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.

Esperanza was one of the best schools in my neighborhood and i'm fell very lucky to have been accepted there. I recently graduated and they did everything possible to make sure every student was ready for college. they have a class for seniors dedicated to making sure they're on track for graduation and they update us constantly with upcoming deadlines, scholarships, job opportunities, etc.
