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.

Monterey High School has helped prepare me for my future by giving me access to teachers who care, and a curriculum that sets me up for success. Every step of the way I have had someone who is willing to take time out of my day to help me achieve what they know I am capable of, and that is something you won't find everywhere. Although no school is perfect, Monterey is the best school I could ask for as I advance through my education.

My daughter (sophmore) loves her school and would be crushed if we took her somewhere else. My son will be a freshman next year and is looking forward to his high sch...
