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.

My overall experience at Elk Grove High School has been overall a positive experience. Elk grove offers a variety of different sports, clubs, and activities to all students. Being able to participate in it's many activities has allowed me to meet lots of amazing people from all different backgrounds, and feel connected with other students in EGHS. EGHS also provides its student with many different elective options and a variety of world languages.One of which, allowed me to study Japanese and go to japan for 2 weeks during my junior year. The teacher at EGHS always try to push students to be the best they can be. I don't think I'd be the person and student I was today if I didn't have them to push me. My biggest criticism about EGHS is the food. The food at EGHs isn't terrible but the food isn't always the most healthy and the prices are a bit high compared to the quality of food you can get at times. One thing I would like to see changed is honor courses being brought back.

The best part of Elk Grove High School is the countless opportunities available to the students, and how often they're advertised. The worst part is how divided everyone is. Something I would like to see change is the way certain students of color are treated and how many cases of racism and discrimination are seen among students.

As a current student at EGHS, I can confidently say that EGHS isn’t a terrible school, but it isn’t an amazing school either. The one big problem with EGHS is the TERRIBLE earned honors program. The way the earned honors program at EGHS works is that in certain classes (specifically English for fres...
