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.

High School was an interesting part of my life. Some of my best experiences of high school include me making great friends, joining clubs and sports teams and achieving academic goals. It was a time were I was experiencing my first everything and discovering who I was. That doesn't mean that it was all great I did experience overwhelming stress trying to finish assignments. Drama, as well as losing some of your friends. Test, exams,and just the pressure of trying to find what you want to do when you leave high school. Just all that, but I don't think I would change anything about that school. It made me grow from all the struggles, and it changed me for the better but they can change the dress code.

Well as someone who went through major transitions at this school I am very disappointed in the school officials. I doesn't take long to realize that the "Grenada Band" is more important than academics. Teachers get in trouble if they keep students from going to band in order for them to finish thei...

This school district is not focused on the kids education...it's more of a minimum security prison that's focused on behavior modification than on academics. My experiences with the administration left a lot to be desired, and many of the stories my child brings home about the classroom atmosphere a...
