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.

HMSA is a really good school. The staff is very friendly and the teachers are always willing to help. There is different clubs students can join and if there is one club students are interested in that we don´t have they can create it on campus.

This school gave me PTSD and shamed me for getting accepted to go to El Camino College. The principal traumatizes the students for not being perfect and they don't care if you fail all your classes because you will be kicked out. Unless you know Mrs. Bayani.
