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.

It was overall a good school and had good teachers/staff. However, there were times that lessons, especially those in early high school years that seemed unnecessary and didn't aid with college readiness.

Been here my whole life. The high school sucks from what I've heard, so don't come here for high school. Pretty good school overall, but I won't be here for high school

I like that Presidio is a small school, so it is easy to gt help and work with your teachers one-on-one. I wish that there were more clubs and activities, I have to go to other locations to find things to do for college applications.

I would not recommend this school to anyone I am horrified by these teachers and how the school treats the kids. This school obviously doesn't care about anything besides its reputation to the point where they dont even care enough to buy vollyball court. I have been at this schoo for several years...
