I was a straight-A student at this school for over two years and completed things on time. When I…read morewas finally done with the graduation ceremony to receive my diploma after, I was told I owed the school for items including books, a computer, and a charger, with charges totaling around $450. The problem is that I returned the items in question and all scanned on my account at the time. Instead of getting my diploma when I went to the school, the school reduced the amount they claimed I owed from $450 to $100, which only increased my concern that it's completely inaccurate. As a student who worked hard academically it was extremely disappointing to have my diploma withheld over charges that I believe were based on incorrect records. I would encourage the school to improve its checking skills and give proper assistance through incorrect processing.

All is good here, your kids will be in good hands, they genuinly care, which is hard to find these days.

These people must not be important at home that they feel the need to mistreat the community while trying to enroll students so they can feel that have some type of authority in their life.

I didn't enter into the building, but the parking lot was huge and I got a chance to walk around under solar panel parking covers so tons of shade LOL. As I was walking around, I found a total of $2.24 in change in the parking lot. Great find! Bought myself some tacos with the money while I was waiting. Thank you GHHS! The staff who was greeting the students was very nice. I'm sure this school is a good school overall.

They don't fix absences that are there mess ups. Teachers don't get back to you about anything when you do call attendance office. You'll never get a call back. You can't speak to a principal because you'll be told that they're always busy or out, so that's impossible. This school is worse than the schools down the hill

My daughter went here since it was an available and local standardized testing location. We went…read morethe day before the test (Friday) to familiarize ourselves with the grounds and ensure she knew where to go on testing day. The staff were so cute and friendly. Some of them were dressed up for the holidays in movie character costumes. The front office was decorated and the atmosphere was so cheery. There were other students and parents waiting in the small space near the front office desk. On the day of the test (Saturday)- The school has a large parking lot but it is shared with Victor Valley College (VVC). We weren't sure if we needed parking passes so I purchased a $3 pass for the day at one of the VVC ticket machines. The school appears to offer transportation to students as we saw several buses on the Friday we went. We also saw what appeared to be armed security guards wearing black. It's understandable with the recent school shootings in America. Overall, my daughter said her test taking experience was very good. She was able to find an outlet in the classroom she went to and plug in her laptop. Were very blessed and grateful to have had this school as a location for the test. Thanks Excelsior!!!

Don't work. I've seen people smuggle in knifes and air-soft guns STILL with those time consuming metal detectors. The school its self is very ghetto and I would really not send your kid here. The teaching curriculum is that of one that was simply taken from online and there's no creativity or hands-on learning experiences. They fire most of the school counselors especially if a student is bonding with them in a healthy way, and they do not know how to handle a crisis such as a school shooting, or a threat of.

Never in my life have I had a supposed educator just turn their back on me and walk away while I was asking a question. Plus never seen a principal while a school is on lock down because of a man sighted with a gun outside their campus, open up the campus and let people in and out or hand her keys off to a individual to relock a gate that she opened up on said lock down. While over 20 police are patrolling. Then when this is brought up we receive a letter from her for excess excused absences for a child that has a medical condition. When this letter is brought to the superintendent attention it was some how sent out in error to us. This school does not do the pledge of allegiance. Nor do they have time to teach about the founding fathers but the can hold a day long event for Gloria Estefan.

Starting with the principal, Mr. Cranston & all the way down to the janitor (who I've also met). They're all very pleasant to be around, they KNOW what they're doing and he key... they LOVE what they do! They're not there just to collect a paycheck.
