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.

What I liked about this school is their music program and their AVID Program because they have instruments in storage if you want to learn a new intrument, as well as, the program prepares you for college and guides on the steps to applying for college. The changes that I would like to see in this school is it could use some new renovations.

I have been to Ganesha High for my full four years. And to be completely honest I have enjoyed it. The staff and teachers are mostly nice and you can go to. The school it self could be better by possibly getting new classrooms like cleaning them. And i favorite part of the campus would be the library they have comfortable seats and the libraries nice and good to talk to.
