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.

I'm a junior at Mira mesa high school. I recently joined as I just moved in from India and the transition has been almost flawless. The teachers I have met are all nice and friendly and very helpful. I'm in my final week of semester one right now and honestly, it's actually going pretty well. I've made many friends and it's been a fun time.

Education wise Mira Mesa High is a really solid school with many students getting into (top) UC schools very frequently. Maybe it's because of our vicinity near these top schools in which we have the right resources and curriculum to be able to get into these schools. All around a really good school. Really the only drawback may be the facilities, more so the lack of cleanliness of the bathrooms and the occasional ac/ wifi issues in a lot of the buildings. But those issues are mainly the stature of the facilities and has nothing to do with the quality of the education here. Overall a solid 8.5/10 school!! :)
