Niche grades and rankings are calculated using dozens of public data sets and millions of reviews.

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.

California Area High School is a very small school, which allows for much needed teacher-student one on one time. California is an extremely safe school with police officers on campus at all times. It is a wonderful school that offers great education.

As a Senior at California Area High School, I see both the positives and negatives of the district. There is a great sense of unity and a "family" at California. We stick together as a school body. The teachers and students work together to make a positive working environment.
Grew up in small town California PA and the teachers and staff were fantastic! Graduated in 2004 and was more than ready to earn MBA at the University of South Carolina. Now a VP of 30 locations in SC & FL and still love keeping up with the Trojans!
