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 used to be a student here, my journey was pretty long struggled at first in my academics but since the teachers here are welcoming they guided me to where I'm standing now. Being able to teach what my math teacher taught me to another student in my high school class. This school also has a great special Ed department they guided many kids along the way kind of how the teachers did for me.

This school is the best in the San Gabriel Valley. The staff really care about their students and work very hard to make sure all students achieve. They have been in existence for 20 years and have achieved many awards and recognitions for their great academics. I can't say enough about how wonderful this school is.

Overrated school. Principal was like an artist never approachable, the few times we would see her outside was to yell at someone for parking in the wrong spot. When it came down to bullying this school was no help. They are more worried about their ratings than the actual well being of the student....

This school accept student from every district. That’s why they have a long waiting list. Keep to tell people that they are hard to losing people. So why they don’t control the waiting list. Keep to put people on the waiting list. When it’s time for the children. They may have already graduated from...
