Academics
Bolsa Grande (which translates from the Spanish as "big pocket" or "big pouch") is geographically related to Bolsa Chica wetlands, and was named after the Bolsa Grande lowlands, which is the larger of the two topographical depressions and is set about five miles inland.
It was recognized as a California Distinguished School. In 2008, the school's API was 770. The following year, 2009, the API increased to 789. In 2010, the API increased again to 797, with the average California High School API being 728. In 2011, Bolsa Grande's API score improved considerably from 797 to 822, the largest gain in the Garden Grove Unified School District for that year.

Bolsa Grande's sports teams are known as the Matadors and compete in the Garden Grove League of the California Interscholastic Federation's Southern Section.
