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.

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 time at Alta Loma High School gave me a strong foundation and supportive teachers who pushed me to do my best. I enjoyed the sense of community and school spirit. The most challenging part was limited access to mental health and academic resources. I'd like to see more programs that support students' well-being and future goals.

Admittedly, this school isn't perfect, but the positives outshine the negatives. The AP and honors curriculum especially has some wonderful teachers. Although, I wish the paint job wasn't so institutionally white.

Despite not being involved in huge things such as sports and ASB, I think I've found my place at school with my friends I've made along the way. I found what I wanted to do with my life here and found that I truly do enjoy specific classes I've taken in the past and am currently taking. Many many people are here to help us.

Teachers at ALHS are great, they are many opportunities for the diversity of students to get ahead. Reality is......students some times have other interests that take away their attention. I love the fact that if grades are not good, there is no sport involvement. This encouraged my son to stay focu...
