GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My high school experience was fun and positive. I learned things I would have learned anywhere else and had teachers and staff that were there a long the way. As for involvement, it was a blank space for me since I was new to the people around me. I would like to see change in this when I am a part of a college I feel like I am meant to be there and encourage to participate with new friends.

The reason I give this school 4 stars is because of the teachers and other staff. Being in a small community the staff have an undeniable effect on students and I feel as though they have had a good one on me, at least within recent years. They want us to succeed and it is evident in how they teach and interact with us. Something I would like to see change is the board, they are completely awful and make it evident they do not care about the students opinions or well-being.

Vasquez is a small school where everybody knows everyone. While many people would complain about this factor, it allows students to be more comfortable and close at school. The long term teachers are well liked and teach the required subject matter well. I personally have enjoyed my experience at Vasquez though there have been many changes in the course of my schooling.
