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.

Sierra Pacific High School is a great school. It has been great spending the last 4 years there. The teachers are helpful and kind. The Business and Finance Program that this school offers has been a great learning experience teaching us about real life financial situations.

The teachers and staff have to be the best parts of my experience. Whoever I've encountered have always been kind, and my teachers have always been supportive/encouraging. The only thing that's been bad about my experience here at school would be the bathrooms. Most of the time, there would be dirty toilets or stalls that haven't been cleaned up.

I loved the faculty as well as the academics. However, the student body as a whole was not welcoming to new students. Also, the cyber bullying is horrifying and traumatizing. As a person who went there for not long, I could not wait to leave because of the toxicity of my peers. SPHS has an opportunity to grow and be amazing. The resources are great. They just need to get a handle on the bullying on Twitter and Snapchat

This is a terrific H.S. You can also take fuel credit courses on campus and receive college credit. The local community college is next door and helps the HS students prepare for their next steps. The campus is beautiful and clean. Great School!
