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.

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.

With my experience at Grassfield I would say that it is a nice school. The teachers, mostly 12 grade specific teachers, actually care about students futures and making sure they succeed during the school year.

I just transferred to grass field high school my junior year. It has been going okay. There have been some hiccups with the people there having a privilege to be racist to me and I felt that it wasn't okay my first year so I dissolved myself from that friendship. Being colored is what I love but it's also the hard aches of being colored too. The first weeks being at this school has some goodness and stress. The teachers here are amazing and if you have any questions with any work or assignments to I would ask. They are very open about clubs happening because at my old school the clubs were more visible. Personally you could never change a school and a school can't ever be perfect but I don't think I would change anything.

The best part of my Grassfield experience is getting to know honest and helpful teachers. The worst would be the amount of things students are required to pay for. I would like for the school to stop charging so much for certain things.

It's unfortunate how the schools management system has...

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. Almost all of them are understanding and patient, although around half of them gave out quick busy work after a fast slides...
