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 think our school has the worst orchestra in the whole school district. The toilets are really bad, Americans don't even flush them after they use them.

Overall enjoyed my time at Las Lomas High School. Had a great experience with peers and teachers. My classes were great, and it has been relatively easy getting all the resources I need. However, I didn't have the best experience playing Baseball at Las Lomas and the facilities feel old.

I am a current senior, and i do agree that they have great teachers but these years the new generation of students are less academic and therefore many good teachers are leaving and the new teachers are not as good as the old ones, also the % of white and higher income students are lowering this yea...
