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.

grassfield high school is an amazing school but there is some favoritism with sports, for example, football ball gets praised even after losing but gymnastics gets ignored after winning the whole season

I love the teachers and I feel challenged. The building roof leaks everywhere despite being built in 2008.

Grassfield is a large, comprehensive high school and generally works for kids and families who work it. Some have fantastic experiences and others not so much. I've found it necessary to push my kids to chart their own course and indulge their interests/areas of strength vs. the standard college-bound path. GHS counseling loads are too big to provide meaningful college and career guidance and the typical 'take the hardest classes you can in every subject' guidance doesn't allow much sightseeing at a time when kids should be exploring their options. I like that there are soooo many interesting courses both in core disciplines like math, science, English, music etc. and specialty areas like culinary arts, engineering and pharmacy tech. I don't like that so many of the AP courses require two class periods/terms which limits both the number of AP classes students can take and the number of exploratory courses high-performing students can try but that's a district issue. Overall, B+.

As an example, today (30Aug2024) my wife and I went to pick up our kid's chromebook as stated it can be done between 8AM-4PM. Before we were able to be let in, staff was aware my wife and I, and a few other parents and s...

I have had an overall TERRIBLE experience with Grassfield’s staff and admin team throughout the two years I have attended (I am a Junior this year).The teachers here are great.
