School Overview

Nicolas Junior High sits in a quieter, more residential stretch of west Fullerton, serving the transition years between elementary and high school for a diverse mix of families in the area. Academic performance hovers around the state average, making it a solid middle-ground option for families who are more focused on finding a supportive community feel than a hyper-competitive environment. Fullerton itself has a lot going for it — tree-lined streets, a lively downtown, and a genuine small-city character that makes it one of the more livable corners of Orange County.
