Graduated in 2000!!…read more I had a good h.s. experience, BV is a diverse group of kids with great tolerance for all kinds. It may be in a "yuppie" area, but BV accepts all kinds equally and fairly! I'm not saying kids didn't get picked on (cuz I know I did) but I feel at least when I went there, it wasn't so cliquey, so yes the cheerleaders hung out w/ the jocks, but that's h.s.) but the class of '99 & 2000 were very close and I feel we were a good group :) Academically we rocked as well as our band....sports...ehhh, not so much lol I had some favorite teacher's. Miller, Mr. Waugh, Mr. Gould Mrs. Yost, Mr. Fischer, and Mrs. Rose were all awesome!! Good memories!!!!

Unfortunate that this is the best school in the area. I've attended 7 different schools throughout…read moreK-12 and this one was easily the worst. Old, OSHA violations in the cafeteria & stage, bland, food that is very easily the worst out of any school I've ever seen, unappealing visuals, confusing layout, unregulated racism and bigotry among students, and a lack of school spirit. The school staff are alright, not bad. Generally helpful. Some have passion. Don't take the painting class, the teacher is notoriously rude and unhelpful. It gets the job done, but if you're looking to move to the Sacramento area, I would consider looking into adjacent cities with better schools.

Bullying and drug abuse and fighting and violence, sexual harassment happens here every single day,…read moreevery week, every month, every year. I've experienced and seen all of it, and when I mean experienced I mean that I've seen so much stuff happen that I have trauma from it and it's so sad. There's another review here that explains more but being a student there is like surviving a crack apocalypse. You try not to get affected or touched, you have to think hard and watch your back 24/7. Even some teachers and adults aren't trustworthy, but TRUST me when I tell you, don't say anything that you know that will get worse, I promise your life will turn into hell.

Wow ! I can't believe I'm the first one to write a review! Well, it has been nearly twenty years…read more(gasp) since I went here, but oh well, may as well drag up some old memories and write about it. When I went here, it was an okay place. There was the library, which I probably set foot in maybe twice in four years. Of course there was the cafeteria, which seemed fuddy duddy, gym room, etc. Del Campo never had its own football stadium so all of our home games were played at San Juan High School. It was kind of a drag, but that's how it goes. Computers were still a new fangled thing, but we had Apple computers in Yearbook. In fact, a lot of my computer skills were the things I learned there. French class was my absolute favorite. Madame Eisner was the best! I took a trip to Europe with her too. My English teachers were fantastic, in particular Mr. Cody. High school years were not "the best years of my life", but college years definitely were. With that in mind, maybe I'm not the most unbiased person to write this review, but isn't that reviews are meant for?

Terrible school. They would not let my best friend go to HER prom because her grades are apparently…read moretoo "low". However they did not address that kids with low gpa's would not be able to attend prom before hand. My best friend suffers from adhd and chronic migraines so it makes it difficult for her to complete school tasks. Because of the school's late notice of the gpa rule she had already bought her dress and now she's unfortunately not able to attend. This school is ableist. L School. Not to mention she's depressed.

The high school is exceptional. The classes are small with faculty who are both incredibly well…read morequalified (many have PhDs or other terminal degrees in their fields) and are incredibly kind and caring. No one is a number here. Faculty and staff know students well and are very invested in students' intellectual and emotional growth. The school has a wonderful theater program and everyone who wishes to participate may. This is also the case for all other extracurricular offerings -- Speech and Debate, Athletics, etc. I don't think enough people are aware this wonderful school is here, and that needs to change. This is the kind of school that changes and enriches your life.

Our children have been at Summit since kindergarten, and now they are thriving in 6th grade. What…read morewe appreciate most is not only the strong academics, but the way the school intentionally shapes their hearts and minds. The teachers foster meaningful discussions and healthy debates about biblical events, encouraging students to think deeply and apply their faith to real life. The spiritual formation at Summit has been a tremendous blessing to our family. Our kids are growing in wisdom, confidence, and a love for God that we see carried into our home life as well. We are so thankful for a school community that partners with us in raising our children with both a solid education and a strong foundation in Christ.

The teaching staff is fantastic, they understand kids all have different needs and they go far above and beyond their typical teaching day. We especially want to give a shout out to the middle school team... what a dynamic trio they are :) Here is a little excerpt of an email we sent them personally: "While it may not seem that you are doing anything above what you normally do in a day I want you to know that for us, as a family, you are going above and beyond. Teaching is not just delivery of content, teaching is compassion, empathy and sometimes its talking nervous moms and dads off of a ledge (speaking for myself especially). You have together made this year another learning year and you have treated **** and our family with empathy, kindness, and love. Thank you for all you do. I wouldn't have **** at any other place and I wish all parents could have the experiences that we have with the three of you." Thank you St Mel for the fantastic learning, experiences, and life lessons!! Thank you Mrs. Nagel for keeping all of what happens at St Mel going strong from year to year... you are a gracefully intelligent leader.

My child was bullied for 2 years AND sensually harassed. Only for staff to tell him "boys will be…read moreboys" and for admin to tell my mixed-husband, that at least the student who called our son the N-Word did so in front of white people only. The district also never did anything meaningful when we addressed this with them. They did an "investigation" and then nothing happened except we got papers claiming they had no proof of our claims. The district family engagement person also claimed to want to help us and then we never heard from her again. Although she did say on our phone call that racism is rampant in the district and specifically with admin. If you value your children's mental health and safety, and there is a feasible way for you to get them into a different district, I would absolutely recommend it. ​

There wasn't much diversity in the school either, at least when I went there. The school as well doesn't handle bullying well.
