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.

Samueli Academy is a great school to attend. It offers many opportunities like, sports, a variety of clubs and college-ready activities. With its small class size, I feel more connected to my school. My teachers are always available when I need them. Most importantly, I feel heard at my school.
