#1 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Senior: I have been apart of the Natomas Unified School District since fifth grade and it has been an amazing experience! NUSD is infamous for the great diversity in their schools and that is what I love most. As a student of this diverse school district, I have not once felt alienated for my ethnicity. Everyone here is very accepting of racial differences and it's always great to witness all the different cultures everyone has to offer.

#3 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Senior: What I like the most being in the Culver City Unified District is the diversity (teachers, clubs, etc) and I think that Culver High especially needs better and more bathrooms, re-consideration of dress codes, more funding towards other sports teams (not only football), more funding towards certain clubs, especially the Robotics team, more "life readiness" programs, classes, etc, and a bunch of other things that the District needs to work on.

#4 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Senior: I personally liked that Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District provides us with useful technology at the library and even gave every student chrome book to use at School. I think I feel very lucky to be in my Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District and throughout my School Career, it has been a great experience being at School or representing how organized my School district. My School district has not only helped students in their education but also gave students free lunch meals every day so they can eat healthily and stay healthy and strong. I think they do that because of the parent's income is not high enough to the point they can pay for the food each day.

#6 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Senior: I appreciate how the Santa Clara Unified School District takes students needs into consideration and does everything they can to support students with resources that they need (such as school supplies, shoes, food, etc.) Also, SCUSD works hard to provide students with valuable and up-to-date resources that can benefit them academically. They have after school programs available at each school that help with each students needs as well as giving assistant to parents. As a student who constantly takes advantage of teacher help and advice, I appreciate having these after school resources because I'm able to fix any of my errors in my work, better my scores, and ask questions.

Lincoln Unified School District

Stockton, CA

#7 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Senior: What I like about the Lincoln Unified School District is how they have many opportunities for students to get extra help if they are struggling with classes or if they just want to talk to someone about out of school issues. As well as the wide variety of sports programs because over the past few years they have incorporated a sport for students who want to play video games and men’s volleyball. Although, something that could change is how disciplined they are. I’m not saying discipline is a bad thing, but it’s also not a good thing to be too discipline. Students should deserve to go to school and not feel like they are being controlled 24/7.

#8 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Alum: The teachers in the schools try to do right by the students, but more often than not, their hands are tied in the situation. The district does not inquire about the food that is served because it is ‘alright’. The budget for schools should not solely go to sports. I did not want to see the money go straight our football team or our track team that had everything they could imagine. I wanted to see newer textbooks, new literature books, and more science equipment. I didn’t want to hear that my science teacher couldn’t do experiments because we didn’t have the resources. I admit that the classes were unbelievably engaging and I was always prepared to learn something new every day. SDUSD knows how to pick great teachers from time to time. One suggestion for every school district would be: Include computer programming in your curriculum! I am better at making a blog and a video game out of code than I am at writing a 5-page essay on Huckleberry Finn (found out the long way).

#9 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Junior: I grew up and did my studies in SCUSD from kindergarten to now, recently having finished junior year. In elementary, middle, and high school, there were consistent things to be satisfied or unhappy with. For starters, funding has and always was a big problem. In elementary school, we never had paper towels in the restroom. They added menstrual products in the girls’ bathroom, which is nice and all, but most elementary school girls need paper towels more than menstrual products. One thing that I’ve always liked is the diversity. It may be because Sacramento itself is very diverse, but having different and unique people in the classroom makes the learning process more interesting.

#10 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Senior: I love the teachers within they school district. They are caring and always go above and beyond for their students. I feel safe and loved in any of my teachers classrooms and I have learned so much. The district is, unfortunately, heavily underfunded and the teachers are heavily underpaid. The administration in the district gets paid a disproportionate amount in comparison. That might be made a little more okay if they were even half as kind and compassionate as the teachers, but they are not.

#11 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Senior: We are a small district, so focus on high school students to achieve their goals are high. I have enjoyed all my 4 years attending high school there, i won't change it for anything, teachers are great, and help you out if needed. Going to school in a small town has its perks also, everybody went to school together from preschool to your senior year attending, im am taking steps for my next adventure, which is college, the school prepares us for college with help in financial aid classes, college fairs. Meetings with our counslers and teachers to help us decide what field we are interested in and educate us on our furture career. In a few more months i will be a high school graduate, and headed to college to start my life as a adult and find my place in our society, its going to be tough but im looking foward to the challenge, john swett unified school district has prepared me for.

#12 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Junior: Here in Tracy, our school system is amazing. I love all of the activities we do, and how much fun the playful rivalry between the different schools is. The sports that all of our schools have to offer would definitely resonate with almost any person who is not familiar with our district. We have clubs at all of these schools for everyone, no matter how unique someone's interests are. Our schools district makes Tracy feel like a much happier and less boring environment. All of the teachers are very close with their students from my experience, and everyone is able to offer a helping hand. I love Tracy Unified!

Senior: I'm currently a senior at Center High School and these past 4 years have been amazing! What I like about the Center Joint Unified School District is that all the schools are so involved with each other in so many different ways. For example, seniors will do multiple community hours at the lower level schools. There's not really anything that'd I'd like to see change, because I'm content!

