Sequoia is a very good school. They have extensive services special education & English learners. I would like to see more opportunities for the higher achieving students. There is supposed to be a GATE program, but there is absolutely nothing that indicates there is one. There are a handful of students with severe behavior problems who seem to get by with minimal punishment & are allowed to continue to disrupt instruction & intimidate other students. For the most part the students seem happy & engaged in class & in out-of-class activities. Great Schools has the population at 318. That was when the school opened 4 years ago. They have about 550 students now. The original principal left after the first 2 years. The current principal isn't as good. Several excellent teachers have left since the current principal began. Her inexperience shows. Even though I've mentioned areas that need improvement, I rated Sequoia with 4 stars because the positive far outweighs the negative. From the teachers to the office staff & custodian it's obvious that this is a group of people who enjoy their jobs & the difference they make in a child's life will have a positive impact for years to come.

Sequoia is a great school. Teachers and staff members care about the children and are very involved. There appears to be high expectations for all staff and faculty members. There are family events throughout the year and i love the small community feel. Teachers and administrative staff all know the children by names and classes are kept small. I highly recommend!

I love this school. This was my daughters first year at Sequoia and and i wish i would of transferred her there sooner. The staff is very involved in every aspect. They put skits on for the kids they are often there to help. Both my daughters teachers have communicated with me through out the year. I am looking forward to many great school years with Sequoia.
