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 do not want to share about my experience at Las Lomas High School right at this time. Please and thank you.

throughout my experience at Las Lomas, we had a lot of teachers leave within the past year, regardless if they were good or bad teachers a lot had left. Though the community of Las Lomas is so warm, many teachers who teach or run our school have attended Las Lomas when they were students. Those teachers tend to spread the warm character the school shares with many, those who leave don't have the same love and dedication to the school as Las Lomas Alumis and current students/teachers share. I would love to see more teachers with the same shared warmth and dedication to Las Lomas students' education.

I have observed that the Las Lomas leadership may need to enhance their support for students encountering difficulties with the curriculum.
