Going to JSerra has been one of the best experiences of my life. The minute I stepped on campus I felt immediately welcomed into a big family. The teachers are always willing to help and offer an abundance of resources to prepare you not just for college but for life. I have formed lifelong relationships that I would not change for the world.

I was a teacher at JSerra for 4 years. I recently moved to public school, and it made it clear all the ways in which JSerra has room for improvement.1. Though we go through safety trainings and in-services, I learned more in the first 2 days of my public school in-services than I ever did in 4 years...

JSerra is a very high-academic experience for high school. Everyone on here complaining most likely couldn’t handle it. Everyone who applies to this school knows this and understands it is a niche experience. So much misinformation in the bad reviews. But yes, the honors/ap courses are really hard....
