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 is not the best in terms of inclusivity or in helping you achieve what you need to get ready for college, but some of teachers really hold a space in my heart. They go above and beyond for what they need to do and it's made it easier to get through the school year.

I started Los Banos High a freshman, new to Los Banos. The school itself seemed really outdated, with a few really good teachers. I was able to take all AP and Honors classes. The dances and proms have been horrible, as they don't do anything new or go anywhere exciting, it's always at school or in a barn in town. So in that aspect I feel I was a bit jeped. The best part to me has been playing sports ( Golf, swim, water polo) and being in ASB, FFA and Color Guard. I am huge on school spirit, and our school does have that.

At Los Banos Highschool there is a massive focus on Agriculture and athletics. However with other areas such as math and science there seems to be a disconnect, the math scores are not the greatest for the 2024 class which is most likely due to covid. Overall i would rate this school a 4/10 based upon the facilities and staff.

So far, I've experienced a bit of prejudgment from the students. In comparison to my last school, I feel that the environment here is worse for me. I feel that I was able to make GOOD friends at my previous school. I don't really feel a sense of belonging here at LBHS.

They don't take care of handle bullying very well. Teachers don't pay attention to the bullying and teasing going on. They just turn a blind eye to it. Children need to be able to feel safe and comfortable at school and not fear going each day.

If I could give this school a negative star rating I would. I am so disgusted and disappointed with this school. 3 weeks into school my daughter was moved out of her Biology class. This was because this class was now a Spanish immersion class, and all of the "English" speaking children were moved ou...
