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.

My favorite part of Luella High School is the people i've met, life lessons i've learnt and most of all basketball team i put my all into. The girls basketball program has pushed me continuously. I've discovered my determination and state of mind. I was able to surpass the me before an injury. I made friends that I won't just let go like I usually do. This school isn't perfect but it's given me things i will never forget.
