We are thinking of relocating to the Modesto area. We have one child that will be a sophomore in HS. any suggestions for HS or ones to stay away from. We don't have to live in Modesto, but don't want more than a 20-30 min. drive into Modesto.

I don't know enough to tell you which high schools to stay away from. But 4 high schools in the area were recently ranked by Newsweek as among the best in the country.

Quote:
Four Stanislaus County campuses made it onto U.S. News & World Report's 2009 list of "America's Best High Schools," which highlights public high schools that serve all students well and focus on those coming from minority and low-income families.

Central Valley High and Ceres High, both in Ceres, Modesto High and Waterford High schools are listed in the magazine's ranking, along with 205 other California high schools.

there are some good areas in modesto but from friends, the area where modesto high is a bad area to live in. modesto high school is considered to be a good high school but in a bad area. i went to ceres high (which in nearby ceres) and met people from modesto and according to them, the high schools which were in highest regard were Johansen High School and Beyer High School. the other schools i don't know much about but i know a new high school has been built Enochs High School.
