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.

My experience at Gridley High School has been both a positive and negative experience. I have learned so much from many different teachers but there's always one that doesn't help you succeed. I will say I have enjoyed going to this school but it can be very judgmental and unorganized. Overall, I am excited to turn a new leaf into college at UC Riverside.
