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.

Torrance High school is a wonderful school with a diverse student body. However I believe that the school could use some integration into technology.

Torrance high is very inclusive to all races and to LGBTQ+ students, and everyone is welcome. However, there are only 4 bathrooms in the campus, which tend to be dirty and busy. It is also hard to go to one class from the other within the 7 minute passing period, as it is a very wide campus.
