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.

5.0 Junior
9/28/2024
The best parts include supportive teachers, engaging extracurricular activities, and a sense of community among students. The worst parts involve challenges such as limited resources, overcrowded classrooms, or issues with bullying. I want to see changes like improved facilities, more diverse course offerings, or enhanced mental health support.

The best part of Being a part of Avenal High were the rallies and fun activities we would do. The worst part was being in a small school so less opportunities and classes to take. I still enjoyed every moment of high school because the teachers, students, and staff made it enjoyable.

Avenal High has been good. I love the fact that it isn't a big school. Like other schools, there's ups and downs.

I met many nice people and caring teachers, but I knew 2 kids who were bullied till they left and a bunch of kids who couldn't really read or write but graduated. They never would have passed a test like they used to have.
