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.

Overall is an amazing school. Very much helpful in preparation for our future weather we plan to go to college or not. There are also many study hall/aid classes even some before and after school. Your student can also attend free community college classes from cuyamaca while attending Steele and can earn college credits from the class

Overall my experience was good. I loved being apart of the cross country team and building a close relationship with my teams as they became a second family to me. Outside of cross the school was ok.

Large school , good school spirit, good curriculum , might need more diverse electives and adding teachers so students have a bit more chances to get electives they need. Otherwise the school is a great learning environment and prepares your for college . They have a university style curriculum , like college classes and that is really helpful ! Longer class time allows students to really learn material which isn't that way with other schools in our district. Would choose Steele again if I was a freshman !!

Average school overall, including academically. It's not a bad school - but it's not a great school. It doesn't stand out. They're great at marketing themselves to SEEM fantastic, but they're really just average. Just another regular school - nothing special.

I have a student currently attending Steele and I am very disappointing. This school is pathetic academically and unimpressive in every other facet.

I have two students, soon to be three at Steele. My two are thriving at Steele academically, they both participate in sports/team opportunities like track, swim, cheer and football. They love it!!!Steele Canyon has been a positive educational experience for us and I couldn't be happier!!!
