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 had a good experience for the most part! The only concerns I have is lack of safety. There have been numerous incidents at the school where the student's safeties were at stake.

The best part of my experience was my experience on the flag football and track team. I also had an amazing experience with the medical pathway especially my HBS class and teacher. They did an amazing job making the classes engaging and thorough. I did not have a great experience with many of the physics/math classes where it felt like I was teaching myself.

So far, the best experience of California High School is that the academics and the food has gotten way more better from my middle school. The only part of my experience that was kind of bad was that in the bathroom, there are many people that hotbox and thats the only part I dislike about the school. Other than that, California High School has been a good experience for me.

My son was able to enroll in AP classes and push...
