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.

Grants Pass High School is a place that has allowed me to form my own opinions. I am grateful that I have had supportive teachers that want to see me succeed, and I am even grateful for the ones that I didn't care for as much because they shaped me too. My worst experience is definitely the culture of toxic masculinity, and sexist/racist jokes that are extremely offensive and not okay. For some reason, some of these kids haven't learned what's funny and what's not, but I'm hopeful that it will change.

Grants Pass High School prepared me for college and made me excited to learn. The teachers there cared for me and wanted to see me grow academically and personally. The high school will always hold a place in my heart and the memories I made there.

It was pretty good wish that there were more music programs. As well as more support from the staff members.

School officials care more about targeting and singling out 'perceived problem' students then education. NEVER have I seen a school so detention and suspension happy.

As a former student of GPHS I can honestly say that I wouldn't trade my experience there for anything. Not only did participation in their excellent Orchestra Program, Cheerleading, Golf team and student body aid in the procurement of a full scholarship to Columbia University - once there I was as p...
