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.

Granbury Highschool or GHS had been a great school for the two years ive been there. Most teachers actually care about how you're doing and where you end up in life. The acedemics are great to as well as choosing a career path. GHS has a plan and an oppurtinty for everyone to succeed.

In my short year of high school at this facility, as an incoming sophomore, I have seen more fights and people getting searched than I have on television. while I have loved my teachers I have heard bad things about others. The bathrooms aren't the cleanest and I would prefer to go somewhere else. but they aren't the worst I've seen. the administrative isn't the best. they are rude and strict, but they did lax the dress code a bit.

Personally, I have had a good experience with Granbury High School. I understand that many haven't because high school differs from person to person, but the culture behind choir and my activities, I wouldn't trade it for the world. If the food is the worst part of a school, I think that school is standing pretty well.
