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.

My years here in Mira Monte have definitely been eventful, our school isn't the most diverse but believe it or not that's one of the things that makes it special. Mira Monte isn't the wealthiest school but we do not dwell on the things we don't have instead we are grateful for the things we do which creates a sense of communal perseverance. I appreciate everything this school does and I am forever thankful for the all the life lessons and skills this school has taught me.
