Sonora High School
I partially agree with the above comment from Current Student. However, I have to disagree with the whole attendance & guideline comment. I believe you must be an active & participating role as a parent, in your childs education. As a parent of a Senior & Sophomore, I have yet to experience a problem/issue that I disagreed with.

Sonora High School
I am a student at this high school, I am 18 have and A and B report card. I do bot recommend allowing your children to attend this school. It is a nice environment, not much violence or "clique" problems. But the administration is not helpful to students, they do not inform the students completely of attendance rules, and do not follow guidelines with attendance either. They only excuse abcenses when they feel like it, disregarding notes and phone calls. They do not notify students when they have unexcused abscences.
