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.

Anywhere but here it's not worth it no school culture or academics. Administration is great bur understaffed ; a lot requires you as a student to be ready for college

Raoul Wallenberg High School is a small school of 600 students located in San Francisco. The faculty at this school has a very good connection with students. Even though we may not have events like other big schools, Wallenberg tries their best to make students happy and allow them to have a safe community.

I would not recommend this school for anyone with a 504 plan. I choose this school because I thought a small school would be better for my 504 plan. Obviously I was wrong. The bathrooms are locked at the most inconvenient times, so if someone needs to use the bathroom they would have to miss class....

My daughter is finishing her freshman year and has been striving. Classroom size are very small which allows for more 1:1 support for students, teachers care and know kids names, needs and strengths. Wellness programs are very helpful and supported my daughter with her transition into a new school w...
