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.

Natomas Charter is a diverse school with specific programs from Performing Arts to Sciences. It was definitely the right place for me during my high school experience. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a smaller and more hands on place to learn.

Overall amazing school; some facilities, policies and procedures are a bit outdated in my opinion, but this is an Arts based school, so you take the bad with the good. College readiness is top priority which was amazing.

Natomas Charter School of Performing and Fine Arts holds such a special place in my heart because it provided me with a feeling of acceptance. This school focuses a lot on the safety of students and staff, which is greatly appreciated and recognized. One thing the school would greatly benefit from is listening to the student body a little more and considering their opinions.
