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.

Redwood high school is a academically challenging yet supportive environment for all students. The rigorous education encourages high performance. The teacher and administration, however, are supportive to all students and supply a lot of accommodations. Additionally, the student body is lively and friendly.

Redwood High School has abundant resources and many of the teachers are incredibly invested and helpful. However, the student body does lack in diversity, not by any fault of the school but mainly just a reflection of the area. Therefore, the overall culture of the school is a bit isolated and can be uncomfortable for some, but overall it is a good public school.

I don't know what has happened to this place but when I went there 40 yrs ago it was a good school and so I sent my kids there. Now after one year I have nothing good to say about the place. The instruction has been a joke . The support staff is inept and they are fumbling in the dark.
