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.

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.

the teachers/counselors really care about the students and gave me good resources to succeed. I like that there's an option for concurrent enrollment, which really prepares students.

I like Options For Youth because it provides a safe space that students need, the one on one interaction with a teacher, and the second chance to graduate high school. It also provides interactive field trips for students. Options For Youth is a WIAO partner that helps students select a career after high school.

My son went to Option when he needed some personal attention and encouragement, he received at Option which gave him another chance. I just graduated from UC Berkeley -I am a Cal Mom
I went to OFY-SG throughout most of highschool. It was perfect for my learning style. Graduated in 2 years and I now attend Cal Poly Pomona. It's not just for "at risk" students. As in my case, OFY may be the right option for some students who are tired and bored of traditional schooling.

I would definitely enroll your child at that center if you can. Mrs. Portillo is okay. She seems to be on a kind of power trip, yet does not handle is...
