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.

Let me start with the worst then work my way up to the best. The worst experience I had in my school is probably the food. One time I was convince that I got sick because of it. But that's only some days, once in a blue moon. The best experience I've had in my school is 100% playing football. I made so many friends and family playing football. I've learned more about life playing football than I have during school. It was for sure the best thing I've been a part of during my 4 years of high school. I will always keep the memories I've made playing football in my heart.

My experience at GCHS has been very good because all the teachers were very nice and helpful. The students were nice, and I made many friends.

I love Grundy. They are all about School spirit and academics of course. Some teachers are kind of strict but most aren't that bad But they still follow the rules.

Check the test scores. Consistently BELOW average in every category, year after year. I graduated from this school with highest honors, and performed dismally in math and science in college. I had a few stand-out teachers during my time at GCHS, and they did a fantastic job with their subject matter...

Where is this system's website? Says a lot about their communication abilities. Community and parents have a right to know what is going on. In the age of technology there is no excuse for having no website.
