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.

A very prominent white school, incredibly small of about 500 students. You will most likely have the same teacher multiple years in a row, but I haven't had a bad experience with any teachers. Racism and homophobia is present (like most schools) but is more visible due to how small the school is. There aren't a lot of electives or AP classes to pick.

I think Paradise High School is overall a good school, the food is good and the teachers are for the most part, nice but it does have flaws like little to no diversity and how the school doesn't stay clean.

Bathrooms are regularly out of order, we didn't have soap my entire freshman year, the only program that gets any money is football, teachers are paid so poorly, and we have a ridiculously expensive (but cheaply-made) fence that poses more danger than safety. Teachers are the only good thing about this god-forsaken place.
