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.

Borrego Springs High School is a very good school, as we get taught at a good quality for such a small school it is. Being able to have a good relationship with teachers is one of the things that I love most about my school. Having someone whom you can trust in the school, is so important, as it allows you to feel safe.

While Football will never be cut from the school's offerings, many of the texts are out of date and need updating according to California law. Misspending of...
