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.

4.0 Junior

In Florin High School once you find a community or something that you love and you stick with it, then school is very fun. My best experience in Florin would be playing in the school band and doing marching competitions. The worst part would probably be the bathrooms that we have since they are very dirty.

The best part about Florin High School is that I was able to surround myself with people who were similar to me and who were different than me without me or them trying to judge one another. The worst part about my experience there was that there were so many fights that it disrupted the peace and sanction of the school, but in overall, I'd say that I had a great time attending at that school.
4.0 Senior
11/6/2023
My overall experience so far is pretty okay. What I think the best part of being in this high school is being able to be who I am freely without people making fun of me. This school is really nice for a new student and for whoever is looking for an opportunity for education.

Great teachers, average facilities, below average administration (at least while I was attending). In a bubble, this would be one of the finest schools out there. They seem to make the most out of the few resources they have and even though participation from the community is low there is a lot of p...

My years of attending Florin was absolutely phenomenal, although I encountered many roadblocks along the way, I could say nevertheless it was the best time of my life that I had the privilege to be an honorable Panther at Florin. Once a Panther, Always a Panther!!!!
