Henry High School

being a student at patrick henry i will say that it is not one of the more elite schools in san diego. but nor is a terrible school by any means... i have been to many other schools in san diego for summer school and many other programs so i have dealt with many teachers, i would have to say that patrick henry has some of the best, teachers who care and don't want you to fail. the counselors are great who will do anything to help to succeed.patrick henry is well know for drugs, alcohol and gangs, drugs and alcohol YES but what do you expect its high school. i myself was introduced the weed my sophomore year, i only did it for about 10 months, i will say i can be very easy to caught up in drugs and alcohol at patrick henry. all and all Patrick henry high is a awesome school with great teachers and staff..... but if you don"t want your child to be in a school were he/she will more then likely will be introduced to drugs/alcohol then patrick henry high school is not a good choice...

Let me tell you this, this school is one of the worst. i am a student here, and i hate it so much, it is very horrible and the counselors and students are just complete trash. if you can go to another school, please do.

Front office staff, more notably attendance ladies..WORST EVER!! Admitting my son to Henry was the worst experience I have ever encountered! If you plan to enroll your child into Henry HS, be prepared to deal with incompetent, unhelpful, cross, dreary faced individuals who think for some reason you are beneath them and you're not worthy of being treated with respect and regard. Thank GOD, it's my son's 1st and last year there! He says most teachers are fine, his counselor has been helpful and attentive. It's definitely WAY OVER POPULATED! My two younger one's will NOT be attending Henry HS!

Horrible school employees especially working in the cafeteria. They are very rude and the school would be good if they did not hire horrible employees especially in the cafeteria. And among other parts of the school. I hate this school. They need to change the system in the school. Especially the cafeteria staff are extremely rude to subs. They should be nicer because a sub dedicated his or her time to work for their school instead they like to complain.

Kids easily 'fall through the cracks' at Patrick Henry, too much problems with Gang and drugs and a very poor supervision in campus, they bus a lot kids out of the bounderies and trouble start for good students. The admon. have a very minor respond to take care issues with DRUGS, my son got offer many times to buy drugs while in campus. And have to pull him out of Patrick Henry

henry high school is okay. The school needs more extracurriculm and need to focus in the students way more. Teachers need to slow down and explain the work not just teach it.

After reading some of the reviews here last year, I was very concerned about sending my child to this school. However, here we are nearly half way through her first year at Henry, and I am pleasantly surprised at her experience so far. My child is having a wonderful time. Her teachers have been challenging and nurturing. She is enjoying the clubs and school activities as well. We've had no contact with the administration so I don't know that aspect of the school at all but academically and socially speaking, my kid is having a great high school experience.

There are problems with gang activity and drugs making there way to Henry High. I am also concerned that the facility lacks in security what other San Diego schools may have.
