Middle College High School

  Rating 3.79 out of 5  413 reviews

Senior: Middle College High School is a good place for students to attend especially if they are minorities and are ambitious for a greater level of education. Students work rigorous college courses alongside high school classes! You will miss out on a traditional high school experience when regarding sports and bands, but the friendships made at this school will last a lifetime. If there is one thing that needs to change here, it would be a wider acceptance of different races and students with different backgrounds. Some students aren't very accepting, and that can make some students feel extremely left out...Read 413 Reviews

Senior: Mountain House High School is a great school with teachers who are truly eager to help their students. Most of them give great lectures and provide support to those who need extra help with material. They are very approachable...The students are also nice. It is not very hard to make new friends and to find an accepting community to support you throughout your high school years.There are many high school events and rallies designed to improve high school spirit. They include many fun performances and games that, although geared towards upperclassmen, are fun to attend and see. ...Overall, MHHS is a great high school to be at!Read 100 Reviews

  Rating 5 out of 5  1 review

Middle School Student: I find the diversity of Wicklund to be easy to fit in to. I've seen people of almost any ethnicity I know of and racial bias is rare. People freely showed that they're comfortable in their own skin which makes it easy for others to be themselves despite some bullies in my grade level. The education is also very good and is improving since the district is starting to further itself from the old school culture of paper and pencil by introducing chromebooks. I found that the teachers were much better in the past but the school hired some new teachers in my seventh grade year after many of them had to be transferred to another school in the district. Some of those new teachers weren't very good and were even disliked by a lot of students. I think the school should hire more teachers that truly enjoy teaching and bring joy to the classroom...Read 1 Review

Senior: What I love about Lincoln High School the most is the overall spirit and immediate love you get as soon as you step on campus. Lincoln High School does a phenomenal job of making all students and staff feel safe, welcomed and offering any help we need. Lincoln High School is known for having an atmosphere that makes and helps students to feel comfortable to be themselves. Lincoln High School administration and staff does an amazing job making anyone feel accepted, you will immediately become a part of the Zebra family. As we always say "Once a zebra, always a zebra." I will forever be thankful for the opportunities and experiences Lincoln High School has given me or even be a part of! If I could see anything change in the future is getting better facilities for sports! Other than that, I would never wish to change this school for the world...Read 519 Reviews

  Rating 3.82 out of 5  238 reviews

Alum: I transferred schools in my Junior year of high school to Liberty Ranch, because I wasn't getting a good enough education at Jim Elliot High School. I am so glad I made the switch. I had some pretty great teachers and I knew I was learning so much more than my previous school. Unlike my old school which had a lot of insincere snobby people, I met so many more people at Liberty Ranch who were much more down to earth. There will always be some drawbacks and one of my closest friends didn't necessarily enjoy her experience as much as I did. The only thing that is a bit frustrating is now in order to visit the school you have to go to the office to receive a visitors pass, which isn't necessary, because that doesn't improve security. Honestly, Galt (CA) is one of the safest places to live. Nothing really ever happens in Galt. Well anyways, I hope this feedback is helpful!...Read 238 Reviews

Senior: Its been up and down I would say. I hate the administration, not gonna lie. I was in Leadership for 3 years, and I was in the office a lot because of it. The school could do so much more for the kids, but instead, it was like they were more against us. They focused more on how they could look good than the well being and mental heath of their students. However the teachers are amazing and I loved most of my teachers. We even have a transgender teacher, which is amazing for the diversity! I hate the focus of boy sports over girl sports, but yeah...Read 374 Reviews

Alum: I attended Jefferson and it was a great experience. The staff really cared about the students and were a great source to turn to for receiving help and addressing concerns. The academics help prepare students well for high school. There was a lack of electives at the time but I took part in the band program, which was really dedicated and one of the most memorable aspects of middle school. The food quality was bad, hopefully it improved from then...Read 1 Review

Niche User: To be honest when you are a Current student at any school you would say a lot, like it’s not good it not giving me what I wanted. But trust me when you leave you high school and graduate then you realized that how many memories you have made with you classmates with your teacher. You will miss each and every second. I can proudly say that Tokay is one of the best high schools out there. Teachers are very helpful, I literally don’t have words to describe my teachers. Just wish them the best because where ever I am today it’s because of them...Read 359 Reviews

Sophomore: I love Lodi High! I am surrounded by new opportunities and chances for new experiences every day. So many people (teachers and students) will show that they care about me and each other, and we want to help one another succeed. The school does its best to prepare students for and ultimately encourage college readiness. However, because the school is not very racially diverse, I would like to see more representation of minorities or ways t spread understanding, along with bringing unity to our school. I would like to see faculty, administrators, teachers, and other students more often to speak to us, so we can form closer bonds as a school and create a greater sense of school spirit...Read 455 Reviews
