I have a 9th grade student at Shasta High. The course offerings are amazing. From engineering, medical CTEs, to AP offerings, he almost couldn't decide what to take first. He loves all of his classes and teachers, who are all very supportive, knowledgeable and kind. He has joined sports and many clubs and has made friends immediately (I was worried because he didn't come from one of the normal feeder schools). 3 of his courses are also dual enrollment courses so he is earning college credits as a freshmen. I know people talk about Shasta as having a more diverse demographic, but the school admin is strict and extremely on top of things. Sadly, most of those students don't make it past the first semester anyways. My son feels supported, safe and challenged academically. Fabulous school. Also, check out their school state test scores and AP scores- you'll be amazed at how high performing Shasta is! Top performing school in Shasta County, including over U-Prep!

Cypress serves some kids who bring more than their share of challenges to school. That affects its test scores and such. I've found the teachers to be uniformly wonderful, very engaged in building relationships with the children. My own kiddos are doing great there. Some Type-A parents we are friends with think we're misguided in choosing Cypress, but we've been very happy with it.

This place absolutely sucks. Unless you want your child to end up in a mental hospital, & lose their will to live, don't send them here. My child got sexually harassed FIFTEEN TIMES by two male students, & the school didn't do anything about it. Seriously, unless you hate your kids, & want them to become suicidal, get bullied constantly, plus sexually harassed for being themselves, then I have four words for you; DON'T. SEND. YOUR. KIDS. HERE.
