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.

this is a very good school, with many teachers that love there jobs and many clubs and sports to participate in. Though there are some teachers that seem to enjoy making students lives harder, over all the last 4 years have been enjoyable and educational.

Eldorado was great school and prepared me for college and the real world. I was able to participate in clubs, sports and enhance my knowledge. Valerie Valhegan was the best counselor through the pandemic and assisted me in applying for different schools. I was not able to be in person for my junior year, but she helped me push through online courses.

I've attended Eldorado high school all 4 years and it's just been amazing. I grew up in foster care moving to a different school every year and it was hard always moving so I'm glad that the one school I stayed at was Eldorado. The people and teachers have just been very helpful with getting my education back on track.

If your child is an athlete, do them and yourself a favor and send them elsewhere. The parent politics an...
