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.

Not great, It would be nice for students to be able to do more. The teachers don't get in trouble for being unreasonable with students and in turn the students will get in trouble. The school will be very strict with students, and they automatically assume the worst in every student.

It is a okay school but it helps to have friends to make the experience better. My worst experiwnce us some of the unorganized facilities that are there and there isnt as many opportunities available for academics as there is for other schools.

Cordova High School has definitely been a roller coaster. I can't complain about my academics because I am a successful student. I would however say that succeeding in this school isn't that much of a challenge. I think the school could definitely work to create a more competitive environment because it would encourage student to put more effort into their academics. I would also like to advocate to get more funding for the art and music programs. The school values the athletics more than the fine arts department which I find incredibly unfair.

The oven has been broken for the past 2 weeks, the food is gross and even then, they only give us about 20 min or less to eat. We only have 3 minutes to get to class. Everything is basically online now so if your kid wants to do online school then please let me, it's better than them into fights and...
