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.

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.

Grafton schools are fantastic! Competitive sports, including a co-op ice hockey team. Football is the main priority though and cheer (not dance) is often forgotten or overlooked. Some bullying in middle school, which could be resolved with tougher consequences from administration, but high school was much improved. Their teachers are amazing!!!

When I got to college in Chicago, I found myself behind. GHS is great is great if you are an athlete, but if you pa...
