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.

I spent my last two years at Cesar Chavez, this is also the school I graduated from. Overall the school itself is decent, the staff do their jobs and the teachers aren't as bad. Some may teach better than others but that's pretty common in a public school. However, the students are pretty snotty and like to make it difficult for all. Many don't follow the schools code and act more like children. It wasn't a "worth wild" experience but I got educated correctly and that's all that really matters.

My son is a sophomore and he or myself haven't had any bad experience with the school. They offer plenty of help and Saturday tutoring if needed.

This school is horrible. The teachers and staff are not at all prepared for special needs kids. They fall through the cracks and are bullied horribly by the students as security and staff overlook it. The kids are little thugs and most have little chance of a positive future given how terrible the s...
