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.

The best part of my experiences at Desert Oasis Highschool was through sports. I got involved in sports my freshman year of highschool, and i'd say it's definitely had a positive impact on my grades and who I am as a person. My worst experience was definitely the safety of the school. Fights break out everyday, hard lockdowns have gone into action when I was in the building.

Some teachers would not care about students going on their phones and all some do is open the videos and get to work. What kind of education are you teaching us? I heard from a friend that teachers are quitting because they just feel like it and they are lazy. They are capable of writing referrals f...
