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.

I enjoyed my high school experience, even though I personally did not take part in much of anything. It was still fun and educational at the same time, and my teachers were all amazing. I still remember good times shared with the staff, and I do miss it all dearly. Grossmont High school is one of those schools where, if you put in effort to be a part of the spirit and of the school, you will be paid back greatly in return.

In this school we are always supported by our teachers, and have a lovely gifted program. Freshmen are encouraged to pace themselves to prevent burn-out, and to take more challenging classes for themselves in order to improve.

For the years 2010 through 2015, our 2 daughters attended Grossmont High School. Their experience as students, and ours as parents was exceptional. 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...
