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.

I enjoyed my years at Grain Valley and am sad to see it end in May when I graduate. I definitely hate all the drama associated with school in general.

Grain Valley High School has an amazing staff that educates students in all different ways. There are Advanced Placement classes and dual credit classes for students to get college credit in high school. They all treat students with respect and equality. The staff makes sure all athletes keep up good grades and attendance to participate in sports as well. I would like to see more sports team increase at Grain Valley High School such as lacrosse and powderpuff and see more fundraising go into the sports as much as it does into the academics.

Everybody is so nice. Everyone is very amazing. We are like families. I am certain that one of my best years in life belong in GVHS even if I can live up to 150 years old. Thank you!

I cannot imagine a better high school experience for my children. Their teachers and classes are regularly a positive topic of conversation.
