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.

Norwalk High school provides many opportunities for students to become college ready and prepare for life after high school. The collaborative work they do with Cerritos College makes the education quality better and the option for college becomes more accessible for many students and their families. Some of the buildings are dated but improvements are being executed. The quality of mathematical teachings can be improved.

But every fight was for a reason. Fights everyday in the senior square. I honestly felt that norwalk high scho...
