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.

The best part about California High School is easily the teachers. Most teachers here make the classes tolerable and fun to be in. I don't have much else to say other than every other part was subpar at best.

Teachers and staff are friendly and helpful. There are many options in getting help for subjects. One thing I didn't like were the desks. They were usually too small and uncomfortable.
