The teachers here that I have met are all nice and dedicated people, but the one thing I am surprised about is how the students dress. When I was in high school we got in trouble for shorts being too short and spaghetti-strap shirts, but so many kids I see here are wearing literally as little clothing as possible LOL. Overall though I feel the students get a pretty good public education. Even the class sizes for special ed are bigger than other schools though.

In this school they ask my pronouns I'm not in to that gay stuff. I wrote man and got points off, I'm not happy with that. I am leader of the football team like generations of my family has been. I have had many bad stories of the locker room. But this is the worst I walk in after hard practice sweaty and smelly. I was not ok with this as my girlfriend likes me smelling like an alpha male (I am one) I walk it to the showers witch are always full of naked men. I walk over to one of the showers in the corner to see two men making out. I throw up in my mouth and spit it out after closing the stall door. I go over to one of the sinks and wash out the room. I go over to the janitors closet and pull out bleach pouring it in my eyes and mouth. I walk back to one of the stalls and open the door. What stood behind that door roped the ungodly sin I had seen just before... A big pile of shit was scatter all around but mostly by the drain. It looked like someone tried shoving it down. I turned to leave. I walked to my locker excepting that I was not going to have a shower. I put on my pants leaving my shirt and began leaving when I saw one of the cheerleaders (they let boys and girls on the team) He was walking In to the locker and headed over to one of the many lockers. I stayed behind to watch him change. He pulled off his shirt I saw his pale frail body. I couldn't pull my eyes off his body. The way his hair laid just above his eyes. I felt myself drawn to him. I walked over to him. I was painful obviously towering over him. He looked at me before looking down at my chest. I grabbed his chin pulling his head up to we were face to face. You look so beautiful. I lend in for a kiss which he reciprocated we locked lips and only pulled away when we were out of breath. I pushed him against the locker and we were hard making out. We stopped after 10 minutes when the bell rang Signaling that school had ended. I invited him to lunch at the nearby habitat and we went. I ditched my girlfriend and broke up with her over text that night. Me and my boyfriend have been together for 3 months and love each other a lot.

Then, I read the BLOG and the first of the two blog entries, talks about being a strict vs "mean" teacher, then goes on to say, "Jesus wanted the disciples to know the truth well enough to express it with their own words and deeds. Imagine a million ways to say the same thing so that a million people could know one truth. 40 authors in 66 books of the Bible all pronouncing, 'Chose life.'" YIPES! At least I found out that it has a religious agenda before placing my child here. I sure wish they'd say, right on their front page, that they have a religious bias. I would rather my child receive a well-rounded education, not one based on a bible.

My son was diagnosed with ADHD and with medication he went from needing a tutor to being a tutor at CSUSM. It's a disservice to students to not tell parents to get testing and talk to a school psychologist about problems like bullying in school which also occurred at Grauer and affected his performance. Lack of motivation is associated with ADHD and also the severe bullying that was occurring off campus when he was biking to school. A psychologist would have been able to deal with these issues.

Head Master and Founder of school Dr Stuart Grauer, is recognized nationally as sincere and thoughtful leader of the small school movement. Get his book her https://www.amazon.com/Fearless-Teaching-Collected-Stuart-Grauer/dp/0986016004 Dr. Grauer is a strong proponent of Socratic learning, and that philosophy is embraced by some, but not all faculty. Dr Grauer is a believer in experiential learning, and twice a year sends students on excellent national and international expeditions of learning and service! He also strongly believes in giving his students a stage to both preform on musically (amazing program, led by amazing instructors) , and one to pontificate on via a once a year special event for parents and grandparents put on by the Girl Rising club called Grauer Speaks. In past years it has been a night of student, and sometimes faculty monologues exploring a wide variety of social problems; from from LBGTQ issues, to women's rights, and the "Rape Culture in America" to name a few that I witnessed. It is often an intense night of student involvement and activism. My daughter excelled while at Grauer, and is now attending a prestigious women's College in western Massachusetts and thriving in the liberal arts program. Bottom line, Grauer School has an excellent college preparatory program , led by a thoughtful and principled leader. Grauer School embraces the gamut of todays enlightened curriculum. Highly recommend!

The administration here, as well as the non colored students, antagonize the colored students and their parents. They are completely one sided and unfair. It was one of my biggest mistakes sending my child to this high school. From the horrible drop offs, rude parents and admin, to the education, even the security sucks here. Students shouldn't get harassed and bullied and then suspended because of the staffs one sided investigations. Students should not be able to roam the hallways or ditch school because staff and security fail to do their jobs. Students should not have their record messed up because the attendance office and teachers fail and misplace students!! ALL CHILDREN DESERVE THE RIGHT TO A FAIR AND COMPLETE EDUCATION, NO MATTER THIER SKIN COLOR!!! All students should have the right to a FAIR "investigation" when being harassed and bullied, no matter their skin color!!! All students should have fair time playing sports and being able to showcase their talents!! All students deserve an equal education!!! My daughter is attending a way better school with much nicer students and staff and I would recommend everyone to really ask their child about their education, peers, and teachers/ staff members and see if they are really happy here.
