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.

I enjoy it as someone who is beginning to get into college after having taken two years off after graduating from high school. I think it is a great experience for those who are thinking about continuing their education at a slow-moderate pace if they would like.

I started off at this school thinking it would be a similar experience as the one back in high school given on how rather small it was. Actually, as I spent more time on campus, I learn about the great community that resides there. The staff and professors are equally helpful, plus the students are extremely polite. This school enticed me to further my education at another university.

Hello Everyone, I went to SJHS from 2005-2009. I love going to that school as I participated in multiple sports and various extra curricular activities. This school has one of the best would shop programs in California, and has great sports and academic opportunities.

The staff was very supportive and believed i the kids. They wanted them to succeed and were always open to help. If your child needs a smaller setting or has a learning disability and or behind in credits; this is the place for redemption.
