While other schools can offer excellence in some areas, few have our breadth, depth and range of support for all students. Over 500 students are involved in the program taking classes in 12 different disciplines. Honors courses are challenging, cover material in greater depth, and serve as an excellent preparation for advanced placement and university level study. The Advanced Placement program at Grant is one of the 12 largest in the state of California, with over 270 students currently involved. Advanced Placement classes allow a student to receive college credit while still in high school.
Most universities actively recruit students involved in the advanced placement programs.
This year Grant students will be taking close to 500 Advanced Placement exams in 16 different disciplines. Grant students score above the national average in most exams. Parents should be responsible for providing an adequate place to study, an encouraging environment, and a watchful eye. Grant High School students last year were accepted to all of the California Universities and State Colleges in addition to Cal Tech, M.I.T., Stanford, Penn State, Harvey Mudd, USC, NYU and Brown, to name only a few. Grant students also do very well in college.
