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.

Ghidotti is very academically demanding and has caring teachers who get to know their students. Problems with scheduling through the mandatory community college program can be detrimental, and Ghidotti affords few opportunities for socialization or success outside of school; but the campus is very nice and, usually, so are the students who go there.

Ghidotti is a wonderful school. I wouldn't have wanted to spend my high school years anywhere else. The teachers are top notch, there are so many great classes both through the high school and Sierra College, and it has been so helpful in preparing for college.

I do not care for the comment that someone maliciously left regarding our school 7/10/11. We kids often take a few years to get the "they're, their, there" thing down. Don't be so critical we're learning. Our school has people from many different backgrounds, social & economic. We are a special blen...
