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.

Its a good school for growth and learning but sports wise its not the best. Teacher are very kind there and always available to help but just staying focused is whats hard for students.

Alhambra High School is a wonderful school with many opportunities and adventures to better yourself for the future. This school has taught me a lot about the world and myself. I believe that everyone who attends this school has the opportunity to be great and have a bright future. Alhambra has prepared me for college and has treated every student with the best quality. The best experience was taking part of the athletics programs like football. This really helped me build friendships that I will cherish forever. The worst part of my experience was always feeling unsafe because we have an open campus that has had multiple incidents with trespassers. I would love to have the simple change of more security and a safer environment with more school boundaries.

It is a really nice school and the teachers are great too. The school would be even better with more sports being there and more STEM classes.

My son has...
