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.

My experience with Trabuco Hills High School is something. My first year at Trabuco was pretty fun! The classes weren't that bad but I wish they made the school more safer and had more safety towards mental health.

I would like to see a bit more cultural diversity between the students. I also wish for the students to be able to talk more with teachers and counselors. I also would want to wish for the food preferences to change as well. The food is not bad it just needs a little shaping. It also just needs to taste good which when it isn't the chicken dishes besides the sandwiches with the fries and wedges and hotdog with chips tastes good. The teachers are also really nice especially the history teachers. I also think if you get a good teacher that will actually teach you the material required then it's good as it'll make you more prepared for the rest of your high school career. i also think the most of the students are nice depending on who you keeps close and surround yourselves with as that'll make a huge difference in whether you're getting a good influence or bad influence.
I have a Freshman daughter and Junior son who really like the school and are flourishing. You definitely get more out of it by being an involved parent/volunteering where you can, from sports, band, clubs, etc. (It helps keep you in the loop on HS life, and it's fun to socialize with other parents t...
Overall good, mostly because I kept to myself and was pretty smart so I was in smarter classes, where teachers are generally nicer and students care less about you.
