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 I believe sylmar is an amazing school. The food is not the greatest but it is good enough. The teachers and staff are encouraging and supportive. They want you to succeed and will do anything to help you.

This is a good sports and academic school but it does need better maintained facilities. The sports team in my school is really great and their is a variety of sports that are offered here and all of them are great. As for the facilities I do strongly believe that it should be regularly maintained more better.
