We remain very concerned about the alcohol and drugs on campus.This middle school is much too close to Rocklin and Victory High Schools in our opinion. So many situations where our middle schoolers are lured over to the High Schools for unsafe activities.

My adopted daughter has struggled every step of the way.They refuse to provide her an IEP though she has a tipple diagnosis and is on numerous medications.Instead they want her to attend detention and Friday school.The punitive approach is simply fueling her frustration and she is getting further behind.I have learned there are others here with a similar issue.Why is it so hard to get Special Education services?

We have been here several weeks now and it is a very refreshing change from the previous middle school.Staff are creative and we like that! Campus is also clean which is nice.

Majority of the teachers at this school are helpful. Sometimes the students are the problem. But I’m quite disappointed with how the school handled the bullying situation.

Excellent experience. I feel supported, equipped, and challenged. I enjoy going to this school.

Even though I'm sure no one's middle school experience is supposed to be super amazing, and I wish I could say mine was, but I didn't have the best of years. My problem here isn't with the staff, the teachers and counselors are amazing, and clearly know what they are doing, however my big problem is with the students. I made no new friends until the second semester, the kids are always in cliques. And you could say I'm the problem, but it has never taken me that long to befriend someone new. I dealt with bullying as well this year, despite the school trying their best to handle it. The seemingly light bullying has put me in a point a few times before where I feel sick to my stomach thinking about going to school. The teachers need to learn the difference between joking and just plain rude. If you plan to send your child here, I'd recommend it; as said, there is a greats staff! Just warn your kids about bullying, and how to deal with it, I would give anything If I knew how to do so. Best of luck to you future students.

It has all any child may need to learn for a better future the teachers and principals are very professional. They offer so much and the majority of the children look happy .

Granite Oaks is a wonderful school with a balance between academics and extra-curricular activities. The students, families, and teachers are awesome. Best school ever!

Awesome school! We came to Rocklin specifically for the schools, and we are very happy we did! Great support and communication with teachers. My daughter is in the 7th grade, and has struggled with her grades, but each year they get a little better, I attribute that to her maturing as well, but she loves her teachers because they care and do such a great job! Thanks.

My son transferred mid-year in 8th grade to Granite Oaks Middle School. Like the other parent, I was impressed with how well they buddied him up with other kids on the first day, he is still friends with these kids. In sports there was some problem with exclusion but that was the coaches fault because winning was more important than teaching them the importance of a team. Lot's of the kids grew up together but he still felt like he knew a lot of people by the end of the year. Only issue I had is with a Math teacher that claimed to want to help but in fact did not. She alone made the year a challenge in other ways. The principal should really look at average grades for a teacher and dig deeper on teaching principals and attitude. Otherwise he was well prepared when he finished to start High School and had no apprehension about what it was going to be like.

I love this school. So much. I just graduated and am going to Rocklin High. I was in Key and then Quest Academy, and both had great teachers (except for a certain awful female math teacher who shall remain nameless but I had to have two years in a row because our eighth grade math teacher was arrested.). I loved how the campus was laid out. I'm really going to miss the school. All of my best friends from there are going to Whitney High. But, back to the school. It's fabulous. Send your kids here. Really.

I to feel compelled to offer an alternate view of the mid-year transfer experience at Granite Oaks. We transferred my son into Granite Oaks mid-year after moving from the east coast. The school arranged to have another student show him around and act as a buddy for the first few days to ensure he didn't get swallowed up in the crowd. It was a great experience. My son is not the type to be in cliques so if this was a problem here, we would have experienced it. Every kid is different so maybe the child of the parent below had a different experience, but....I'm pretty sure it wasn't because of the school.
