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.

Bolsa Grande High school is located in Garden Grove California. Ever since I was a kid I felt connected to the campus. I knew from watching my brothers volleyball games and lipsync performances that I wanted to attend this school. Now that I have attended this school for three years I can say it feels like a second home. Although no school is perfect and Bolsa comes with its set of imperfections it still remains a welcoming and positive environment for kids to learn.

The school is over good. The teachers, most, enjoy their work and really try to get to know and help their students.

At Bolsa Grande, everyone is amicable and willing to help the others around them, regardless of race or sexuality as our school is a no place for hate.

As a student at Bolsa, my experiences have basically shown me that Bolsa is just ok. The other kid's behavior here tends to be pretty rude or inappropriate, but there are others that are really kind and polite. The ASB is also not very nice or helpful as they should be, they just act higher than eve...
