“Evaluating local schools can be complex, as rating systems consider a variety of factors.

As platforms like Niche release annual school rankings, the Sacramento Business Journal is delving deeper into the region’s private high schools. To provide a broader view, we looked at data on major aspects such as enrollment, diversity and college admissions.

Niche, a Pittsburgh-based website, assigns letter grades to schools based on factors such as academics, diversity, teaching quality, college preparation, extracurricular activities and sports.
