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.

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.

During my freshman year of high school, all of the schedules came out the day of school which caused us to be confused on what our classes were and where we should go which was definitely an inconvenience. Even though this school isn't the best, it was my friends and the activities there that were the highlight of my year.

They even have this ridiculous senior project that you only get a few months to work on supposedly which is just even more busy work and a waste of time...

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!!!!
