This School’s Reviews

3.0 Senior

7/5/2024

During my time at Grant Community High School, there are many aspects that worked very well and some that didn't. In my experience, the academics are well taught for the most part. Though, some higher levels classes are not taught with an equally skilled teacher. This made it difficult to stay on top of the material, as it was not taught efficiently.

5/7/2024

It's a good school overall, of course there can be improvements, but Grant does a nice job at trying to get students ready for the future.

Overall good school with great teachers who care. School needs to do a better job of supporting other extra curricular activities other than sports.

As a student I took a total of 4 AP classes with almost all of the rest being an honors class. I see and understand wh...

This is childish and should not be tolerated from grown adults, especially ones that are supposed to be mentors for o...

I had created this as a Google review, but after speaking to another student who shared their experience with the same bully of a teacher giving the middle finger to a person IN the classroom (who was a student at the time), I wanted to reach out more on other platforms.“Some teachers cared, which I...
