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.

Being an active member in my school through ASB, I love the experiences that I have had and the people I have had them with. I would like to see a change in some of the teaching staff as well as the school's event planning.

Tehachapi High School is a place where (like everywhere else) your experience and what you get out of it depends on what you put in. Personally, I have had some of the greatest times of my life at this school, and this is because I do my best to be as involved in the school as possible.

I would like to see this school put more emphasis on their arts programs instead of being focused solely on football. I would love to see a thriving dramatic arts program, music, and more graphic design classes.
