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.

It was a decent experience, some of the teachers are great, others are not. Pretty safe. Very sports focused. Low diversity

Attending Grafton High School was an overall a great experience. While all things have their faults and not everything was perfect, I really enjoyed my time at GHS.

I liked how there were many opportunities to take different classes to see what I was interested in. There is a variety of studies and the teachers are very helpful. I play sports (field hockey) and the coaches were amazing, the school has a great, friendly atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.

Also I'm unsure how the Great School...

Not too happy with the school at this time. The attitude is very punitive if parents contact administrators with concerns about a child. There are a ridiculous number of “half days”.We can’t even be in school full time, and, looking at my daughter’s curriculum, there seems to be a lot of emphasis on...
