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.

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.

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.

I really liked my experience at Alta Loma High School. A lot of friends i've grown up with go here and i've met so many cool people. There's so many new things you can try at my school and no day is like the last.

I have been coming to Alta loma since I was a freshman. This is by far the best school there is, in my biast opinion of course, Over the 3 years I have been here I have had my fare share of ups and downs but I know that anytime I needed help it was offered to me. If I needed someone to talk to there are so many resources for me. Or if I need help in my classes I can go to the library almost everyday where they have tutoring. This school wants you to do your best and become the best you can be.

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...
