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.

Dominguez High School is alright. I really like Think Together, an after-school program, and I attend their clubs after-school. Something that can be really bad is the teachers and students. It can kinda depend on luck if you get good teachers and good classmates. What matters more is your class and classmates because with the same teacher, they can be nice with one class but more strict and 'mean' with another so that really depends on the students in that class.

I have had an amazing time in Dominguez as a student. I really wish that there were more people encouraging the students to stay on top of their work. most of the staff there don't actually know how to connect and teach others to become a better student. The counselors need to be able to agree with the student when the ask to change a class. Whenever a student is feeling like they are failing try you best to uplift them instead of downgrading and blaming it their bad habits. But other than that, it is so easy to make friends and Dominguez and so many activities for the kids there to help them become a new person or have new hobbies.
