Summary

The MET is a small public high school serving 190 students in grades 9-12, located at 810 V St. in the Sacramento City Unified school district.

The school presents a mixed academic picture, with a significant strength in English matching the state average but a serious, ongoing challenge in math where proficiency is far below average. Despite this, The MET excels at ensuring students graduate, with rates consistently above the district and state averages, and it maintains exceptionally low chronic absenteeism—the best among most nearby schools like Arthur A. Benjamin Health Professions High and C. K. McClatchy High. A standout success is its program for Special Education students, which ranks among the top in the state.

Compared to schools in other districts, such as the highly-ranked Washington Middle College High in Washington Unified, The MET's overall academic performance is more average. Its year-to-year scores can be volatile, and its high per-student spending hasn't yet translated to top-tier academic results, particularly in math and science. However, its small size likely fosters the supportive environment that leads to strong graduation and attendance, even as it works to address core academic weaknesses.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, April 20, 2010

Our daughter was drawn to this school because of the flexible atmosphere and the sense of personal freedom and responsibility. She felt it would be a good fit for her.

As parents, we agreed that there was some appeal to the methods applied at The Met but we were somewhat insecure about the non-traditional approach. We had concerns that if this unfamiliar approach was ineffective that we would have risked our daughters' ability to be accepted to the college of her choosing. In the beginning it felt like a gamble we weren't certain we were willing to take and we didn't know how long we could allow this test.

We agreed to allow her to attend The Met because we felt that Allen was personally interested in and connected to each student. He appeared to be the sort of person we could effectively communicate with and work with to achieve our desired results.

We were right and we are all delighted that we took this path. Our daughter has an internship that she loves and is learning and gaining experience beyond what we imagined. Her advisor, Vince Wolfe is the perfect combination of educator, leader, friend and mentor. Allen Young proved to be everything we expected and more. He is approachable, involved, responsive and effective. He has supported our daughter and every student, as though she were his only student. The personal attention one would hope for but seldom receives. We love The Met. Our daughter is a sophmore and is already scoring very high on her PSAT and other standardized tests. She is excelling in every academic area. She is enthusiastic about school and thoroughly enjoys her studies and the community at school.

For our family, The Met is the best possible choice. Close Quote