#15 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Senior: I love my school. Not only does it have outstanding and meaningful traditions, but I feel that my high school seeks to adapt with the times and produce successful life long learners. There is an array of programs including ASB, Makio, Hobachi, Speech and Debate, Mock Trial, Acadec, AVID, Link Crew, and tens of clubs like Femme, Octagon, Latin, Recycling, Chess and War Games, SMASH, Knitting for a Cause, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and more. I so appreciate that there are so many different groups because I truly feel that everyone can find a place where they belong. I very much respect all of the teachers at my school; they all try to be reasonable and encourage students to take the time to comprehend the material, but they do tend to give out an inordinate amount of homework nightly in comparison to the other high schools in my district. However, I am genuinely proud to be a part of the Long Blue Line because I feel valued and supported by the people around me in school.

It is a great district with high test scores and great exit exam scores! The schools really know how to prepare the students for college!
They have diverse communities and the students are very well rounded in all areas including academics, athletics, leadership, clubs and more!
I wish that they had more classes or activities in the arts, such as dance, theatre and music.
GUHSD is a great district with great board members that are doing great things for our communities.

ABC Unified School District

#18 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Junior: I have been in the abc unified school district for over 10 years! One thing I love about this district is that it is so diverse. There are so many people with different ethnic backgrounds and cultures and I believe this is how schools should be. Another reason why I love this district is because the teachers want to help students succeed. Similarly, the staff here is so supportive of the student’s academics. I think this district needs to work on helping students that need emotional or mental help. We need well trained counselors who know how to get help for these students in need instead of just shrugging them off and telling them that “everything’s going to be okay”. Despite this school district needing to improve on getting better counselors to help with mental and emotional problems in students, abc unified provides the students with all the necessary materials to succeed thought high school, college, and even after college.

Its also productive, getting along well with others. Interact with teachers and students and build morals as well as motive. Great staff and its feel comfortable to walk around and spend times with friends. College residents and preapration for student together with SAT/ACT exam. Also a special education department. Room for advancedment are available to all and external candidates. Clubs and other activity during lunch times. Cultural dances, food and walk of colleges for senior to attend next years. It's a fast pace environment and clean to serve breakfast and lunch to over 200 children daily.

Parent: This school district really cares about the students. Being a parent of a high and middle schooler I moved here in September 2019. I mainly picked this area because of the amazing schools! They will inform you by certified mail if necessary to make sure your child is on track. Coming from overcrowded Long Beach Schools, it’s great to be in a district where the Administers and teachers engage with students and their families keeping us very informed!

#21 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Senior: I have attended school in the UUSD since kindergarden and have loved every second of it. My experience at Upland High School was one of the best things ever. It offers a lot of AP and honors classes that have prepared me for college as well as connected my with a lot of my teachers. Just within my senior year I have been gifted with the best teachers ever. I've never had such a good group of teachers who are so supporting and actually interested in their students lives. On the other hand there are some staff members who should not have even been hired and at times seem so uninterested in their job and students. If I could change something at UHS it would probably be the facilities, everything is just a little out of date. I think if a student had the chance and would only change some facilities it says something really good about the school and the administrators there!

#22 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Senior: Great education and a very inclusive school overall. As a student of color, I feel very inclusive. Although the Bay Area in general is a very liberal part of California, I do feel that there needs to be more diversity in ideas. The staff are very nice and actually care about what they teach students and have always been very understanding. I rated the school district as 4 stars instead of 5 because I believe with everything, perfection cannot ever achieved. As far as school inclusivity and the importance of education, the Alameda Unified School district treats students with care and overall optimism. The Alameda area itself is a very safe community and therefore naturally makes a great place for education.

Sophomore: The Long Beach Unified School District has treated me well during the 6 years I’ve been enrolled. The diversity of students is outstanding so you never seem to be ruled out as a minority. Academics wise, I’ve been provided with a challenging curriculum allowing me to expand my knowledge of certain topics. Although, I feel as if some teachers enjoy their jobs more than others. The food situation disappoints a lot of students as there not many options. All in all, the LBUSD is prodigious!

Mt. Diablo Unified School District

#25 Most Diverse School Districts in California
Senior: Overall I have had a pretty good experience at Mount Diablo. The academics and teachers are pretty good. What I liked most and has helped me a lot is that they have a lot of resources available for you. I'm enrolled in a college and career program where they help you along the process of applying to collage after high school. They help you stay in track by going over your grades and classes to make sure that you have all the requirements in order to attend to college. I like how we have different academies so it fits the path that you want to take after high school. Some of the academies are ACME, IHTA, MBTA, and JROTC. These academies are really helpful as they focus your classes around it to help you prepare for it. I never had a bad experience with the classes or teachers, the staff are nice and the teachers are helpful. The campus itself is what I had a bad experience with, it was always dirty and filled with trash everywhere. I think that the whole school can help by cleaning up.

There are so many aspects that we love including the small student-teacher ratio, the rigor of the academics, the feeling of my children being in a safe environment and the family atmosphere to name just a few.
