With 37 full-time equivalent teachers, this public high school provides remarkably personalized attention that larger schools simply cannot match. The school has earned strong recognition, ranking #529 out of 1,790 California schools and placing in the 70th percentile statewide with an impressive 9.0 out of 10 MySchoolScout rating.

This performance reflects the school's commitment to academic excellence and individualized instruction.

The surrounding community is highly educated, with 71% of residents holding bachelor's degrees or higher, creating an environment that values learning and academic achievement.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 146 students, Tree Academy is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 3.9:1, Tree Academy offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

As a private school, Tree Academy operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
