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.

Gained college experience and was well prepared but socially school can improve. There can be changes in the social aspects such as activities offered outside of school and sports.

I am a substitute teacher with Long Beach Unified and I have to say that CAMS is the best school I have had the pleasure of working at.
