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 my experience at Modesto high was pretty great. I was able to communicate with teachers accomplish assignments and just hold great standards of grades that made me pass and finally graduate and I think the diversity everything that they've offered was everything I needed to prepare for college, I think it's an excellent school that many other students should have the ability to attend.

The best part of Modesto High School is the subjects and the diversity. One of the worst parts of Modesto High School is the safety but I am sure all schools have their good and bad. Something I would like to see change is the food options and the crosswalk since it can be dangerous walking past it every day.

I like how there are honor courses but I don't like that there are not classes that might help you figure out what who they want to be.

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.
