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.

California Academy of Mathematics and Science is a wonderful high school where I have made friendships with students and teachers. The academic opportunities are abundant and the facilities are clean and safe. One criticism I have is the preparation for the academic rigor they provide and I would like to see more change in student academic preparation.

When referring to my high school I have it a 4 out of 5 stars juts because of the rigorous time and work needed to succeed at this school. At time a sturdy sleep schedule is not an option with the amount of studying and homework you have. The reason this school has a somewhat pleasant experience is because of the memories you make their.

A lot of students don't like this school. A lot of students do. I think it depends on the type of person you are. Some students found the school easy and some found it hard. If you go here, you should definitely take only what you can handle. There are a number of extra curricular activities do do a...

I am a substitute teacher with Long Beach Unified and I have to say that CAMS is the best school I have had the pleasure of working at. There are no fences, perfect attendance, and the students have a sincere willingness to learn. The work that they are required to complete will ensure their success...
