Grossmont High School is a great school with lots of opportunities. I participated in both the arts and sports and enjoyed my time in both. The teachers are all welcoming and its easy to get connected.

5.0 Senior

2/22/2023

I honestly believe that Grossmont High School is an excellent high school. Their sports are fun most of the teachers are incredibly cool. The food is average but the culture of going to the home games for football and doing the dress-up days is fantastic.

4.0 Sophomore

1/6/2022

I like the layout of the campus, the diversity, and the kindness of the teachers. It would be nice to have more language classes offered and the bathrooms could use a little maintenance but otherwise Grossmont is a great school.

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...
