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.

Overall, I had a positive experience attending Carlmont High School. One of the biggest things that bothered me about the school from my personal experience was the bathrooms. I always hated using the bathrooms since people would always smoke in them and trash them. Other than that, I don't really have anything bad to say about it.
