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.

San Lorenzo High School is given less access to resources to help provide students with adequate academics, our sister school receives most if not all funding from the district we are just know as the school on the "other side of the tracks" and it is so disappointing if it weren't for my own will to succeed and search for opportunities id be like the rest of my peers with a vape addiction and zero care for my academics.

My school has a lot of resources for students to use especially for college and they give a lot of information about different colleges but i feel like when they tell up stuff, it's very limited.

Negative one. Admin is in constnat reactive mode to problems but wont take a stand against so many social ills that plague the place. Kids regularly run around out of control on campus and noone does anything about it. Gen ed teachers dont attend IEP meetings

And I love the people that come with it! Here's the problem that started in 2016 at San Lorenzo—since he...

Amazing school and staff! They are fortunate to have an amazing principal with Tovi Scruggs. My 16 year old, a Junior has attended since 9th grade, he has had a great experience with some wonderful teachers who really care about their students and has made amazing friendships.
