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.

Overall, my experience at San Juan Hills has been good, personally as someone involved in the instrumental music program, I have a good amount of pride for our school. The school also makes it easy to get ready for college, with counsel available in the library every day.

San Juan Hills is one of the best schools in the district and all our programs and activities are amazing. The campus is so pretty for a high school its beautiful. Really the only complaint I have about San Juan is that the staff is rude.

Went here all 4 years of high school. It was pretty great academics wise. The teachers are all very understanding and helpful on the tough curriculum.
