School Overview

Tucked into the heart of South Lake Tahoe, Bijou Community School sits in one of California's most stunning mountain towns, where the outdoors is practically part of the curriculum just by virtue of where you live. The school lands solidly in the middle of the pack statewide, with notably stronger scores in English and Science than in Math, making it a decent fit for families who value well-rounded learning in a tight-knit community setting. South Lake Tahoe has a laid-back, year-round resort feel — skiing in winter, hiking and kayaking in summer — and Bijou reflects that close community vibe where teachers and families tend to know each other well.
