I have a 9th grade student at Shasta High. The course offerings are amazing. From engineering, medical CTEs, to AP offerings, he almost couldn't decide what to take first. He loves all of his classes and teachers, who are all very supportive, knowledgeable and kind. He has joined sports and many clubs and has made friends immediately (I was worried because he didn't come from one of the normal feeder schools). 3 of his courses are also dual enrollment courses so he is earning college credits as a freshmen. I know people talk about Shasta as having a more diverse demographic, but the school admin is strict and extremely on top of things. Sadly, most of those students don't make it past the first semester anyways. My son feels supported, safe and challenged academically. Fabulous school. Also, check out their school state test scores and AP scores- you'll be amazed at how high performing Shasta is! Top performing school in Shasta County, including over U-Prep!

We moved to Redding 9 years ago. I did extensive research prior to our move on the best school and purchased our home based on that. I've never regretted that decision. My oldest daughter started at Grant in the 3rd grade and is now a senior at Shasta HS. My youngest is now in 4th grade. What I love about Grant is that the staff and teachers really care about the students. The quality of education is beyond reproach and they are consistently making strides to improve. The extra curricular activities your child can participate in will amaze you. Band, choir, musicals, sports, Odyssey of the Mind, just to mention a few. We don't have the bells and whistles of some of the new charter schools being funded by big money, however, Grant has remained on top of the list academically. There is a good reason for that. We have very involved families who also give of their time to the school. We're not talking about one or two families, we have many, many families.
