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.

One of the best high schools in Carson. A very diverse school with many clubs and activities. The teachers are the best and are always there to help their students whenever. This school provides so many opportunities for the stud students and makes sure the school is a safe place to be at.
