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.

While I was a student at Granbury High School, the education was good, however, some teachers were horrible to work with. They'd show which students were their favorites and which students they did not really care for. Some teachers do not even know the subject they are teaching. They play a video and expect you to learn that way. Then sports. . . almost every athletic team has favorites. Most of the players on varsity is due to politics within the school district. I knoiw this seems like a blast post, but I'd like to give a shout out to some of the teachers I had while attending GHS. Mrs. Bradshaw, Mrs. Reid, Mrs. Woodyard, Mrs. Robinson, and Ms. Lowrey. All were outstanding teachers.

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.

Granbury High School is the only high school I've attended., but I've throughly enjoyed my years here. For the most part the people here are amazing and sweet. They're always the bad apples. The teachers here care so much it makes me happy to know I've had amazing experiences with them. The school events are so fun and entertaining. This has been the best high school experience in my opinion and knowing it's gonna end when I walk that stage in May breaks my heart, but I feel prepared to walk into the future thanks to GHS.

Granbury High School is a wonderful learning environment. I have seen many school district’s approaches to college readiness and managing discipline, and Granbury has the most effective approach to these two categories. By being so successful in these areas, the school becomes better in every other...
