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 high school experience was mostly positive, with the best part being my involvement in the band. I loved playing at various events, which allowed me to express my passion for music. While I cannot think of many negative aspects, I would like to see improvements in the food choices at school, as more variety and better options would enhance the overall experience.

The best of Griffin High.. Griffin High is a great school to attend, the activities they plan are fun, the music department is great, sports are great and the teaching is ok. But the worst parts would be the student control; if you can't control the students they'll run over you as an adult. But other than that, Griffin High is a great school.

My overall experiment with the school is good because some times I have my day, but I still enjoy coming here everyday and making new friends. The school is mixed with everything when it comes to good teachers, bad teachers, decent food, and respectful staff.

This is a great school with a lot of opportunities for students to get involved. The staff is diverse with teachers from all over the globe as well as teachers who went to GHS. The leadership in the school tries to make a difference.
