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.

Santiago Middle School is a place where all kids are welcomed and celebrated. Every child is valued and kindness is sprinkled like confetti. Students have their choice of tons of electives that aren't offered at other middle schools and the staff cares with their whole hearts.
