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.

Thelma R. Salinas High School is a comfort place for many and me. In this school, we have a community that will support you. The teachers are involved with the students and ensure they understand the curriculum. The counselor, though its hard to find her, will try to help with issues of any kind.

The thing I like about this school is that it is small so they focus on everyone and have every one right with their classes. Another thing about this school is that it helps prepare you for your future because they provide dual enrollment classes that give you college hours and if things go right you can graduate with an associates.
