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.

I am a transfer from Aragon Highschool and Its been a very succesful and smooth transfer with many other oppurtunities. Although not as lively as some other schools it definitely is a fun and engaging school with supported facilities especially in music and writing

I was because I was native American and gay. It felt very unsafe because there was always people looking down on me because I was different, low-key, all the Asians are racist and I have seen and overheard using racial slurs all the time. Diversity is no where to be seen, and teachers do nothing to help. Too many asians and they stick together like peas and a pod and are racist.
