The best part of Natomas High has been so enjoyable some of the people I have got to meet, but some of the worst parts is the utilization of school funding to improve necessities. I would like to see greater involvement in administration to further enhance community involvement and greater funding in arts at our school that could be taken to the next level.

I was a very involved student so I had the chance to really see Natomas for the good and the bad. I tried to make the best out of my experiences. Our sports teams don't too to well often finishing last or close to last in our leagues switching from coach to coach. Our academics are great with many AP classes however we don't have honors or IAB courses. The teachers for the most part try to make it the best experience for everyone. Our school is ranked very high for having one of the best diversity in the nation and it made it very easy to connect with different groups of people. All of campus safety does their best job however they are underrepresented and understaffed. Admin often is not in the same page and many students can see what's happening.

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...
