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.

My experience at El Segundo High School has been exceptional. I like all of my teachers and my classes are fair. The student events are always fun and I enjoy spending time with my friends at the football games. El Segundo is a tight community and everybody seems to know each other. You get that same feeling in the hallways of the school. I love staying involved in school activities and spending time with friends.
