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.

I have gone to Calexico High School my 4 years of high school. I have experienced both positive and negative experiences as any regular high school student would. There are a lot of facilities for different resources on campus, for example, academic counseling, career readiness counseling , mental health room, in school psychologist, etc. There is also wide variety of classes to enroll into including CTE's. In the 2021-2022 school year, the school even began to build new buildings for specific subjects (science, math, english, etc.) There are plenty of sweet and caring staff on campus, though there are some that may come off differently. I have personally had a few issues with some staff and teachers, but I don't believe that affects the quality of the school or education given there. As there is construction going on currently, the center of the school is barricaded, meaning we have to go around it to get across campus. There are so many different clubs to join or even start up

Many areas lacked adequate resources and upkeep, however the teachers and community students build was overall positive and often very encouraging.

Most of the people are very rude, definitely not a friendly nor welcoming environment, overly strict, and do not maintain good standards for the schools education or health organization.
