The best part of attending Nipomo High is the environment is very welcoming and the weather is always great. The worst part is that our area doesn't really get that much attention since we're surrounded by cities, so for sports, we aren't the greatest in terms of rankings and winning league or CIF. I would like to see the school grow and gain more students as time goes on.

Graduated and hated everyday on campus. Realized looking back how terrible this school was. After college I realized I learned nothing from this highschool.

I graduated with the class of 2019 at Nipomo High School and I can truthfully say I had a good overall experience attending. My four years there were good, I do not really have anything bad to say about this school. I would recommend this school to anyone, it is the perfect place to spend four years becoming educated.
