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.

I went to Muirlands from 2015-2018 and I hated it there. Here are a few things I've noticed from my time there: 1) The teachers are a bit of a mixed bag-- there are few really good ones and a few really bad ones, but most are somewhere in the middle. All of the history teachers that I know of are excellent, though. 2) The school culture is awful. There is a lot of bullying and the staff doesn't do much about it, even when it's reported. This is the main reason why my time at Muirlands was so awful. If your kid is athletic or qualifies for Seminar, they'll be fine. If your kid is autistic or has any behavioral/emotional difficulties, do NOT send them here. They will be bullied. 3) There is a pretty good visual arts program. The two art electives-- art and LJ Radio-- are both good, so if your kid is on the artistic side, they may have that to look forward to. My advice: only send your kid here if they don't have social difficulties because if they do, they will be miserable.

* HUGE class size, up to 36 per class. * Most teachers are hit or miss in quality.* Counselors are truly terrible, do not want to do ANY work beyond what is required based on collective bargaining. They are what makes public schools so terrible.If you can afford it or can move, send your kids to pri...

Excellent school. The teachers are great and very experienced. They really care about the students. We met the principal and she is very friendly, caring. Moving from north part of CA, we love it so far and our kid has been doing very well.
