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.

The best part of my experience would be the teachers and faculty since they are very devoted to their job. Something I don't like is the up keeping of the restrooms, as they are always trashed, dirty, and often lack basic materials such as soap and paper towels. I would like to see more effort into providing resources for students.

I love that when i have a question and if my counselor is not available someone else is able to answer what i need. I feel safe and know if i need any help i will get it.

Attending Chowchilla Union High School was a decent experience for me. I was an AP student who was in band for all four years of high school. The experience for someone with my interests was very good, I'd say. While my high school experience at Chowchilla Union High School wasn't perfect (for example, the cafeteria food was middling at best), it was wonderful compared to some horror stories I've heard.
