My daughter went to Garden Grove High School, and she had a great experience. Even though Math was not her favorite subject and struggled with it throughout high school, she was always encouraged to do better by her teachers and was reminded that help was always there. The counselors were awesome and so was the principal and faculty. My daughter graduated in 2017 and her class was one of the schools largest graduating classes they have had. Some of the classmates got accepted to Yale, Standford, other great Universities. One thing I really appreciated was the calls from the office whenever my daughter was absent, I know she was not at school but glad to know they also were keeping tabs on their students.

If I had the option to give zero stars, I would. This is actually me being very calm about writing this review. Although most of the teachers are amazing and deserve the best of all rewards, the new Vice Administrators have caused havoc to the school. They even set up the rule of requiring your ID for bathroom breaks. The old Vice Administrators were the best of them all. It is a shame that they have been forced to move to a different school. Now, the current ones are very little experienced and take every single personally with no sense of cooperation with anyone. If they are going to be strict on rules, they should enforce the little ones rather than focusing on small cases since they have no danger to the school or its students. If I were a parent, I would never send my future child to this school. This is due to the current Vice Administrators not being up to standards. They are not willing to cooperate and resolve situations. Instead, they would try to stamp on them and instead add fuel to the fire.

Garden Grove HS. look at years the comments were written and the substance of the reports nothing specific on the eatlier years. All the Rah Rah is great , but we are talking about academics, students and teachers . Hopefully tenure rules will change and a better grade of teachers will replace those teachers at GG HS and other schools who are just there for a pay check...

I have had three children go through the Garden Grove High. I was disappointed every time with some of the teaching staff. Hearing my children talk about teachers on their cell phones during class, or learning more about the teachers personal lives then the actual subject. While each of my kids graduated I don't feel they were challenged enough. The AVID program was not worth my child's time.

The math department really needs to change their teachers around. So many students fail to pass their mathematics course. Also, their ASB really needs to be more diverse. It is based on popularity that these students are chosen to be within the group.
