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.

Grand River Preparatory is what students should go to if they want to go to college. That's because it is their main goal.

This high school is very fun, has a lot of extracurricular to participate, and is very supportive.

All students can excel here if they choose. Koree Woodward has been an excellent leader. Grand River has grown under her leadership....
