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.

I loved this middle school when I attended in 2012-2015. Everyone was super nice and the teachers were always helpful! As well as the music department with Ms. Choi was the absolute best!! She loves her students and even sites everyone is motivated and doing their best in orchestra.

The lunch is very unhealthy and the healthier options generally taste less good then others. the electives don't have any real skill that modern jobs require. the education is the only education I have every had so I cant say I can complain if I have nothing better or worse.

As a former student, I would like to say that this school has a lot of bullying problems. I still remember the bullying incident we had in math class and we got recorded on one of my classmates' phone without our knowledge and it reached 10k views on Twitter within a day or two. There are only a few good teachers there and the others are horrible. Whenever I tried to report a bullying incident, the office would do nothing about it and they would ignore it and everything. I'm glad that we got out. The school did nothing for us when it comes to bullying and everything.
I saw a kid I knew come crying after school. He told me kids were bullying him, stealing his stuff and throwing stuff at him. Despite him trying to tell administrators nothing happend to them This school is very bad with dealing with bullied kids. Keep in mind this kid has no mom, and has a dad that...
My child attended Niguel Hills and enjoyed her years there as a student- Niguel Hills laid the foundation for her success in high school. As a parent, I felt that the administration, leadership, compassion for students' needs, and positive environment were all top notch.
Current administration is very supportive of students and parents. Teachers go above and beyond to connect with students and insure they are learning and thriving. There are a wide selection of programs for students to participate in such as theatre, choir, jazz band, orchestra, band, video producti...
Keep your kids out of this school!!! Admin does nothing to protect the students here from bullying or assaults by other children. School “policies” are not implemented at all, and admin regularly gaslights parents that advocate for their children’s rights and protection. The school is unsafe, toxic,...
