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.

My experience was very good in all honesty. I was able to get far ahead into college which helped me the most in this school. Although there was good, there were too many fights which scared me.

For the last four years of my enrollment at San Jacinto High School, I notice that it seems like an average school that just lacks with student encouragement, the education seems to meet the standards of what any other school in California require. To clear things up the SJHS is in the between of safe and unsafe as well with unfair and fairness with what they provide the students and staff.

I'm not much for typing but I felt the need to leave a comment about SJHS. I LOVE the teachers here! They helped my daughter but weren't pushovers like so many schools have these days. She needed strictness yet caring and she got it. Great school.

My twins are graduating from San Jacinto High next June and I know they've had a quality education. We are actually located in Hemet, but my husband and I made arrangements to have them continue to go to SJHS. My sister's son goes to Hemet High, which we have learned is not as good as San Jacinto.
