Sage Hill is a great college prep school. Because its a highly competitive environment, some things aren't as great. The school is not very diverse, and students are intense. The administration has too much power and tries to micromanage everything, and it leads to a huge disconnect between teachers and admin. I had a great experience there overall, and the teachers definitely prepared me for college.

There were some teachers that I clearly remembered like Mr. Parker and some others that have helped changed in the human being I am. I thank the schools for giving me good friends. The academics are tough, but they will prepare for you for college. It might seem intense because everyone wants to get into an ivy league. However, it is a supportive environment. It is also like 10 minutes from the beach and a beautiful school.

Such a great school. The teachers are amazing, the facilities are world class, and my kids love it. The classes are small so kids get to do real discussions, labs, and projects...no more just having to listen to lectures. We have found the coaches and teams are also great. Such a great school!

We chose, as we understand a number of others did, to leave the school after our first year.

The school was made for the wealthy families of Newport Beach. Coming from a family needing financial aid, I felt excluded from the social environment. Needless to say, the school has an excellent academia program that often babys you. The small class sizes serve as a hands on experience but lacks t...
