My daughter has been here since 7th grade. We love it. The school is a gold balance of in person teaching and socializing, and online learning. We didn't want her going in person 5 days a week. So this is perfect. And she goes at her pace and has more free time to enjoy being a kid.

This school is a massive disappointment with informing parents about their children, as well as keeping track of their work! My child was behind THREE MONTHS and all those who called never said a thing until I went in with him in the next semester, by then he was more behind than he was when he joined!

This is the best school I have ever been to! I was in the class of 2011 and still visit my teacher from sierra charter, I just love it so much! I tend to work ahead of other kids so Clovis unified schools just weren't keeping me interested anymore, i needed to find a school that fit my learning style and let me work to my full potential. I wouldn't have been happy going to any other school.

This school was good to attend, but there is NO accountability when it comes to their transripts! I have been attempting to get mine for WEEKS, to no avail.

This school is exceptional in that it really worked with my daughter both to challenge her and also help in those difficult areas. You really shouldn't lump it in with public schools because their philosophy is so much better. Here they actually care about helping the student, not just getting overall test scores up! All the teachers we have met are great and the kids seem to be polite from what we have encountered. Our daughter has only been attending for six months, but she has improved both her grades and her attitude. She now really enjoys school.
