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.

Our daughter has been attending Mar Vista for two years and we have loved this school since day one. All of the teachers and administrators have been amazing, and my daughter has thrived under their care. I am so excited to send my younger children there when they are old enough to attend.
