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.

Arroyo High School has its pros and cons. There are some really excellent teachers who motivates and encourages students to learn, while some teachers are not as good, and those students feel like they are not learning to their max. The academics are relatively good.

The best part about arroyo high school is the diversity and the hospitality. The worst part about Arroyo high school is the resources and funding from the district.

The best part about Arroyo was definitely the people and teachers. All the teachers I had taught their subjects in a way that I, and most other students were able to understand. I was able to learn a lot from all my teachers. The one thing that could be fixed is the student punishments/consequences from negative behavior.

Going to arroyo for four years has been an exciting experience. There are some teachers here that feel like friends and some like other school that feel like wardens. The people here are okay but we could stop accepting so many freshman. But this school is okay.
