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 love Tanque verde high school. My time in this district started in 2021 when I was a freshman. At first I felt so isolated but it was not long until I found friends and people I will love forever. The academics are great, and once you find your people you will have a great experience.
