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 overall has been a pretty good experience. The school has necessary facilities and qualified teachers. There have only been one teacher at the school that I feel was not qualified to do their job. For the most part everything has been amazing. Teachers are nice and understanding and allow for leeway. They know how to teach I have genuinely learned a lot here and it has pushed me towards my future field of study which I am looking forward to

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.

Great place to graduate. Wish there was more diversity in both people and food. When I went there, I enjoyed hanging out with the transfer students because of the lack of diversity. Besides that, I like the teachers and the courses. Wish there were more college ready courses.

The counselors are a joke and have absolutely zero understanding of basic psychology. I'm genuinely amazed they still have...

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...
