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.

At San Pasqual I have made many friends whom I believe will be my friends for life. This school provides a safe environment for the students to connect and learn. The staff is respectful towards the students and I believe that everybody can find people to connect with on campus. Overall if I had to rate the school on a scale if 1-20 I would rate them a 17/20 because they take care of me and other students on and off campus but not all students are taken care of the way they need to be taken care of.

I would say my experience here has been good. While I have not put my full effort into my education, it was provided in a well manner to me. I would recommend this high school over some others in the same area.

Overall it was a generally good school because of the amount of unique opportunities and resources they had to offer. In terms of classes, they offer both rigorous such as APs and standard subjects as well. The staff within counseling are very encouraging to their students and the career center gave me many resources to make college applications easier. If anything, I never really had a bad experience unless I was around other specific students.

A strong effort is made by teachers and staff to make learning meaningful, engaging, enriching, and hold students to a high standard.
