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 overall experience at Santa Fe High has been very interesting, returning freshly out of covid there hasn't been a lot of structure. The school has its pros and cons but most of the teachings are pretty good.

Santa Fe High School has many AP course opportunities and some knowledgable teachers. However, it lacks in consistent and reliable administration and overall student supports.

Santa Fe High School has been pretty not terrible to me. I feel mixed feelings about this high school if im being honest. It is hard to really see my feelings on the school separate from the feelings I hold in general. The teachers have been great and I have learned quite a lot from a good selection of courses. Some of the administration sucked though but thats all I will say.

This school is a very unbalanced school. My niece had come home from school furious eexplaining to me that security keeps being called on her for "riding her skateboard" and then they rip it out of her hands when she has evidence from multiple teachers and students that she wasnt on it. The educatio...
