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.

As being a senior at Escondido High School, I was a transfer my 10th grade. Through the process the school was welcoming and had safe rooms like the wellness center where I found the first place to be comfortable. It has been a safe place for me for the past 3 years. As for admin they are very supportive and will help get you resources, as I needed deeply when I was struggling with depression and anxiety. Overall Escondido High is a good school. I wouldn't say its the best in the district but overall I believe it made a purpose for every person.
