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.

Throughout my years at Sante Fe High School, I have always enjoyed coming to this school. The culture and spirit of each student and staff member here are unlike any other school I've ever seen. The dedication that comes from everyone at Santa Fe High School is something that you only experience in stadiums and other big events. I am proud to go to this school and show my pride wherever I might be.

My overall experience has been eventful. There were many ways to stay busy and I loved our sports environment. Our school really valued the culture of our chieftain and involvement. The culture may seem small but it really made high school experience unique. Everyone on campus are always very supportive of each other and everyone's constant participation. There is so much to do on and off of our campus.
