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.

While Canyon Crest Academy is a great place education wise I find it has a toxic culture surrounding college and academics. While attending I experience many people judging others based on course rigor, although this school is amazing academically.

We have an amazing math and science program. We are also famous for our conservatory programs, which are after school programs focused on the arts and humanities. 9/10

I love this school because it is very rigorous and really gets you prepared for college. Everyone is so inclusive and is really nice to everyone else. I love the campus vibes and everything. I love how weird the school is in its own little way.

For parents of special needs children: San Dieguito school district will fight you tooth and nail for accommodations, and your child will get burned. They will promise you things that they will not do, and basically leave you with the option of suing the district. Be aware.

Wow-CCA is an amazing school. I have ever seen a culture that is so inclusive and the academic performance of the school and its students speaks for itself. There are so many options and offerings, I was blown away at back to school night. My son is thriving here. The arts programs are phenomenal......

This school is excellent! The 4x4 system requires a lot of academic discipline though. All of his friends are great kids, and thrive in the school.
