Attended a Thanksgiving week Basketball tournament for the second straight year. I was rooting for Bishop Amat High School, which ended up winning the entire tournament, hooray! The gym is a nice gym with minimal seating, as the home and visiting teams' fans all sit on the same side. This makes for very tight seating. Lighting is good, the AC works great, the student workers and volunteers are AMAZING, super welcoming and friendly. Parking is about 200 years away, which is no big deal whatsoever. The girls' basketball team was hosting a fundraiser by selling food and snacks in the small kitchen-like area at the front of the gym. The prices were very affordable, and the young ladies working at this snack shop were charming and friendly. This was a fun experience. read more

Want to say a big F U to all the students counselors and teachers at this shitty school (except Ms Manalang and Mr Gin, probably the only 2 teachers who care at this school). Any school will have bullying it's inevitable, but if you're not part of the cool crowd at this school, it will be a living hell. Not only will the kids bully you, but the teachers will as well. The kids will mentally and physically turn your excitement through their shitty freshmen welcome pep rally, into a living nightmare. Only chance of being saved is joining a sport or one of those stupid wanna be frat/sorority clubs where they make you do homosexual things to get in, and guess what? You can't get in if you're not "cool" enough. What a way to fuck up someone's self esteem if you don't make it in. Not to mention the whole school will know you're a reject and well, say goodbye to any enjoyment for the rest of your HS career. I transferred mid senior year and I want to say best fucking decision of my life. I actually had a blast at Diamond Bar HS. It actually felt like a supportive school and the people there were alright, but wayyyyy better than SGHS. You know that 2nd hand embarrassment when you don't want to identify as American in a foreign country? That's how I feel when people ask what HS I went to, I just tell them DBHS. The counselors could give two shits if you go to a college or not. I will miss nothing at this school. read more

On 9/2/2021, I went to a football game at San Gabriel High School. I've been there many times before. Parking was free, entry was $7.00 and there were no programs. Plus, I took photos. read more

ROFL ROFL ROFL we can rate schools?! this is a first for me -Some of the narcs are very unfair....... -The school is pretty huge, but it won't seem so big if you take a tour. -There are some secluded areas which almost always give you a vibe that there is a presence of a spirit. SCARY RIGHT?!?!!! -OH, there's like, 80% asians while half of the minorities are asian washed ROFL they can catch up on sword art online than i can xD -A wide variety of AP/Honors classes, I can tell because some of my friends have GPAs over 4.0.... -API scores are improving almost every year. -FACTORY TEA BAR DOWN THE STREET :D Adding those together, great environment for school. -1 star for being located in the ghetto with some gangs. read more

MATADOR ALUMNI! GO MATADORS! Couldn't say everyday was great, but its been a while, so I forget the negative experience and just learn to move on and support the school that made me who I am today. read more

