Sutter Middle School in East Sacramento serves about 1,200 students in grades seven to eight. The school has a reputation for strong academic success.

The school focuses on preparing children for high school, college and beyond, with rigorous programs that follow California Common Core educational standards.
While students achieve higher than average test scores, it is not all reading and writing for the Sutter Miners! Whether students enjoy theatre, science or basketball, there is something for everyone here, with clubs for creative writing, skateboarding, anime and more.
Other fun activities include field trips, school concerts, dances, and students versus teachers dodgeball. Miner mascot spirit is robust, with track, volleyball, cross country, golf and more to cheer on.
Parent and community participation is high at Sutter, along with student body leadership. These elements provide an overall structure to help students succeed and live up to Sutter’s motto, “The Pride of the City.”

I loved this school and would say that over and over again forever. The teachers I had were beyond amazing and really cared about all of their students. I was in the GATE program and really appreciated the education I was able to receive through that program and this school. It is extremely diverse and a lot of the kids that go there care a lot about their academics, which I appreciate. I graduated four years ago and every time I go back to visit all of my teachers still remember me and actually care about hearing where I am in life.

Miwok middle is said to be one of the best schools in the city but I would not say that at all. I am overwhelmed by everything they have us doing. All of my teachers will assign work and homework like they are the only teacher I have, making it hard to balance everything and still have a good sleep...

This School is awesome in everything! Where dreams are nurtured and futures are shaped.

The school is subpar at best. There are rats and cockroaches (and other disgusting bugs) within the locker room. The PE teachers do not care about the health of students; they make them lie on the filthy gym floor everyday, and they never clean them. Some of the teachers here are great, but the othe...
