7/12/2025
My best experiences were the football games, the dance team, playing soccer, and certain teachers who made me feel important. Their advanced placement classes were very helpful and I felt prepared for college once I graduated. The worst experiences were probably certain staff members who didn't care about their jobs and having it reflect onto myself and other students who struggled to learn in their classes.

As a parent of a 2025 graduate, we are appreciative of Torrey Pines high school for its quality STEM curriculum, and top-tier athletic programs.
5/8/2025

Awful. As a military family, I have raised 3 children in 9 different schools across this country - with great success. Torrey Pines High School - administratively - has been a nightmare.The school's administration is unsupportive, unaccommodating and difficult to work with. From the first phone call...
