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 is hard at a small school because there are less class choices but I am making the best of it. I love my community!

Calaveras High School has taught me a lot so far, physically and mentally. I'm going into my junior and I can say I've been through a tremendous amount of hardships but the school always offered help when needed. The staff is very welcoming and kind. Overall I like going to school at Calaveras.

My son had to attend Cal Hills and the staff are wonderful. They treat the kids with such care. As a parent they've always held my concerns in very high regards. I wish they received more support from MHS because they make them feel like they are not equal to the students At Milpitas High School. I did not appreciate that not one bit. My son didn't attend Cal Hills because he had a behavior issue it was because we relocated and a lot of his credits didn't transfer.

I'm grateful I have the ability to strive for good grades but I'm just glad that life moves on. One big word I have to share. NOPE!!
