Niche grades and rankings are calculated using dozens of public data sets and millions of reviews.

Every month, millions of students and families use the Niche grades and report cards to find the right school or neighborhood.
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.

Acalanes is lowkey rich, and it's super well funded, but to be honest the community can be pretty exclusionary, especially if you haven't lived here your whole life.

Wanna have your kid profiled, singled out and abused by staff? Acalanes is for you. Kids who are "different" get pulled out of class and put in "special class" where they're singled out as a potential threat. If you're even slightly different, they will single you out, profile you, and treat you like a pariah.

I liked the campus and there were good resources. I had a mix of good and bad teachers, but the good ones were few and far between. There is a lack of diversity; most students are white. The school is very grade-oriented, and few students were passionate about the learning aspect as opposed to passing the class.
My daughter has been a student for two years. Based on almost any metric, it is one of the best high schools in the state, period. Top graduates from this school are attending the finest universities in the Country. It was recently recognized as a “California Distinguished School”. The fact that “Gr...

We just moved here so this is based only on our son’s first year, but he really loves this school. He’s gone from tolerating school and doing just what he needs to get by to enjoying it and challenging himself. He is excited about the subjects he’s learning and says at least once a week that his tea...
School is extremely over-rated. It’s mainly all white rich kids that drive to school in brand new cars and wear $$$ clothes. If you’re not white you’re going to struggle to fit in. Teachers aren’t exceptional. The school itself is falling apart.
