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.

I can say the 4 years I have attended this school it has been a roller coaster from teachers leaving, small amount of sports, very small campus etc. Even though this school has negatives it also comes with positives like involving many activities that the students will enjoy, great support from staff and teachers, helpful resources, and just making sure the students are on track to graduate.

When I first came to cindy avitia high school I wasn't sure if it was the right school for me but now that I am going to be a senior this year and have been at this school for 3 years I can say it is a good school. It has its flaws here and there but overall it is a great school that gives many opportunities to students.

It's a decent school. Some issues at time but the staff is nice and classes are okay. The type of school you'd go to because you live close by.

As someone who used to work there, not only was the school not compliant with standards set by the district, they would falsify them by training the staff the day before scheduled visits. The students constantly complained because of new untrained teachers without credentials and a high turnover rat...

My time at this school has been nothing short of a nightmare, exacerbated by the school's myriad shortcomings. As a new student, joining late has only highlighted the glaring issues with this institution. The students' reluctance to interact has created an unwelcoming atmosphere that is suffocating...
