"Garfield high School is a gem in its downtown area. The's school's genuine interest in its students is highly recommendable. They have a variety of programs that could fit any student's needs. They collaborate with San Diego City College which provides for a unique academic atmosphere and beneficial connections. Moreover, they have an ORACLE program, an independent study program that let's students enrolled work at a pace they're comfortable with. Many students are able to accelerate and graduate early through the program. The principal I knew, Ms. Joan Zeno, has retired, but I have been told that the new principal, Ms. Pickett, is an excellent addition to the faculty. You should seriously consider Garfield High School!"

"I love Garfield! I went to this school because I got pregnant when I was young, and they really helped a lot! They have a Pregnant Minor Program (PMP), and the teachers there are really great very understanding, and helpful. If I found out about this school earlier, and knew what it felt like to be at Garfield, I would've switched right away. This school also gave me a chance to finish one year early because the teachers believed in me and knew that I could do it. It also gave me a chance to spend more time with my son while doing homework at the same time. I'd recommend this school to anyone who needs to catch up, are pregnant, everybody! Thanks Garfield!"
