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.

Grafton is a very strong high school all around. Many people end up heading off to college and get into good universities all over the country. Although a small high school the community is strong and the teachers love what they do along with the administration.

Overall, Grafton High School felt like a safe space and helped me be prepared for college. There was good diversity and everyone treated each other nicely including the teachers who were a big help with our education.

GHS pre-covid had a culture that fostered individualism, however, like many schools across the country, GHS is struggling to support students in the after-math of the pandemic. I was victim of someone who is mentally ill and didn't have the proper support to protect the general population of students at school. I would like to see programs and small groups put in place to allow kids to talk about their realities and creative adminstration to put supports in place that keep students safe.

Incredible middle and high school. I can see that another parent that left a review that doesn't want to see a school culture that enables all students to come to school and do their best work, but Grafton Highschool truly does have amazing character as a whole. 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...
