Placer High School

I was a student at this school, and I reported that I was being bullied and threatened to be beaten up by two other students to the front desk who dismissed me and only said, "Come back on Monday."Long story short, I was jumped on my way back home after the bus dropped me off and luckily two boys helped me get home.I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HORRIBLE SCHOOL!! My mother had me homeschooled iimmediately after this incident. Overworked teachers or not, you must ALWAYS help a student, especially if that child is being threatened to be beaten up by other students. My bullies were never held accountable and were dismissed too.It is a shame and gave me serious trust issues with every single public school or education out in the world.

In my experience, Skyridge School is not a safe or supportive environment. Safety concerns are often ignored, and many teachers do not properly teach or engage students, leaving them confused and unsupported.Despite claiming to be a “harassment-free environment,” harassment and bullying are not handled effectively, making students feel uncomfortable and unheard. Fights are not well attended to, and they have ZERO punishment system. Please think before enrolling.

While this school, as with many, has things to work on, it also has many amazing things going for it. I have to disagree with some of the other comments posted about this school, especially the negative ones about the cotaught class. Studies have actually shown that this type of teaching is actually beneficial of all ages. The 3/4 cotaught class was one of the best experiences at Northside. They did far more field trips and special projects than any other grade level. My child got to hatch chicken eggs, write her own book, do ceramics, participate in the garden program, learn Spanish, go on 6 feild trips (includingan overnightone!), learn weekly social skills lessons... I could go on and on! Luckily for the nay-sayers, this program is no longer in existence at Northside as one of the amazing teachers moved to the junior high. I am so excited that my child will get to experience her again! There is currently a cotaught tk/k class and those teachers are amazing too! All of the teachers put their heart and soul into what they do at this school! Please ask multiple parents about this school before judging it off of this website- where keyboard warriors like to get on soap boxes. Some people are ridiculous!

Many of the teachers are excellent, but the administration’s priorities are concerning. The principal that is the superintendent focus on test scores and fundraising rather than student well-being. Parents who raise concerns often feel ignored or dismissed, unless they have financial influence. Families seeking a school that truly supports children’s learning may find this environment frustrating.I highly suggest seeking elsewhere.

This is a great community. Both of my children have always attended this school and are very happy.
