Relocating to Sac. and looking for a racially diverse school for my 1st grader (Sacramento: job)

[tihughes]

Hi - I am relocating to the Natomas area in Sacramento, as my job is moving. My son now attends a private school in the Oakland HIlls that he has done exceptionally well in. My greatest fear is not finding a school that is somewhat comperable to his current school. I am looking to place him a school with a good reputation (private or public) and is racially diverse. His school embraces his ethnicity (AA) as well as the other ethnic races in the school. If anyone has any suggestions please advise. Thx.

There is a great charter school here. Not sure which part of Natomas. I would personal stick with North Natomas, much safer and less crime.

Its called Natomas Charter School and they go from K-12. They are heavy on the arts and just building a new theater. You can find their website by googling their name.

I think you will find that there really isn't that much of a focus on being "diverse" it just is, if that makes sense.

Guingirl - Thank you for your feedback. I will put that one on my list of schools to check out.

You are in luck. Natomas Unified School District is a good district. The district is expanding pretty rapidly, so I don't know about all of them. The district is also diversified with a large percentage of Hispanic, black, Asian, as well as white students. I've worked quite a bit with this district (consultant) and found all of the schools to be well kept, teachers well qualified, and the administration dedicated to teaching to the education content standards.

You can check out information about any public school or district on the California Dept. of Education Web site at:http://dq.cde.ca.gov/dataquest/ and http://www.ed-data.k12.ca.us/welcome.asp. The charter school is a good one too, but I think any school in this district will be fine.
