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.

Overall Grimsley was a fun time but I wouldn't send my future children here by choice. The teachers kind of suck and are pretty lazy with terrible attitudes. The admin always "side" with the teacher leaving students for dead basically. I'm not talking about behavioral stuff because I don't know anything about that but being genuinely concerned and confused because your teacher doesn't teach nor help you understand and admin will just giggle and move on with their day. Definitely have to get your parent involved with everything and cc them to every email.

The IB Program is a great program which should be more promoted and differentiate Grimsley from other Guilford County High Schools.
