GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I really enjoyed groves over my 4 years of being here. The teachers and staff are very respectful and loving.

To me, the best part of Groves is the teachers. They are incredibly supportive, and I always feel safe and cared for with them. The worst part for me is the other students and how they treat me and my classmates. Even when a teacher is notified about a kid, or a group of kids bullying someone, they do everything in their power to stop it, but most of the time it doesn't really stop. But even when bullying occurs, the staff always does their best to stop it, and talk about it in the classroom.

I have a graduating senior and another child who graduated from Groves a few years ago... I wanted to say something about the OUTSTANDING support we have received from their counsellors!! I don't know if we would have made it thru these last 6 years without them. From helping with scheduling, friend...
