My daughter attends Granite Hills and is having a wonderful experience. As with any school you have your typical groups of youth who buck the system. My daughter has been in Honors/AP/IB classes so tends to interact with the students who want to be there. She is in her Junior year, but within the first month of her Freshman year a cheerleader decided to harrass her. I called the office and the cheerleader was removed from the squad immediately. The teachers are engaging and truly love what they do. I highly recommend this school!
THIS IS THE WORST SCHOOL IN THE WORLD AND MY DAUGHTER WENT THERE AND SHE IS DOING WAY BETTER AT EL CAJON VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL
It was my high school and it contains very deserving and amazing teachers who are dedicated to their jobs, students, and lives. I had a wonderful time there and I am glad I graduated from such a prestige school!
Granite Hills is a wonderful place of learning. It has energetic and creative teachers. It also has a student body that care about their school and others!
Granite Hills has such a fantastic staff that really do their best to help the students to understand. Many of them go out of their way to 'live at the school' so they can give students extra help before and after school. Everyone at Granite Hills works very hard to make the learning experience of every student memorable and successful.
I have a son who is a sophmore at Granite Hills and another who will be a Freshman next year. I give thanks to all the teachers, counselors and coaches at Granite who have welcomed our family and encouraged my kids to get involved and get great grades. Granite has a diverse student body and support for kids abounds. Head coaches are teachers, so they see kids on the field/court and in the classroom. And the administration is a big family who take good care of the kids and help guide them towards bright futures. There is the IB, Honors programs, every sport you can think of, auto shop, robotics, destination imagination, theatre, band, choir, surf club, golf, etc.
I am a freshman at granite and i immediately felt at home. i am in the honors program and it goes at the exact fight pace. i have made many lifelong friends and i couldn't ask for anything more
My son is now a sophomore and is currently participating in the International Baccerlarate (IB) Program at Granite Hills High School. He has excellent teachers that have proven that they truly care about their students. I have personally been in contact with my son's teachers and counselor, and have been very happy and satisfied with each and every one of them. They are very approachable, knowledgable and professional. My son also participates in the Academic League. We are extremely happy with this school.
The teachers at this school are just wonderful. We have not experianced one bad teacher yet and I have two kids that attend there.
My daughter attended Steele Canyon last year and was not happy there. We transferred to Granite Hills this year and we couldn't be happier! Don't make the mistake we did and judge a school by its appearance....Ask parents and kids who go there. Granite is the most spirited school and the kids love going there and the teachers love teaching there! I highly recommend this school!
