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.

Aliso Viejo Middle School was a decent middleschool. The academics were those to expect from a middle school, but it's faults lied in the proctoring as well as discipline. I was an 8th grader in 2018 and we had multiple fights, the fire alarm being pulled and threats. It was never ending.

I attended this middle school all throughout 6th grade to 8th grade. It was honestly one of the worst experiences ever. Socially, everyone talks bad about everyone, trust is nonexistent as soon as you step on campus. I’ve heard best friends talk behind each other’s backs nearly every day. I was luck...
