Sutter Middle School is fantastic. The great leadership starts with the Principal - Mr. Chad Sweitzer. The teachers are highly motivated and, in turn, the students are motivated. The main contact for parents is the wonderful office staff who make time to help even when incredibly busy. The school is

The extra activities include band/orchestra, debate team, and drama just to name a few. Plus, the sports program is consistently one of the best of all middle schools in the Sacramento area because of great coaching and the talented athletes. Also, students can receive help with all their subjects as every teacher provides tutoring. Read less

This school is one of the best schools I ever have been at. I just graduated from there a few months ago and I am already missing it. Some classes were challenging, but I learned a lot more than I ever thought I could. The electives were extremely fun and I was glad there was a music program. I was able

Students are tested to see what math they are in so that no student is over- or under-challenged. The science classes were fun and exciting and very updated on new science discoveries. I highly encourage middle school students to go to Sutter. Read less

We came to Sutter last year because of the acedemic reputation and raves from other parents who had children already enrolled. I must say that I was disappointed by the vocal encouragement for parent involvment that never really extended into an open hand when I put it to the test. Not that anyone

In fact, most of my daughters teachers were wonderful, but they are busy and they have hundreds of students. If you don't go point out your child, show your interest, chat with the teachers; don't expect them to come to you. My daughters review is positive. She loves the school. That in itself says a lot for middle school period. Read less

We moved my gifted student from a private school for 7th-8th grade in preparation for high school. Although we have no regrets, it has been a mixed experience. Sutter has a very good academic reputation primarily drawn from the high number of GATE eligible students enrolled. Parent need to recognize
... Read more that the gifts of the few exceptional teachers do not necessarily translate into exceptional education for all students at all levels. Extracurricular activities are actually few and mostly limited to competitive sports. Parent involvement is limited to fund raising. Safety is highly valued but that philosophy does not extend to after-school outside of formal sport or club program hours. Sutter has a huge enrollment and the students are just one of many. Make sure that's the right environment for your child before choosing this school. Read less
