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.

Natomas Charter school is unlike any school I've been to. I grew up in a not so nice place with no so nice schools and coming to this school has changed my life. I have never seen one fight and people dance together at lunch. The culture is very positive and it's just a good place to be.

I like the diversity in the school. There are many people there that help to create a great community and push each other to achieve their goals. With the high school, there are two academies; one that focuses on college courses and getting ready for college through dual enrollment, and one that focuses on the arts.

Took my child out of PFAA after some time to think. PFAA needs to only accept students that actually want to be there. There are students that don’t care they go there and have got no ambition for any of the areas provided. It really affects the classroom environment. Disruptive and disrespectful st...
