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.

Cary Grove has prepared me for the next level of my academic career. Our community is very close knit and supportive of our student body. Parents are very involved in our booster programs and supporting the facility as well. I played in 3 varsity sports during my 4 years, being on teams has provided me valuable lessons in accountability, collaboration and hard work.

It's a fantastic school that includes every one and helps if you're in need. Only thing is that it uses most of its money towards the football team. They offer A lot of extracurricular activities.

The staff at Cary-Grove, in my opinion, is put to a very high standard, and the majority of them reach those standards, often surpassing them. Not only are the teachers passionate abo...

Cary Grove is the worst school I've ever been to. The kids here are stuck up, the teacher are rude, none of the counselers that are suppose to give you advice don't care about you, too much drama, and the list just go on and on.
