  1. Mira Loma High School

    • San Juan Unified School District, CA
    • 9-12
    • 318
    #2 Best Public High Schools in Sacramento Area

    Senior: I like the diversity of the school as well as the well established academic programs available. The IB program provides students with the academic prep needed in order to be ready for college and every opportunity to be successful in the college of their choice. However, there is a large divide between the IB students and the non-IB students, which I would like to see changed. I anticipate the integration between all the academic programs at Mira Loma and for every student to be given equal opportunity to be successful in college. Most teachers do a good job of educating the students through challenge and rigor, however there are some teachers that lack in their ability to maintain leadership over the students in their classes. In terms of the social aspect of the Mira Loma, I enjoy the school events like dances and SAR. Mira Loma is quite diverse and the school is very welcoming to all cultures and ethnicities.

  2. Granite Bay High School

    • Roseville Joint Union High School District, CA
    • 9-12

    #4 Best Public High Schools in Sacramento Area

    Junior: Granite Bay High School is a wonderful school. The teachers are extremely dedicated to their students and the overall feeling is welcoming. The only downfall I could find with GBHS is the counseling system in place. My personal experience has been very frustrating with the councilors. They have implemented a system that makes direct contact and conversation seldom. The department does have a system in place, but perhaps it could undergo some modifications. The councilors do their best to help and that is evident but it feels like they are very thinly stretched. Overall, GBHS is a wonderful environment that offers practically everything. Whether your scene is with band, robotics, sports, drama or anything in between you will find your place!

    • Roseville Joint Union High School District, CA
    • 9-12

    #20 Best Public High Schools in Sacramento Area

    Senior: The whole student body atmosphere is quite spirited and the environment is very supportive of students. Whenever a student is seen struggling teacher's do notice and will always reach out to provide extra help and guidance. As well as, the counselors they do a tremendous job of keeping tabs on students. They don't seem to hesitate to call up a student to their office when they seem to be struggling in classes. Also, Oakmont has three full programs that other schools don't have such as IB, AP, and a Health Academy Program. I am currently in their Health Academy program and it's amazing! I have so much hospital experience that I feel prepared when I enter into a nursing program in college!

    Sacramento New Technology High School

    • Sacramento City Unified School District, CA
    • 9-12
    • 76

    Freshman: The teachers at Sac New Technology High School are very helpful and have classes typically under thirty students. The teachers strive to make students successful with a very small learning environment of under or around 200 students. Many of the students are bilingual between Spanish and English and are willing to help each other in either language. Students work together at large group tables rather than desks, and are able to move freely around the classroom. Much of the work is project based, and students have four classes per semester. Students are able to work at their own pace -- more advanced students are able to take classes with other advanced students and upperclassmen, however there are no AP or Honors classes. The school has a few clubs, and students are allowed to create one of their own if supervision of a staff or faculty is present. Dances are held multiple times throughout the year in order to fundraise for the school, along with other fundraisers.

    #28 Best Public High Schools in Sacramento Area

    Freshman: I just started attending Laguna Creek High School as a freshman student, and it has been a really great experience so far! There are so many clubs or extracurricular activities, and I'm always busy doing something everyday afterschool. The best part is getting to go to school plays, musicals, competitions, dances, and so much more fun events!

    • Natomas Unified School District, CA
    • 9-12
    • 374
    #35 Best Public High Schools in Sacramento Area

    Senior: My experience at Inderkum High has been pretty amazing actually. When I first attended Inderkum as a freshman in 2015 I was scared. It was a new environment, new school, and new friends. But I’ve grown to love the school because Link Crew helped me find my way through high school, I challenged my education by being in the International Baccalaureate program (IB), I joined my first sport (men’s volleyball for 4 years counting this upcoming season), joined many clubs, won homecoming prince 2x, I’m an ASB officer, and I have made many diverse friends as our school is ranked 2nd most diverse school in the U.S. Overall, my expectations of high school have exceeded my reality of being college and career ready once I graduate in the spring of 2019!

  7. Cordova High School

    • Folsom-Cordova Unified School District, CA
    • 9-12
    • 324
    #43 Best Public High Schools in Sacramento Area

    Alum: I attended Cordova High School as a freshmen through senior year. High school was such a great experience for me because I went to Cordova. From the teachers, to the administration, to the students, they all made my high school experience the best. Teachers are so dedicated at Cordova, and they really do their job as a passion. They show great care to all their students and make sure they are given all the help and resources to pass. . Moreover, the students are filled with great energy in their academics, rallies, student government and in their clubs. Let me tell you that Cordova students go all out with their creativities in sports, rallies and clubs!

    One thing that I would like to see change in Cordova is, that teachers prepare their senior students for next step which is college. Yes, they do an amazing job at teaching students the senior level writing requirements for high school, but they should also elaborate on making sure they are ready for college writing as well!

  10. Luther Burbank High School

    • Sacramento City Unified School District, CA
    • 9-12
    • 480

    Senior: Luther Burbank is a really acceptable school for all diversity. I felt welcomed, and felt that the teachers does care there for you. My English will always talk to me about my grades and will help and understand my personal problems. All the staff there are really open-minded, they listen to you, give you good advises, and will talk to you in person and ask what's going on.
    The food there are made from all hard-working staff even students! It delicious! Something that I would like the school to change is probably making the lunch line too long! But other than that, Burbank is a welcomed school for everyone!
