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.

I did let really enough my whole high school life, I felt like it could've been better. Not only was the administration bad some of the teachers were too and I feel like there was only a little bit of teachers that really cared about the students

Well its my 9th grade year here so I'm still a freshman, but so far I '' actually '' like school. Not to also mention the volleyball, football, basketball teams are very active aswell. The lunch is okay, but I RARELY eat lunch because I have my own lunch everytime.

My school has administrative staff that are very supportive, patient, involved, helpful, and guiding when it comes to helping students with grades. My counselor helped me plan on graduating a year early. My teachers always helped me stay on my grades, which helped me get straight A's and even honor roll the past year I have been attending the school. I really appreciate that the staff at my school listens to the students when they need help.

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....
