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.

Seaside high school is a place where people are able to express themselves freely. Personally I feel like the academics could be better meaning more classes and the way they teach. Overall what I really like about the school is how close our community is. It's makes the school fun and very enjoyable

I liked the sense of community, but the teachers were too laid back. I'd like to see students pushed more.

What I do enjoy about Seaside High school is that it has diversity, you don't know the person next to you. There's people with different cultures and colors that you don't know what to expect but that every person is different.

Principal does not support teachers. Teachers are not qualified. Too many subs. Students are not safe. There have been multiple fights and race was a factor. Very sad.

My kid got shot there. They don't have effective teachers who are qualified in training.

The Rating number for this School isn't appropriate. The Score is much lower than a ( 5 ) It maybe better than it was years ago but Test Scores don't lie. And even a rating of ( 5 ) sucks.
