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.

Most teachers are friendly, the curriculum is good, but there are a lot of smokers in the bathroom. Students can't use the bathroom during passing period because of this. Also, the tardy policy is ridiculous because it just makes you more late to class. The new digitized bathroom passes are an issue too. Sometimes a student really needs to use the bathroom, but the system does not let them.

I have been enrolled at Monterey Trail since my freshman year of high school, I can say it is a fairly good school. However, admin could improve as well as activities.
