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.

High school has had its ups and downs but by being at Fresno high I've met amazing friends and teachers that have helped me through the way. Fresno is my hometown with its own perks and my high school has had its fair share of attention good and bad but I wouldn't change going there for a second.

Beautiful Campus!... Mixture of old buildings and New. For the shear volume of students enrolled it runs rather smoothly. Teachers are willing to go the extra mile to help students that are unsteady. As well as clearing the way for students who are ready to excel! Security strives to be on top of ea...
