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.

El Rancho High School was a place I wish I can go back too due to it's simplicity back at that time. It made me grow as a person despite some of its flaws and I am grateful it gave me an education. As a college student I don't think the school did the best job in making us college ready academic wise. Their college and career center was helpful however it is shown that they didn't know everything. Sports wise the the school seems to struggle on its funding for sports teams. They may be building a new stadium however before the soccer and football teams had to share the field and the track and cross country teams ran in the dirt track. It is a great school that has the right intentions however it needs to improve in its quality of its services.

The school has a strong community and excellent environment. The stadium is getting redone, which was supposed to be finished by my freshman year, sucks because i can't get to practice on my home field my junior year and maybe most of my senior year. I love being here due to all the clubs and activities that happen throughout the school year.

I attended this school for my first 2 years of high school. It was an absolutely terrible experience. The teachers are not good at doing their jobs. The administration is rude and completely uncaring. They will say that they will do something for you and try to improve your experience there but they...
