The school got rebuilt so it's far better now, but there was controversy with some teachers. Some are very good though and help with the access to college and finding a major, while also encouraging friendship. I'm sure with the new building the safety and facilities will be far better then when I attended though.

I am an alumni who recently graduated. My best experiences that I had were in marching band I believe. The best thing to do in high school is to find a group of people and GJHS is pretty good about the clubs that they offer and they have good benefits.

My experience at grand junction high school has been alright. I have excelled academically because of my self motivation to do well at school, I could have easily fallen through the gaps. There are so great teachers, but the issue comes with the condemned building and lack of reassures available.

A very high percentage of the students that graduate are not college ready. The most important focus is not academics but the struggling athletic programs. Some teachers are very caring and will respond to concerns immediately. Others never respond and you have to talk to the administrator to get fe...

We have been there 4 years, through former and new principals. I have found that kids that are high performing and popular will do fine. You will see the same kids get recognized over and over. There is no support for the average student that starts to struggle. Head in the sand is their motto. Teac...
