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.

Going to California High School for all my high school life, it is pretty good school. Most of the teachers are understanding and are helpful with not only their subject but others as well. The evivorement is friendly and relaxed. The school has a lot more clubs as I get older so there is more opportunities to meet other people form different grades. The faculty is great with some things and bad with others but that is any school. It is good about preventing bully or bad things from happening.

California High School has a variety of clubs and organizations. Most people can feel involved. A majority of the teachers are great, but a few are not. Many dual credit classes are offered to upper-level students to help them get a headstart to their college education.
