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 experience at UCLA community school has been very good so far, with good academics, resources, teachers and other school staff. I enjoy my spanish classes they are very fun despite the teacher being strict she makes the class very fun and very life changing. However what I wish my school had was an AP class for the history department. But overall I enjoy being in my school

My experience at this school has been a pretty good one. I came to this school in 5th grade from a private school. The transition from my old school to this one was great, I felt quickly accepted and felt like I belonged. I have not had any bad experiences with the school itself. One thing I would like to see change is the quality of food. Students need better food and options that are better for everyone.

I have been at this school since I was in the 3rd grade to my graduation. I have watched this school develop along the years. I would say that this school is very community driven. A lot of the support that students receive here are from the people around you: parents, teachers, and administrators. The staff here truly care about your education and make sure that all students are being supported.

My school is the best you be at. Teachers, that care the most about you, even though they make you do hard work, you learn to explain it in many different ways. We don't only teach subjects for school, but also things you need for life. We have Gearup, and its a program for 7th and 8th grader. I fee...
