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.

The best part of my experience, is the friends I made along the way. Cordova has students from all over and that have over 100 interests. The worst part has to be some of the staff. Most staff members dont seem to care about students or, their well being.

Cordova High School has an amazing staff who are passionate and well-equipped for their difficult and under appreciated jobs. A prevalent issue, however, is that there is lack of incentive for students to prepare for college; There is a failure within the school to prepare students for the next step.
