I would like to see more clubs, opportunities, less focus on sports so other extracurriculars could flourish, and more effort from administration to make these changes happen. The place had many flaws when I attended, but there are a few good teachers there that I'll never forget.

At Grant County High School, Freshman year was hard due to Covid-19 still being around it was difficult to get a good routine. Thankfully, The rest of my high School career so far has been smooth, but my teachers have not been the most devoted to their students. Grant County High School has provided opportunities for juniors and seniors to take duel credit classes to get their general education prerequisites.

Grant County suffers from the same small town apeal that one typically thinks of. You regonise almost all of the teachers or students with a cozy feel. However there is little long term investment into the school as it burns through good teachers which it does a good job at finding. There are some senior staff memebers who are some of the best people in the world while others kind of ruin the experiences. The education is very average as I feel ready for college and am satisfied.

There was a lot of prejudice not just from the students but from teachers as well. Favoritism was a real obstacle to get by if you needed any extra help from certain teachers. They don't care about the arts programs. Guidance counselors weren't worth anything when it came to actually helping you do...

This is far and away the worst school I've worked at. The students are passed along without doing the required coursework. Discipline is horrible. They had 40+ fights last year and that was an improvement. If you're not buddy buddy with the admin look out. If you have any other place to send your ch...
