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 six year old severely autistic son is attending his second year at Balboa Elementary and the special education teachers and program are wonderful! My son has come a long way and I contribute a lot of his progress with the care and dedication he receives from this excellent school.
