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 school is fun, and entertaining however unsafe. The school has frequent fights and lockdowns. Overall the school is a good enough location for education.

for the last three and a half years I have attended Desert Oasis High School, the academics career clusters college readiness and teacher involvement along with student involvement has dramatically increased. more students and teachers are engaging with each other the school safety is at an all-time high. over the last four years the school has improved significantly from counselors and administration being more engaged and student and teacher well being along with checking up on students to making sure everyone is achieving the grades that they want and are mentally okay. the mental health at our school has increased over these last couple of years where more students teachers and administration are noticing and helping students that are not doing well mentally and physically.

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...
