The most comprehensive source available for comparing information on private independent, proprietary and religiously-affiliated high schools from Santa Rosa to San Jose (and throughout the East Bay), this book is updated and expanded at the request of thousands of parents who have relied on it since it was first published in 1998. The third edition includes information on 60 high schools, 25 pages of advice on how to choose high schools and apply, and 13 pages of charts comparing schools’ statistics. This book does what school web sites don’t do—it provides extensive information about schools—all in the same format—so accurate comparisons can be made.
