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.

5.0 Junior

So far since I entered as a freshman I've had positive memories and experiences at this school. People are kind to each other, teachers go out of their way to ensure that students are doing well, and there are many different resources for students to use to determine what they want to do after graduating. I've met some of the greatest people in my life at this school. The only issue is the food where depending on the day could be a hit or miss but for the most part it's a great school with some amazing people.

The best part is how close of a community we are as a school. I would to see change as a little bit more fun activity for students and teachers.

Alisal High school is big. It offers a multiple amount of classes, electives, and clubs. I came into Alisal as a Junior from another city, and I can say that my experience has been a great one. The teachers are nice, and so are the rest of the staff. They really helped me feel welcomed.

I graduated a few years back and honestly my experience was decent. Most of the issues I described were not issues I have had to deal with but what I saw as a trend around campus. If you make a good group, get involved with sports, and get good grades itll be what you make of it.
