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.

I enjoyed by academic journey at Corcoran High School. I was able to participate in activities such as the Robotic club and other activities. I was a member of the Honor Society a well as AN IB Student. While at Corcoran I was able to make some good connection with teachers as well as classmates.

What I love bout Corcoran is that we are all one big family. We all love each other an look out for one another. Also the administration are like are parents, they are so supportive and they show they care. They never let us down ! They make sure we are always on the right track and they make sure everyone is happy and safe. Corcoran has the best support Yates when it comes to sports and fundraising or any other kind of extracurricular activity. Corcoran is just the best school. I wouldn't change anything about it.
