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 graduated with the class of 2019 at Nipomo High School and I can truthfully say I had a good overall experience attending. My four years there were good, I do not really have anything bad to say about this school. I would recommend this school to anyone, it is the perfect place to spend four years becoming educated.
