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.

This school offers a lot of opportunities to students. Especially to those interested in filming, producing, teaching, music, performing arts, etc. Sometimes administrators are too strict.

I have had no bad experience, I have had the best experience in that school. Overall I am glad I transferred to that school during the second semester of my sophomore year. All that staff and teachers have always been there for me.

My experience at Hollywood High School was incredible I was able to have many opportunities that would help decide on what career I wanted to do. It is a good school and it might have some downfalls but overall it was the best school for me.

I regret sending my child here. The administration particularly is slowly eliminating anything positive like sports programs. Read the article in the LA Times about having all coaches reapplying for their positions, successful and not. A disgrace.

I did not like my experience here academically. The students are highly unmotivated to learn and disrespectful. The only great thing about this school is the musical theatre program. Many dedicated, passionate and hardworking students participate in the musical production. There is still some drama...
