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 high school has low expectations and this can be a blessing and a curse. We have great opportunities for sports and clubs. Our principal is great and very involved and we have a handful of teachers who really care.

My entire experience at Sahuaro has been amazing. I've made so many friends and developed so many hobbies. Theater Arts at Sahuaro had made my future career of theater so exciting. I wouldn't miss it for the word. I'm so ready to graduate and have an amazing future ahead of me.

So far so good. We transferred in from Cienega in Vail due to distance and so far I've been very happy with all the positive changes. Smaller class sizes, attentive teachers, etc. Don't be afraid to give Sahuaro a go, it surprised us.

This school has made it clear that they don’t care about their students. My child is bullied very badly by both students and teachers. When the issue is brought up with the school, they make excuses and nothing is ever resolved. It’s a shame because my daughter used to love school and now fights me...

School does not provide students with text books or access to online material to study subjects. Tells parents the students have to rely on notes taken during class!! FAIL!
