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 experience at Sonora High School was ok, however some improvements such as better teaching staff, call to order in classrooms, and a more helpful counselor would be a better approach to making the independent school district a lot better. Regardless of that, my experience at Sonora high school was considered smooth yet at some points had a rough curve or two due to difficult and very generic teaching styles.

I loved my experience at Sonora high school, I graduated 2022. It's where I was born and raised and it's a classic football loving small town. The people that took charge my Junior Year sort of managed to lose that spark that was there and I am glad I got out when I did. The main thing I would want to change is to have all of the workers, meaning all school board members too, to focus on the kids and to have the respect towards teachers.

Sonora is a close town and I am lucky to have grown up in a place wear I feel so much love and acceptance. Sonora is a great town to grow up in, there is always someone there to watch after you. Also the Friday nights in Sonora during football season are hard to beat
