However, of the 48 eighth graders from Tubman's promoting class of 2020, 27% are attending Crawford High School, 20% Helix High School and 14% Grossmont High School. These are the top 3 schools that our students frequently attend.
***Note***
Students from Tubman are NOT required to enroll at these schools, they just happened to be the most popular picks for our students based on proximity to their houses and the programs offered. Parents and students are still highly ENCOURAGED to research schools not only within their neighborhood, but outside of their neighborhood as well to see what school would be a good fit for their student.
Every high school is unique and offers different courses, programs, sports and clubs. It is recommended for students and parents to take the time and gather as much information as possible on high schools they are interested in before applying.
