Junior and senior high school selection was REALLY tough for us. Always supported public school but didn't want my kids to have the chance to get lost and fail at Colton HS. I looked at public and private schools in Riverside and San Bernardino counties cuz I would have driven them whereever I needed to but finally chose ACA in Redlands. Nice balance of academic, sports, arts and social life with very hands on supervision. It's hard to fall through the cracks at Arrowhead. Teachers KNOW and keep an eye on the kids. Good religious values without forcing a specific version (although definitely Christian) on the students. We aren't Protestant and still did ok, and my kids got a great education. Expensive but you get what you pay for and they got offered merit/academic scholarships when they graduated (even not being the valedictorian) and are doing very well!
