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.

Eastlake has been great. The teachers are super cool and the counselors really help you. There have been some occasions when there was a teacher that does not care about the student, but overall the campus is really nice. It is great to come out and watch the sports programs, and everyone is cool.

I would say the best part is the school culture or the school spirit. Most sports are extremely competitive so some people don't even try to enter. College readiness is definitely prioritized and there is a network of support, yet you may find that it is hard to contact counselors at times.

I really do love the teachers that put a big commitment into the school and actually do there job. The worst part of my experience was my experience in their colorguard. I would like to see more diversity and inclusivity .

School is racist toward Native Hawaiian minority populations. School admin will hold students against their will, keep their phone so they’re unable to call their family, and refuse to let them walk in graduation just for wearing leis. Students across the country wear leis to walk at graduation. Thi...

Abhorrent breach of personal agency and freedom of expression. No respect for students or other cultures. Admin is more concerned with keeping flowers away from a graduation ceremony than doing their jobs.
