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.

Grandview is an above-average school. With friendly and understanding staff. Although the students make the Grandview experience not very enjoyable as there is a constant safety concern. However, I feel the school is trying its hardest to provide a safe and welcoming environment for its students. I have had an exceptional experience as I have seen Grandview's ins and outs, but even though we may be good in every other aspect. We struggle to ensure students avoid drama.

It's a really good school. People rag on it a lot but when I went 2013-2017, it was fine. We got Macs my freshman year and I don't think any schools really had one-to-one at that point and even now, a lot of schools don't have Macs and instead have something cheaper. There were fights but all schools have fights. Not a ton of bullying at all and the teachers were cool and really helped the students. There's always room for improvement but GHS was really fun and it produced a ton of adults who are very motivated in life and are doing well after high school.

It was a great experience. I made a lot of friends and I learn many different cultures. I felt so connected at that school. Everything about it was a fun experience and a learning one too. I recommend that school to everyone.

As someone who has gone through Grandview Middle and High School, I will tell you that I was not prepared for college after graduating from here. I was in all of the advanced classes, took college credit courses and I thought I was ready. However, I had not developed any study skills or had my futur...

I have had my 3 children graduate from Grandview in the last 5 years. These teachers are amazing and love the kids. My oldest just graduated with an engineering degree, my second is attending college for physics and my 3rd is attending community college with the A+ program. All three did great and h...

Poor. I taught here for 6 years and left this year due to feeling stressed and overwhelmed by non-essential, non-teaching tasks and weary from 60-70 hour work weeks. Teachers feel constantly undermined and unappreciated instead of supported in dealing with an increasingly transient and impoverished...

The teachers are mostly okay, but the current administration is terrible. The principal yells at kids and seems to lose her temper very easily.Test scores have really dropped since she took over last year. My special education student reports getting little help and lots of teacher absences. I haven...
