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.

This school doesn't care about its students, there is heavy politics involved, they let a girl who threatened a gay student have a private ceremony for graduation even though every student was against it, just because she is the friend of the daughter of the teachers at this school. The students that are friends with this daughter get away with so much that every other student wouldn't be able to get away with.

Having been in Ceres High for quite some time I can say that it has been a great experience. Students, teachers and staff are all super nice and sweet. Especially with studying there I haven't had a difficult time learning there and i have even improved my grades, mental health, and overall everything.

My overall experience with Ceres High School has been amazing these last four years. The teachers here are wonderful and so are the staff members at Ceres High. They are very helpful to me and are always there for me when I need it as well as helping me with my schoolwork or anything else.
