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 High has many well educated and amazing teachers and I have no complaints about the school other than for the students repetitive outbursts. Many students have not quite matured and that is no fault to the school itself.

Grafton High School located in Taylor County, West Virginia. Is a community ran school, when you attend the school you become part of a family. We look after one another and teachers and select students are always willing to help anyone in need. GHS has opened many educational opportunities for everyone.
