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 think Modesto High is a really great place but could be made much better. There is always a club that you can join and find friends so we're not alone. However, I think that because of where we live the safety is not very good. My school is located right next to downtown Modesto on the west side and there is a lot of gang violence and drug abuse. Although with these challenges in our school our new administration is already making it much better and have plans for the upcoming students.

I wouldn't have changed my high school experience at all. Great school academically with the IB Program, as well as the opportunity to be partial IB and/or AP and CP classes. School spirit is great here-pep rallies at other schools don't compare, and other extra-curricular activites are great too.
