Gridley High School

Three of my children have gone to this school, The teachers that I know dont worry about how there students are doing I've had to work harder then them to get my children to pass they classes because the teachers dont show the students how to do the work. They are lazy and dont care if there students are failing. The rate that students go to college from the high school is 50% so that should tell you what kind of job the teachers are doing. If I had to do it again I would have moved to Biggs Ca. And put them in school there Biggs rate of students going to college is 80%

The students think the principal is an evil vindictive power-hungry monster who must win win win at all costs... regardless of right and wrong. She cares nothing about teachers, students, or parents. My daughter is an AP student, and her and her classmates can't believe what is being done daily. The kids love their teachers, however, and actually feel bad that the teachers have to work here under this type of so-called leadership. Many amazing teachers who could teach anywhere, and why they picked Gridley who knows!

I believe that the school is wonderful. It allows students to express themselves with art, band, and ect. I believe that without Gridley High School i wouldnt be able to get the proper education that i crave. All the schools in the gridley distict are phenomal i love living in Gridley and i love the school in it's self. It's teachers and staff have taught me so much and i am honored to attend Gridley High School and all other schools of gridley before it.

As a student at Gridley High School, I feel as if Gridley High School holds me back from from the full potential of success that I desire as a student. The school in general does not give me the resources desired, such as educational and extra curricular options. Furthermore, coming from a student, I can attest that the school is an abomination to the level of schooling that we as tax payers deserve in "The Golden State".

the school is a wonderful school, with a great student body and staff. The administration is a joke, only caring about the welfare of themselves rather than that of their students. They spend their time making themselves look good rather than bettering their school. In return, the students feel very looked-down upon and feel there is nothing they can do to effect their school because every teacher or event that they disagree with, the principal and school board stands behind. The principal is best friends with the teachers that need to go and dislikes the teachers that need to stay therefore, the school is full of horrible teachers.

School is very poorly organized learning wise, they need to get more extra clubs and things. School is too run down, they need to get their stuff together.

The high school has minimal to offer students with special needs. These students need a future just as much as any other student if not more. In order to do this, you need to have caring special education instructors and quality teaching methods that address the needs of the students. Currently what suits the teacher needs and makes their life easier is what is taught, its a joke!

The administration needs to concentrate on the well being of the students. Provide higher quality education. Education programs are being cut instead of administration. The quality of some staff isn't up to high standards. We should higher those that want to better educate our students and not those with so call better resumes. We need to further research our future employees instead of just hiring them. Administration may state they research them but later we have problems due to the decision that was made poorly. It may cause less proplems in the future.

This school is very poor in all aspects of education. Somebody needs to go in there and clean things up in that school.
