I think Granada High is an alright school. It could be better and it could be worse. It is very safe, however they do not allow ambitious students to get ahead in courses, meaning if you are say taking geometry you are not allowed to take Alg II over the summer unless you really fight for it, and even

Granada was a middle of the road high school. If you want to graduate it's great. The honors english program is really good (excepting freshman honors in 2000) But the res tof the programs are terrible. Mr Scheffler is a great teacher. If you take any math/ science class by him you will learn things.

I have a freshman at Granada who does pretty good in class, but even she says she can't think of anything really good about this school except for the dance team. The schedules are inconvenient, the lunch facilities are inadequate for the size of the student body, plus there's too muchjunk food, and

All this leads to unsafe conditions before and after school. I could add more but my daughter says thats enough. Anyway, be warned. Read less

Decent academic possibilities, available, but unenjoyable, music program, minimal art program, good selection of sports, but coachs often unenthused. Minimal parental involvement.

For the first time since grammer school I feel the school cares about my son's learning. The result is he is learning and the STAR scores reflect this too. I felt I was at war with Mendenhall Junior HS in trying to get simple accomadations for my son and that they had pigeon holed me as 'enabling'
