School review information
Queen Elizabeth Secondary is a school of stark contrasts: a struggling main campus housing a brilliant alternative program. While the general academic metrics (2.6/10) and safety reputation are concerning, the 'Inter-A' program offers a phenomenal, leadership-driven education for those who apply and get accepted. It is a school where your experience depends entirely on which 'stream' you are in.
Editorial review summary
Parent and student reviews paint a picture of a polarized school environment. The 'Inter-A' program is widely praised as a 'hidden gem'—a safe, supportive, and leadership-focused community that operates almost like a private school within the public system. Conversely, the main school is frequently criticized for safety issues, with specific media reports highlighting concerns about bullying and racism. Reviews often mention the 'inner-city' feel, diverse student body, and the resilience required to navigate the general hallways, while simultaneously lauding the dedicated teachers in the specialized programs.
Common positives
- Inter-A Program (Highly regarded leadership/alternative stream)
- Excellent public transit access (near King George Skytrain)
- Rich cultural diversity
- Strong Co-op and Career Education opportunities
- Dedicated staff in specialized programs
Common concerns
- Low academic rating (2.6/10) and declining trend
- Documented concerns regarding safety and bullying
- Reputation for social challenges in the general student body
- Aging facilities compared to newer Surrey schools
- Selective admission for the desirable Inter-A program
Who this school may fit
This school is strongly recommended ONLY if your child is accepted into the Inter-A program, which requires a specific application and interview. For the general stream, families should weigh the convenience of the location against the low academic ratings and safety concerns. It is best suited for resilient, independent students or those seeking strong vocational/trades pathways rather than a traditional competitive academic environment.

The school's performance has shown a concerning downward trend over recent years (dropping from 4.1 to 2.6).
