorous academic environment, she often spoke of how there was a spirit of cooperation amongst her peers and how her teachers were accessible. She was able to participate in many activities - athletics, performing arts, clubs, etc... during her time at Thacher. While busy, she wasn't overwhelmed. That is what I heard most often from her peers at other independent schools in our home town. Thumbs up to Thacher for preparing my daughter well for life!...Read 95 Reviews
