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.

Bullying must work very well. Yep inve5tigate the mother of the victim. Yea how low have you gone. California shut this junk yard war zone school down and padlocked it and let the bullies be expelled from school and fire the worthless staff for cause.

A racist, sickening place to be. It breaks every piece of my heart to know that they don't empathize on oppressed and instead empathize with the oppressor. I do not recommend going here at all.

My child attended Niguel Hills and enjoyed her years there as a student- Niguel Hills laid the foundation for her success in high school. As a parent, I felt that the administration, leadership, compassion for students' needs, and positive environment were all top notch.

Keep your kids out of this school!!! Admin does nothing to protect the students here from bullying or assaults by other children. School “policies” are not implemented at all, and admin regularly gaslights parents that advocate for their children’s rights and protection. The school is unsafe, toxic,...

The stuff and teachers are amazing. How ever the commute traffic is horrible . My son was just hit by a car last week. I’m sure no body wants to see it happening to their kids.
