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.

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.

Los Alamos high school was a relatively small school in a very small community so there was never a lot of clubs or activities available to students but the ones that were were always extremely good and productive and worth your time. The teachers cares a lot about their students and put a lot of effort into the classes.

I am in the class of 2025. After going to this school for 4 years, I will proudly say that Los Alamos High School's biggest strength is in Math and Science. If you are good at Math and Science, you can have a set class time to intern at Los Alamos National Lab. It's a really good school for Math, science, and sports.

Right now I'm a student at Los Alamos High School, and it's challenged me a lot. Success here completely depends on your motivation although I have to agree that there is less focus on non-overachieving students. For high-achieving students this is a challenging school that prepares you well. For le...
