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.

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 is primarily honors and AP classes, however I have had a "regular" class in my time at Sabino. I've noticed that honors/AP teachers and classes better prepare students for college and future classes, while regular classes only teach enough for an obscenely weighted test grade. I'd like to see better college and future readiness in non-advanced classes at Sabino.

Sabino has taught me a lot of lessons about life and how to become an adult. It also taught me teamwork and respect.

I greatly enjoy going to Sabino High School, I have learned so much while in attendance here. This is my second high school and it meets or exceeds my experiences at my previous school in every way.

We have had very many perspectives of the school through the years.Bottom line...

I'm currently a student at Sabino. I'm apart of the 2024 class and it's October 6th, 2022.Sabino is a pretty mediocre school. It doesn't seem to really excel at anything in particular. They do offer a variety of AP classes but all the electives are the run-of-the-mill ones you see at every high scho...
