Average school overall, including academically. It's not a bad school - but it's not a great school. It doesn't stand out. They're great at marketing themselves to SEEM fantastic, but they're really just average. Just another regular school - nothing special.

I have a student currently attending Steele and I am very disappointing. This school is pathetic academically and unimpressive in every other facet.

I have two students, soon to be three at Steele. My two are thriving at Steele academically, they both participate in sports/team opportunities like track, swim, cheer and football. They love it!!!Steele Canyon has been a positive educational experience for us and I couldn't be happier!!!

The thing we noticed the first time we ever walked into the school was how friendly the students are and how happy they are to be there. Great programs and great kids!

Steele Canyon, or as I like to call it, the definition of Heaven. A place where your child can be himself no matter what.

Over-bearing administration prevents faculty from achieving the success they are capable of. Principal is heavy handed and runs roughshod over the expressed desires of the faculty. Results in a high turn-over in APs.

Altogether the school is great, but lately I've noticed a horrible lack in leadership and the overall family vibe is dwindling down to practically nothing. That being said the school still offers a top notch learning environment and helpful teachers and counselors. Personally I think if the leadership shifted the school would flourish has it did when I went there. I only wish for the best for my former high school. Honestly had the best years there.

I'm a parent and have heard a lot of other parents in the community talking about how bad the new principal is. There is virtually no leadership. The teachers are always friendly and helpful, though, so hopefully they will get a new principal soon!

Honestly i think this school is very bad and students dont learn so much and its a charter school. My sister went and then she went to college she didnt know anything if i would pick any high school it would be valhalla 5 stars for there school!!Kids are very bad there and teachers dont care what they do.

I'm a senior standing, and i've been here for four years, all i can say is if you live in san diego and you want your child to get a good education, choose steele canyon high school, you will not regret it.
