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 have two sons who had a wonderful experience at Diegueño and a daughter who will be going there next year. My boys had excellent teachers. They both played on school teams (run by Boys and Girls Club). They are doing well in high school thanks to the great preparation. I love that the administration focuses on excellence in the classroom AND on creating fun activities outside of the classroom.
