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.

At Paloma Valley High School there is a variety of good and bad mixed together. To start with the good, the teachers are extremely kind and so are the security guards. The science teachers specifically are the best. The bad would be the food, other staff, and the upkeep of the school.

However admin and teachers may leave a lot to be desired.
