My son recently graduated from this school and with honors. The teachers work hard to teach and support their students. For a public school GBHS does better then alot of school in the Sacramento and Elk Grove areas. They offer AP, Baccalaureate Dual enrollment as well as CTE and PLTW classes. They offer many sports and community engagements events,. It feels like a family there, I trust my son is safe when he is at school. No gang or youth violence. The school staff and administration care deeply for their students. GBHS offers over 30 sports and clubs to engage students as well as an awesome special education department. I highly recommend GBHS.

Greenhills is exceptional. I've had kids here for 5 years and loved every minute of it. The tone starting with the principal down to every employee is one of caring and common sense. No politics getting in the way of doing the right thing here. Bullying is strongly discouraged and therefore virtually non-existent. Troublemakers are being dealt with by the principal himself. Parent participation is very welcome. Academics are very strong. The multi-age program is fantastic and with its buddy system builds character. If you're deciding between here and Oakhills, Greenhills is by far the better school, no contest (just ask subs that sub in the entire district and can objectively compare schools). The teachers are better, more motivated and the tone is much less bureaucratic than Oakhills.

My son went through this school. It is was a tough time, but that's how middle school is. We had the most painful experiences, yet after reading these reviews, I can see why. It looks like they were trying to change things up. The truth is everything that I complained about they have been fixed. The two staff members that were questionable are gone. They have a vice principal that works at the elementary school to get to know the kids before the parents are less involved. I think the Principal really cares and this place has some of the best teachers. My son used to after school homework help and that took my B student to all A's! Physical Education every day is great for our kids' health. The music program is full of passion. Additionally, Bayside is nearby, and the middle/high school leaders help out a lot, which is great for the kids. Even though, its not our home church, they were a great source for my growing child. My daughter looks forward to going here and all the new opportunities it presents. After she graduates, I hope to come back here and edit this review to 5 stars. My mistakes and learning tips. First, I did not want my child labeled, which was fine all until you can't be there. So, please if you have a child with any kind of needs, get the help before this point. Also know that we as parents sometimes make it all worse. Middle school is the real world and it's not always full of rainbows. Lastly, most importantly, 90 percent of people who get into this field, do it for the passion of caring and growing young people.

The principal banned the word Ohio for some reason and went into the classroom and said that kids can not say racial slurs which is a problem that never needs to happen and a kid fell of the playground in a 10 foot drop and landed on his back and they did nothing
