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.

Golden high school has been really good at preparing their students for college, and focusing on good academics as well as students maintaining a balanced life outside of school with sports and extracurriculars. I enjoyed spending time with friends and hanging out in the library during off blocks, as well as the freedom that various teachers give their students.

I thought over all the school was very good. Teachers were very nice and the overall learning experience was good. The whole community was great. Although i wish there was more taught on what's necessary for applying to college.

Golden High School provides a good community for all students. Teachers and staff are supportive of students and do more than just teach. The extracurricular experience is fairly good with all major sports being offered. However, there are very few clubs offered to students.

Academics overall seem pretty solid comparatively at the state level. Probably...
