My son felt very welcoming at this school, more than at the school he went to before Granada. Had only good experiences here on all fronts.

I have been to 3 high schools in my life. I have attended Dougherty High, Cal High, and Granada High. There is no school like Granada High. Good size campus, strong sports teams, school spirit is on another level in this school. Great teachers and just overall diverse mix of people. Open campus for seniors only, 2 main exits. The classes they have available here is more than Cal or Dougherty. Trimester base equals less stress and you have a better chance to get the classes you want. Many places to buy lunch in School or Out. A great school i absolutely love it,

Granada has the potential to be a first-class school, but instead is third-rate because of poor administrators, not only at the school, but also at the District office. Instead of setting high expectations and then helping both staff and students to meet or exceed those high expectations, administrators want parents and students to be happy, which means for all students to have good grades, whether or not the grades have been earned. To this end, administration hires teachers on the basis of their popularity, not competence, and rewards teachers who inflate grades, while punishing teachers who give the honest grades that students actually earn. The principal is the chief culprit in this nefarious scheme; she plays favorites among staff, punishing those who won't play her game. She is incompetent and ethically-challenged. She lurches from one crisis to another, when with foresight and planning, she could have avoided the crises altogether. Granada has many teachers who are dedicated professionals and it has a student body which could rise to higher expectations, but Granada will never be a great school as long as it has the administrators it has currently.
