7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAbsolutely horrible school. They have no one communicating with each other. The counselors are MIA and never call amyone back. Same goes for the principals and the front desks. The only one that will ever call back is the attendance person (pfcourse because if the kids dont show up the school doesnt get funded) which is why im honeschooling now. Oroville High is much much better. They should be ashamed of themselves.Parent Review2y ago - Marsh (Harry M.) Junior High School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter has been a student at Marsh the past 3 years - she's getting ready to graduate now. She LOVES Marsh! And I do too. The staff - and especially the principal - have been fantastic. Great communication and super understanding. I did read the other reviews on here from a prior administration......and I won't argue at all concerning that previous administration. I did bring some issues up to that particular leadership crew and never heard anything from them, ever. However, that's not the case for this current Administration(2025-26) - they take a VERY proactive response, and communicate everything with the parents. My daughter loved going there. She wasn't a popular student and wasn't with the "in" crowd - but it didn't matter at all - she felt welcomed by everyone all the time. And she took full advantage of everything the campus had to offer - including sports and after school activities. She had so much fun there, she never wanted to leave. Based upon everything I saw and experienced there - and everything my daughter did there - I can only give Marsh perfect scores across the board. It's an outstanding school, and the campus itself is beautiful and newer compared to the other junior high schools in Chico. Can't be beat, especially here in Butte County.Parent Review4mo ago - Little Chico Creek Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school was a great place for our student to learn, most of the teachers are very good at what they do and the principal is very helpful and does her best. There were a couple of teachers there that probably should not be teaching children, but they do not speak for the school as a whole. Rampant bullying in my child’s year, when picking up my student I saw to students fighting against the fence and no one doing anything about it. (I was in my vehicle and unable to stop). Several students were bullied often and the school tried its best from an administration standpoint but not all of the classes are well managed.Parent Review5y ago
