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 Encina high school has been great amidst all the stereotypes. One of the things I like the most about Encina is the great diversity there is.Diversity in a school is really what makes students feel safe and comfortable in a school environment.And that's the best thing about Encina you can find so much about it.One thing I would like to see Change is the stereotypes people have made about this school. The stereotypes include this school being "ghetto" which means a poor and urban part of a city which is occupied by minorities. I really wish people could see the real community behind Encina.
