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.

My experience at Redondo Union High was overall pleasant experience. I had good teachers and a support system. However, I feel the school is just too big and I there was not enough outreach and engagement for students to get involved in extracurricular activities to find their people. I felt on my own in that sense so I didnt get as involved as I should have.
