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.

They ride bikes around playing chicken with cars, fighting and throw trash everywhere for hours. My husband is a principal and I know that you are responsible for your students until they get home, so when I call to have you send someone down to get them out of here and you do nothing and shrug me off, I can only guess that you don't care about your students safety or your community. If and when one of these kids gets killed by a car in this parking lot...you will be responsible! Take care of it!

I graduated from this high school in 2012…read more It was a great school! The campus was nice. Sometime in sophomore year, they built a new gym which was dedicated to one of the coaches. They also built a new library sometime in my junior year. Both places were pretty nice. I loved all of my teachers (I was in Special Ed, but I took some General Ed classes)! The staff there were also very friendly as well. The reason I chose this school was because my old friends wanted to go there, but I made new friends there too. My absolute favorite teachers were Mrs. Lorge, Mr. Kaul, and Ms. Uno. Sadly, the latter two retired after I graduated, but they were very awesome! I enjoyed spending my four years at this school.

I used to go here from 2012 to 2023. I had a lot of fun memories here, although the curriculum Is a…read morebit intense, I usually had 3 or more hours of homework, The benefit of that is that now every other school is easy, but the workload definitely caused a lot of tears, and mental health problems, so If your kids are getting C's or below don't get mad at them cause their probably trying really really hard. I loved all my teachers, shout out to Mr. Hicks. The moms are terrible at driving, so watch out in the parking lot. Also, this school kinda has a gossip problem; the moms even gossip about the kids, and the kids also gossip a lot. The Bayside blaster will always be amazing. I still crave it. The main church's theology was kinda interesting, a little evangelical. Also, the school makes you pledge to the bible, the Christian flag, and the American flag, which felt like it bordered on Christian nationalism since you do them all in order, but do with that as you will. The visual arts are kinda lackluster, and sports are very favored at that school. To be fair, a lot can change in nearly 3 years; this is just my experience. I was also a bit of a menace at this school. The Bathroom parties were exquisite.

The school is run by a clique of high school mean girls who decided to become teachers. They've…read moreestablish a social hierarchy of students who are accepted into their clique and students who are excluded. They use exclusion and isolation as means of perpetual punishment, so that those outside of their clique are always in trouble, and desperate for their approval. They've established a Kafkaesque system where some students are always guilty of one infraction or another. The infraction is never clear, guilt is assumed, and the means of clearing oneself is impossible to discern. The proceedings against them continue night and day. If your family holds progressive values, especially if they are young girls, or if you or your children identify as LGBTQ, then the woke, young, predominantly female teachers will immediately accept your children into their social clique. From that moment forward, all of your child's actions will be acceptable, and the teachers will always take their side. If your family holds traditional values, if your child is a typical boy with energy who enjoys playing sports, or if you believe you may bristle against the abuse of authority of a high school mean girl clique drunk on power, then this school is not for you. We've hated it here for years. We've been trying to leave California, and we didn't want to change schools before leaving state, and then change again after leaving. We wanted our children to have the stability of being at the same school and having the same friends. We're finally leaving California, so we can be done with this school. My wife wanted our children to have the best education possible, and was excited when our children got into this school. Our nephews also attend. When the obvious pattern of control, manipulation, and social exclusion by the staff became clear, my wife denied it for years. She explained to me in the middle of the night how she felt, and it echoed what I've been saying all along. Our most recent experience finally convinced her. My 14 year old was so excited to go on an overnight field trip with his classmates one last time before we move. Last year, he was excluded from all field trips for the second half of the school year as a punishment for calling someone "gay." We assumed his punishment would end with the end of the school year. The field trip was scheduled for Tuesday. Apparently, the teachers communicated to him that he may be disinvited from all field trips this year, too, but they never told that to my wife and me. At school, he spent the entire day on Monday asking his teachers whether he's allowed to go. They told him over and over again that they hadn't decided yet and needed to have a meeting. On Monday night, after school, they sent my wife an email saying that he was disinvited from the field trip. We had no idea this was even being discussed, or what the justification was. The only reason they gave was, "insubordination." The Maoist Red Guard is heartless. The Cultural Revolution consumes all! He had his heart set on spending one last night with his friends before moving. Now the mean girls have the pleasure of taking something from him once again, and can indulge in the delicious fruit of self-righteous gloating over the teenage boy they've assigned to the lower social class. The school is run by cruel and heartless young women whose minds are held captive by the woke virus, who torment children for their socially unacceptable views. Do not trust them with your children.

I want to be clear that this review is only for the summer camp, as my daughter attended two…read moreseparate weeks at Sacramento Waldorf School throughout the summer. Her first week was absolutely packed with fun activities. They did tie-dye, a color run, and even took a hike to the park. She absolutely loved it, and it felt like there was always something going on. The second week was a little different. There didn't seem to be as many planned activities, and she mentioned having quite a bit more downtime. It wasn't necessarily bad, but after such a fun and activity-filled first week, I think we were both expecting a little more. The campus itself is really nice, and one thing I appreciated was that there weren't a ton of kids in her camp group. I want to say there were around eight kids, which made it feel smaller and more personal. They also had a really fun potluck, and I've heard they sometimes take bike rides to a local coffee shop, which sounds like such a fun little adventure for the kids. Overall, my daughter enjoyed her time there, especially that first week. I just wish the activities had been a little more consistent from week to week. If both weeks had been like the first one, this easily would have been a 5-star experience. Helpful tip: If you're signing your child up for multiple weeks, just know that the activities may vary quite a bit depending on the week.
