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.

As an art school, much of the school is definead by its achievements in art, dance, and theater. The school lacks the budget to properly fund both the arts it's renowned for and the muu ltitude of sport teams that make up the school roster. While the school environment is overall very relaxed, enjoying many fun spirit weeks, pep rallies, dances, and massive hallway decorations, there has also been times when thebschool couldn't afford new uniforms or ran out of paper with no way to order more.

Overall an okay school. Not as bad as it's described by others. It has gotten better in recent years.

Albert Einstein is overall a good school that could use some minor changes. The major highlight of the school is that it is somewhat diverse on one end. The school is submerged in lots of culture and allows students to meet many different ethnicities and backgrounds. The school staff is, for the most part, as helpful as they can be and supportive of the students.

I attended Einstein for my freshmen year of high school. My only good teachers were the ones I had in higher level classes. However any on-levels that I attended were bare-minimum effort and were physically painful to sit through. Furthermore I found the environment very depressing and dead inside....
