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.

In the four years that attended Quartz Hill High School. I made a strong core group of friends that supported me. I am thankful for the teachers that I had that challenged me and I was also able to take part in programs that helped me prepare for high school such as dual enrollment programs. I also had chances to take part in volunteer activities that enabled me to grow as a person. Quartz Hill offered various clubs that focused on student diversity and helped me grow my leadership skills. Overall I enjoyed my time at Quartz Hill High School and I am thankful for my experience.

I have had many great experiences at Quartz Hill High. They offer a wide variety of rigorous classes, academies, extracurriculars, etc. I also enjoyed the school culture which is stronger than other schools in the district, in my opinion. However, some things I would like to see change is the upkeep of certain facilities on campus.

There is total apathy toward the arts.Discipline is a j...

It’s one of the better ones in Lancaster. But that isn’t saying much. We don’t have a lot of options here for quality education where our kids are safe and bullying is stopped. This school does its best and is far better than a few of the others in the area. Still I moved rather than letting my kids...
