Sato Academy of Mathematics and Science, Long Beach | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

This school has a VERY heavy workload. But overall this school has many resources that regular high schools don’t. For example, the ability to start taking college courses with our connected college, CSULB, in 11th grade. Also, as apart of our Engineering Pathway we offer introduction to engineering where students explore the design process and start developing CAD skills (3D modelling) in 9th grade. In 10th grade we offer principals of engineering which is basically a step up from intro to design. In 11th grade we offer aerospace engineering where we explore robot systems. In 12th grade we offer digital electronics where we explore digital circuits. For the Biomedical Pathway we have a course entitled Human Body Systems where freshman to labs to explore how all the body systems work together. A few other courses related to the biomedical pathway is medical interventions where students explore ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. Also Anatomy and Physiology is a student favorite. Many pathway classes are geared by PLTW college courses and many of them do count for college credit starting in the 9th grade.
One of the cons to Sato is that there are no sports so the school can get a little boring due to the lack of fun activities. There is a big variety of clubs at our school and I recommend Key Club, HOSA, Red Cross, RC Flight, and Firebeather Rocketry.
Overall, Sato is an amazing school if you know you want a career in engineering and biomedical science. This school, will get you through college quicker and your studies will be easier. But, if you aren’t prepared to forget what outside looks like because you’re always doing homework, this school isn’t for you. :))

This is a fantastic high school. There is a small student body with a dedicated staff. The outstanding teachers hold these students to high standards. It is an environment of motivation and achievement. We probably would have gone to Wilson, which is great, don’t get me wrong, but it has the population of a small city! For my kid, the setting at Sato is ideal for his concentration, his interests in STEM fields, and like-minded peers.
