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 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!!!

Grafton high school is a fine school to attend. It generally has mediocre sports teams and a solid teaching staff. Sending your kids here would ensure them a solid education, but there are better schools in the surrounding area.

As an alum of GHS (ten years ago), I can say I received a very average education. I can think of two teachers in my four years who prepared me for college and to be a critical thinker. 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...
