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.

Groves High school is a whole mix up. Teachers (not all of them) are rude and they want to over speak rather than listen. Coach Wells being my first day at the school decided it would be nice to just yell at a new student. I get it I could've followed the class but I had also seen some other students go the way I was going. I tried to explain to him but him and his big belly decided to get up on my face and yell. And he must have some dimentia or some because he forgot I am no longer enrolled in his class and bro decided to say " You've been skipping my class" like I know teachers can be arrogant but this on another level. I got switched to another teacher (thank god) but for the most part all the staff does is yell and be annoying

Groves isn't as bad as people make it out to be. GHS is a decent environment, as everywhere has its ups and downs. I've enjoyed my time there and I think it'll be really weird once I leave.

I am a recently graduated Grove's student, Class of 2024. To be fair, the school itself was very old and the maintenance wasn't the best because they were building a new school. So if you ignore that, it wasn't that bad.

Here's what your child can expect there:1) Failure of most teachers to carry out an IEP.2) Teacher bullying 3) Zero action from administration or school counselor unless you reach out directly to the school board.4) General inc...

I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!! The staff is absolutely wonderful. The Guidance Department works with parents and students to get them what they need. It's evident that they truly care about those they serve. The office personnel seem happy to be there and happy to help. From what I can see, Groves has a great...

There are times at which Groves can be a little chaotic, but all in all it isn't a terrible school . The teachers really care for their students. The students aren't always the best, but there is no such thing as a perfect school. Unlike some schools, education is the main focus. They aren't constan...

Grove is a horrible choice for sending anyone there.You won't learn much and things get hectic and confusing pretty quick,pertaining to grades and placement and testing. I was told during the summer retakes that i did not have to take the EOCT over even though i failed. I passed the class with a 73....
