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.

There is a lot to be said about the last few years here, but I think the administration and overall experience is currently on its way up.

Point Arena High School is in a small rural area. A lot of the teachers are educated, well rounded individuals. Getting one on one time with the educators is much easier since there is more trees on the campus then people. However, having a high school that ranges between 100-150 people can be difficult if your a social person. The ways you branch out socially seem to be fruitless and your peers are often narrow minded. Yet it is still a great place to go if you prefer a more relaxed quiet lifestyle.
