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 as well was a former student of this GREAT school, this school made a difference in my life , it made me turn my whole life around . I discovered that I actually LOVED math, reading, business. Now , I have gone to college and got my B.A. I wish there were more teachers like the ones @ Palomar hire...
