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.

Western Sierra has very caring teachers that genuinely care about students but also are limited in resources to help students. They do have some resources but not an abundant amount. Parents often come in to help for day such as pi day but it is rare.

It's a good school that works to prepare you for college classes and rigor. The staff works to make sure their students succeed.

It looks like a warehouse and is surrounded by businesses off the freeway. However, the education is good and they have extra optional office hours after school for if students have any questions. There are no illegal activities or real issues within the school to worry about. It's very clean and focused.
