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.

My experience that I've had with Natomas high school is fun and exciting. There is a lot of things that students can do such as school dances, sports, and you can even create your own club. I love going to football games and seeing the school spirit. The only time I had a bad time at the school is when I arrived 10 minutes late at a school dance and they didn't want to let me in the gate. But overall my experience was fun and I would definitely recommend Natomas high to any upcoming freshman student or anybody that wants to transfer.

My time at NHS was a roller coaster of many emotions. However, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the teachers I learned from that taught me academically and inspired me in different ways. They also offered ways for me to have a creative outlet so that I could pursue my dream of performing and dancing while being in school. I will always remember the people who I connected with at Natomas High because I couldn't have asked for better peers and instructors to be around.

I loved high school. Natomas afforded me the opportunity to be able to experience college without debt and to be able to make good choices in life. The counselors were encouraging, and I just hope that they continue to push the students towards greatness.

As a student going into her third year at this school, I have the right to say this school sucks. I will not suggest sending your child here even if you think it is the only option. The school has no respect for the students followed by no care. The school only cares about the football team which ha...
