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 High School gives many advantages to its students even if they had a rough upbringing, not only does Sierra make us feel welcome but it motivates us to succeed. The only hardships of Sierra high school are the food menus, it's very repetitive which in some cases concerning allergies is good but other times it's underwhelming.

The best part about Sierra high is the school spirit. There are a lot of people who like to cheer on Sierra in any sport games. The worst part are the teachers. Some simply do the bare minimum of their job such as just giving the students assignments and not actually teaching. I'd like to see that change

Overall very friendly and welcoming experience. Felt that, like every school, the covid period was lacking the extra help a classroom gives and I felt so out of the loop with my assignments. I would like more advertisement for non-football sports. Also having the people that little clean the campus instead or leadership or the staff.

I go to this school it’s a great school the homework depends on the classes you’re in each class is different. The coaching for sports is good and the teachers for the most part are kind.
