GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall, I had an amazing experience at Sierra High School. Most teachers are incredibly helpful. One change I would like to see is stricter rules for students vaping in bathrooms. Instead of locking most of the bathrooms at school since most people have to genuinly use the bathroom, I would like those individuals to be called up to the office and face appropriate consequences, like being suspended for a week.

I attended Sierra High School all four academic years, 2018-2022. I definitely grew a lot because of the environment. I think environment shapes who you are, and with a safe one like Sierra's, I was able to focus on an education rather than my safety.

It wasn't anything too special, but a few of the teachers there really want you to succeed and that pushes you forward. But there's also other teachers who confuse you and don't really help you out. Overall it's been a decent experience, definitely a better experience when you have good friends.
