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.

Overall, I have had an unmemorable experience throughout my four years at this school. However, the teachers I have learned under stand out, for better or worse. There are kind people here, but racism and homophobia are particular issues among the student body. There are some resources available if you know where to look.

I love the small school environment, everyone knows everyone(you have to!) The teachers are super friendly and very supportive you can tell they really do care about the kids. I love to see the staff out getting the kids in the morning on their way in always with a smile. The kids are great they look out for eachother, we've met a lot of parents as well everyone is very welcoming.

McClymonds has had very little teacher turn over in the last few years which is very unusual for OUSD.

There are so many opportunities for students -- maker space, interships, l...
