This school’s approach is exciting to many kids, a whole new approach to learning. However, their curriculum and its admin fails at this. In English classes, their teacher must use the website “Riveting Results” to teach kids how to be clear in their reading and to “expand” vocabulary.

However, it is pushed onto them without question and is considered “a trusted source” when my kid has blatantly admitted that they cheated on all of these assignments. Not to mention all the new teacher i’ve been hearing about have some big drama connected to them.

Some classes in Junior year feel borderline impossible to pass, like in U.S History. My kid has been stressed to the point of a mental breakdown. This is unacceptable!!! No school or class should be causing my kid to fall under because they forget to grade assignments regardless if they are still in school as well.

This school opened the 2023/2024 school year and took in its first class of 9th graders, and my daughter was one of them.  The first year was just ninth graders, which made for a great experience.  The 2024/2025 school year will add in a new class of 9th graders and also include promoting 9th graders and new students going into 10th grade.  The Executive Director, Kevin Dobson is amazing.  He has such a hands-on approach and his love for education is infectious to the students.  In the first year I have watched him build a school culture and guide the students in wanting to be the best version of themselves.  He has tackled all the first year challenges with transparency and compassion.  He makes every student feel important, valued and that they belong. My daughter was given the opportunity this first year to connect with the community through various volunteer and community service oriented projects.  She also got to take dual enrollment classes through American River College.  She also job shadowed at S.M.U.D and Flint Construction to gain valuable job experience.  She also got to participate in soccer, basketball, and track.  My daughter loves this school as they get to learn in teams and through hands-on experiences, instead of book only learning which can make students fail to stay engaged.  There are also many opportunities provided for field trips, school events, and enrichment.  The students even took a trip to Chinatown to immerse in the culture and practice their mandarin. The school promotes good values and has a strong focus on taking accountability.  Students attended job fairs, community events, and even got to do a first semester celebration snow trip.  The end of the year activities included a week of informational and engaging activities with community partners as well as a field trip to Velocity Aqua Park.  All of the teachers and staff at the school think outside the box and provide excellent support to the students.  Whether students are extremely strong students and need more challenging content or struggle and need academic support this school will provide it. I am excited to be returning for our second year here next month!
