The campus is very nice and the staff is caring and well trained. It is not an easy time in education (with such polarity in society) but the staff does a great job at helping students to become thinkers and caring people. The fact that it is an IB school is a huge plus. This is the program diplomats around the world are sending there kids into.

Ugh, what a disaster this school is. Every body there is extremely rude including the staff and students. There are multiple cases of drug and alcohol incidents. The school is very old, and does not age well. The location of this school is awful. Your student is WAY better off at Valhalla or Steele Canyon. Even a lot of the students who go to Granite Hills prefer Valhalla. Trust me, I've been been to both Valhalla and Granite Hills. The only reason why I chose Granite Hills first is because it was closer to me. Well that was not worth it at all! Go to either Valhalla or Steele, make the right choice.

My daughter attends Granite Hills and is having a wonderful experience. As with any school you have your typical groups of youth who buck the system. My daughter has been in Honors/AP/IB classes so tends to interact with the students who want to be there. She is in her Junior year, but within the first month of her Freshman year a cheerleader decided to harrass her. I called the office and the cheerleader was removed from the squad immediately. The teachers are engaging and truly love what they do. I highly recommend this school!
