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.

Since this is a very small continuation school, there aren't a lot of extracurricular activities exclusive to San Andreas. But because we are located on the campus of another large public school, students are welcomed to participate in the vast amount of clubs and teams provided. There are so many that I'm not sure I could name all of them, but the more popular ones include the Dance Troupe, Asian Fusion Group, Harry Potter Club, Anime Club, Movie Group, and many more.

The teachers encourage the kids to think outside the box and my daught...
