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.

Overall, EGHS is a decent school. I fear that there are some sports being more favored than the others, but the staffs work hard to make everyone feel included. Administration can be strict and advisors may be counterproductive, but with the right amount of collaboration, things can get done.

The overall experience at Elk Grove High School was very interesting. The design and layout of the school is extremely outdated, and needs quick remodeling. The teachers and environment were on the higher end of what you'd expect from a high school. There's a lot worse schools in the district, but there's also better.

Elk Grove High School has a very diverse student population, which might be one of my favorite things about the school. Most of the teachers of pretty good and they offer a decent variety of AP classes and resources for college readiness. We're known for our baseball program and our football program, and I think we also have a pretty good Mock Trial team.

I love this school. I have excellent teachers and anytime I have needed help i have gotten it. Also the music teacher is amazing. I love being in band and color guard and this is my first year of high school. So this not a bad school in my opinion.

I graduated from EGHS and I loved it! The teachers really put an emphasis on leadership and if you want to play sports or get involved with a club, there are a lot of opportunities and encouragement. The school is rich with history and pride and tradition, something I'm not sure many students today...
