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.

The STEM classes offered there are really good, and the school provides various types of STEM classes. However, the social science classes, are just okay, not really the best. The coaches for track aren't the best, but a few are pretty good. Unfortunately, the track equipment isn't funded really well, a lot of the money goes to football and other sports. Overall, though, it was a nice school to attend.

Grossmont has lots of spirit. There is a mix of great teachers and a few not-so-hot - that don't seem very interested. The student population is mixed and pretty welcoming.

There were plenty of rigorous Honors and AP courses. In fact, our oldest AP tested out of 4 GE college courses. That's like $$ in the bank!We found the...

I'm a former student of Grossmont. I was a straight A student here. This school in no way prepared me for college. I don't know how to apply for scholarships and I only have a slight idea on how to apply to a university. I had to just figure it out for myself and use google to teach me. If you want...
