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.

The best parts about this school is the teachers, they care for the student body and want the best for them. The worst part is the kids and the constant want to do drugs.
4.0 Junior

I like the small size of the school. I like the more "personal" feel because of the small number of students (around 300). One of the benefits I like is that juniors and seniors with all As, Bs, and Cs can leave at 2:30 (after 7th hour) and don't have to attend study hall.

El Paso Gridley has very personable teachers and has a very nice community-based structure. It has given me many opportunities to participate in extracurriculars like cheer, show-choir, and track and field. I have gone to this school my whole life and have had many great friendships with the staff there.

Unless your child has the proper last name, do no let them go to this school. Bullying is rampant, and despite their “dedication to bullying prevention”, nothing is ever done.

Parent of two current EPG students. EPG was a great choice for our family. This district cares about students and their families. The district is definitely on a trajectory of excellence both in the classroom and in raising good citizens.

As a parent who transferred children here, I can compare EPG to another school. There is no comparison in the dedication of many of the teachers here. Ms. Throneburg does a great job leading the school. I am satisfied with our choice to move here from a larger town.