Crappy school.....I graduated back in 2011. ALOT of really bad sht happened to me. -A fellow male classmate molested me in the bathroom, telling me to take off my pants, and when I refused, forcibly trying to do so. (I am a guy. I did not report it because if I did, I know for a fact that I would've ruined his high school life and I pitied him.) -Ms. Vergo (school counselor) gave me misinformation which led to me making bad decisions that ultimately ruined my chances of getting into UCR/UCI schools. -Mr Kanow (my chem honors &ap physics teacher) ,among other teachers, basically treated me like some idiot. When they saw that I wasn't doing well in the classes, their behavior towards me became more negative. As instructors, they could've approached me and asked what was wrong or if I needed help on anything but they did not do anything of the sort. -Specifically, Mr. Kanow would threaten me sometimes by saying "can I hit you?" whenever i asked or said something that was "stupid" according to his standards. Also, I remember distinctly in AP physics that I politely asked him to sign my marching band field trip to disneyland (we were going to perform there) and he got angry at me and said "you realy dont deserve to go. You should be studying and improving your grade. Don't blame me if you end up failing." and I had a C in that class. I got a C on the previous exam and he treated me like an idiot. - I got my heart broken by my first true love, Cindy, when I found out she was dating Michael in junior year (was going to ask her on a date but clearly, I was too late) leading to a whole mess of me constantly thinking about her in junior year and I ignored her for the entirety of junior year, which made her sad. I ended up apologizing in senior year but I clearly tell that she wasn't going to forgive me. I met her and sat next to her in AP world history in sophmore year and like an idiot, I fell in love with her because she was pretty, laughed at my corny jokes, and said "i love you" (she meant it as a friendly gesture but i took it the wrong way). - was bullied by Tony in marching band who kept hitting me and berating me just because I dropped my tenor saxophone accidentally and I came to the Camarillo parade late (I made mistakes but he had no right to do that to me). Complete asshole. -I generally felt ostracized from everyone because no one really wanted to hang out with me. I think people found me annoying mainly because I had this tendency to make corny jokes. I actually spent majority of my lunch time alone hiding in one of the practice rooms of the band room and joined some clubs. Actually in senior year, I didn't have class after lunch period so I just left school once lunch time started. I believe thats when I started turning introverted. I was this very positive guy who would come up with these bad, corny jokes to cheer other people up because I wanted to be liked by everyone. Instead, I felt like a nuisance and it didnt seem like anyone really wanted to hang out with me..........even my so-called best friend, Michael (different from the guy dating Cindy), wanted to hang out with other people and I was just a convenient buddy he hang out with so he wouldn't have to be alone during marching band events. He used to bully me in junior high school and it literally took both other fellow classmates scolding him and me mustering up courage to scold him myself that he then stopped bullying me and we somehow became friends (my other friends scolded me for hanging out with him because they knew how badly he treated me). In senior year, I approached almost every classmate and apologized to them by saying "Hey, I want to apologize if I ever did or say anything mean to you" because I wanted to clear any bad blood and try to end high school on a positive note. I'm not a bad guy but i remember there were times where I made a small remark or had a negative attitude towards someone so I wanted to get that off my guilty conscience before high school ended. This is all I can remember for now. So, I threw behind my past after graduation because i hated san gabriel high school and everyone there and my gut was telling me that if I didn't do that, I'd be tethered to those crappy experiences and not be able to move forward. I am glad that all this drama and bad things happened the past couple of years to SGHS. The school put me in a very bad spot after high school and obviously, it traumatized me. Luckily, I was able to pick up the pieces and make something of the mess. This essay was very therapeutic for me so yeah, I recommend going to Rosemead HS! Its ranked top of the nation! Do not go to SGHS unless you want your kids to have a bad experience! Keep in mind that not everyone experiences high school the same way! If an alumni says to you "SGHS is amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there!", someone else had to suffer and experience bad things in order for that to happen. read more

Haha, just came here for a breakfast fundraiser for band, really nice people I suppose.

I had a great time. Thanks Mrs Mar, Mr Myers, Mr Gin, Mr. B, Señor Garcia and Mrs C. It has been my pleasure with my senior year and thanks to Brenden, Wendy, and Bobby. idk what I'm doing but I'm just going to leave this review here. LOL and if you're just starting SGHS, I highly recommend to join as many clubs as you can, and also long live the sghs swim legacy. -Mickey Estrada a.k.a TakeiteZZ P.S. AP stats was my best memory here as my Senior year. read more

My experience with San Gabriel High School was an amazing experience even though there were people picking on me I still made it the teachers are the best only downfall is the cafeteria food they served but other than that I had amazing teachers who helped me get to where I am today because of SG I was accepted into ELAC and PCC I get along with the staff and my teachers as well besides I was one of the students who took the classwork seriously I'll never forget the teachers and classes read more

The entire school is very new, The cafeteria is very good design and line is much shorter due to more line separate. All the facilities is new build from ground up. read more

San Gabriel High is considered the 2nd biggest school in the U.S, I think. I, myself attend this school today. Graduating Class of 2015. :) The school is good. The teachers are nice. And of course, some of the people are really kind and respectful. The school can make a bit of changes on the buildings because they're too old & chipping off. read more

I agree with Mimi D. I hated this school. Horrible experience. Nothing but a bunch of stuck up girls. And horrible teachers that make you feel so stupid when you couldn't get things right. For example, ( I forgot her name) She was the only black teacher that spoke spanish. Gave me a hard time. Excuse me for not comprehending as quickly as the others. I ended up ditching and eventually dropping the class. That damn teacher would make fun of me in front of the whole class when I asked a question. For some reason, the kids here act like they're kids of celebrities. For four years it was like I was living on set of "Mean Girls." They wouldn't let me transfer and I did poorly. Oh gosh. And the asian girls. Forget about a guy liking you. As soon as one asian girl found out (supposedly my friend) kicked me in the shin and sent my picture to random guys on the net. And because I quit one of the sports team, the coach told the principal on me and made me take a letter home for my parents to sign for being disruptive to school. I never had them sign it and never even brought the paperwork back. They didn't even ask about it. Shows how unorganized they are. Truth be told, the coach was perverted. He snapped my bra strap and I didn't want to create any more problems so I quit. Overall, I would NEVER ever step foot on the grounds of this campus again. Screw you SGHS!!! read more

Got bused there in the 70s. Wasn't until much later that I realized I was a victim of tracking (I wondered why I had the same classes with all the same people) - I was given classes according to my zip code, not by my academic ability. Plenty of white vs brown tension. This place marked the beginning of my discontent with KKKalifornia. read more
