I have been involved in many high schools, both professionally and as a parent. By far, Grace Davis is at the top of the list. As a place to work, it has been wonderful under every principal in the past 25+ years! As a school for my children, the education they received was outstanding! Three of four children have completed or are still completing college and graduate school. The fourth is currently a high school senior and planning to attend a UC next year. I can't say enough about the wonderful teachers, counselors, administrators and staff as well as the many fantastic students at GDHS! I wish every student could have thgreat experience my children had in high school!

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
