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.

My son was suspended from school today because he found a weed vape pen inside the boys, bathroom…read moreput it away. Then he threw it into the trashcan. He was seen by either campus security, or the school police that are on campus. Throwing it into the trashcan. The person that caught him, approached him and ask him what he was throwing away he told him he was asked if it was his he clearly said no he told him where he found it. And the gentleman that approached him, started being sarcastic with him. Telling him that he's going to give them a breathalyzer test. My son has nothing to hide. He does smoke marijuana. He told him he's willing to take a test of any kind since he's a school campus officer he's offering to test my son, my son was willing they never tested him Because my son was doing the right thing by finding Ness and disposing of it but there's other ways to look at it to yeah he should've turned it into somebody but he was just worried about getting to class because he don't wanna be late to class because he a lot of the football players that play for Granite Hills, High, School Coaches told them no more being late to class. No more acting a goofball in classes make sure all your work and homework is done or there's gonna be consequences if they don't follow by those rules. He's just doing with the coaches told their football team following the rules. So, by my son, doing the right thing, finding something disposing of it so nobody else would find it and not thinking and using it, not knowing if there's anything bad inside of it, that could harm another student because he was thinking about the safety of other students that go to the same high school he does, he got suspended because he had that stupid pen that he found in the bathroom and threw it into the trashcan knowing the school has cameras all over that campus. I know I see them every day after work when he has football practice if they're still practicing, I go straight from work straight to his school and sit there and watch the football practice , I walked on the campus to use the restrooms in the far back of the school right there by the bungalows. I see all the cameras I've been on the campus with my son going through two things that the school has for his football team I see all the cameras all over the campus , they were saying when he came out of the bathroom, it was smoky in the bathroom when he walked into the bathroom it was already smoky how come they don't go back and seen who walked into that bathroom before him on their cameras and who walked out of that bathroom when it was smoky Before he walked in there instead of jumping to conclusions and falsely accusing my son, knowing that officer even stated that he was going to give them a test, but didn't fall through with it knowing my son agreed so he got suspended for it for the day and has two days of intervention Because of being falsely accused and having to miss the football 797 game that he was supposed to go to today down at Yucaipa Valley high school school district already been notified and I'm filing a complaint about the incident so be prepared and it clearly states about him trying to throw it into the trashcan and probaron observed him doing so

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.

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. School business is well organized, I love he fact that there's only 1 way in & 1 way out into the school during business hours, and that's THROUGH their main office. My son's teacher is the sweetest person! My son wakes up in the morning WANTING to go to school and learn. So far, zero complaints and I have yet to encounter any type of negativity.

When I had questions they were answered with kindness and everyone has a great attitude. The special education department is really good. It is amazing to see how the students and staff treat the kids who have disabilities. I've been to a lot of schools where the special education students are shunned to a corner of the school. Here the kids all eat together in the same area and are well received. On the physical education fields the kids all get along well. Middle school is a hard age for kids and it is nice to see a clean campus where everyone seems friendly. I was walking out of the gate and some of the students asked if I needed help because my hands looked full. It was nice to see the respect.

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.

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!!!
