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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

The committee is so close together that they are apart of almost everything the school does. The only issue with this school is the amount of people that are trying to get in but can't because of the Low number of kids we let come in for open enrollment.

I highly recommend Melba High School for students like me. It's a great place that allows you to succeed not only in the classroom, but also in athletics. At Melba, we are a tight-knit community that has each other's backs. Here you learn to not only do what you're supposed to, but to also go the extra mile.
