Bishop Grimes is a very inspiring and family centered school. Learning in a close circle that makes you a better as a person. My high school experience I would never want to change.

Transportation to and from school is a lot because the buses don't come in my area, I either get to school too early or late. Teachers are more helpful when you're immersed in class but notices when a student is struggling. There's a wide range of classes to choose from including AP classes, forensics, physics and many arts to choose from. When it comes to extracurriculars there are many school sports and short clubs such as skiing and rowing.

Principal is useless, staff turnover, no background checks on staff. Previously hired a teacher that left another district due to inappropriateness with students and then came to BG and did the same. Disgraceful.

My son loves BG. The teachers really care about his academic needs and constantly challenge him. The administration accommodates his interests to engage in extracurricular/external activities and provides assistance for him to succeed. Mrs. Brillante has been an excellent principal. We will miss her...
