    Western Sierra Collegiate Academy is amazing school. The school focuses on learning the concepts and striving for excellency, not just getting good grades, and is more than willing to help students or give them second chances.

    If you enjoy learning and want to skip out on all the usual teenage drama, this is the school for you. Because the campus and student body is smaller, you are forced into close quarters with your fellow students, effectively squashing cliques from day one and making bullying nonexistent.

    The school treats their students like adults and expects them to act like adults, fostering maturity and an ability to advocate for yourself, ask for help when needed, and be able to make mistakes.

    Overall, WSCA is a great school with a diverse student body and a staff that genuinely care about your future and personal happiness. Many students here plan on attending the best universities in the US, typically involving STEM.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO THOSE WHO LOVE TO LEARN
    This school's problem's lie mostly within the students. We don't have a cafeteria, a field, or life classes (woodshop, home eco, life skill) but it does prepare for college studies and our College and Career center does support us greatly in finding our passions. They help get us into opportunities whether it's a college visiting or scholarships that fit us.
