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.

GD is a pretty good school, as a student I feel supported by most of my teachers. We have block scheduling where we only have 4 classes per term, which helps with not having too much work going on at once, and it's easier to take multiple math or science courses in a year. The biggest issue with the school is the lack of substitute teachers. Every day, multiple classes are held in the commons or black box because there aren't enough subs to cover every class. Other than that though it's pretty good.

My four years at Groton-Dunstable has overall been a great experience. I have been challenged here academically and have learned far more than I would have expected in just my four years of schooling here at GD. One of my favorite aspects of GD is that the teachers are all very supportive and willing to put in the extra work to help students at GD succeed. One thing I think could used to be changed at GD is the disciplinary because kids usually have an easy time getting away with their actions but for our school to have a safer community then I think if would be effective to have stricter discipline for students who break the rules.

Groton Dunstable is the perfect size to get to know everyone but still be able to branch out and form connections with others. The teachers are very hands-on and involved with the students so you really get the opportunity to form great relationships with the faculty to help ensure the most quality education. The sports teams are all competitive and we have a great athletic booster program along with many clubs to pick from for extra curricular activities. Overall I've always adored the high school and will be sad to leave it. I definitely recommend joining the groton-dunstable school district because there is nothing like community here in our small towns.

My child transferred in for the second part of Sophmore year, and just graduated in 2020. Moved to Groton in large part BECAUSE of the school. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Loved the teachers and staff. Caring professionals.

It's a very good school, with a good administration despite some recent turnover. My daughter is in mostly AP classes and doing great. The school facilities are well-maintained. My only complaint is that they need a cell repeater because there is no T-Mobile service there, which makes it hard to con...

Groton Dunstable is a very good school. The majority of teachers are excellent. The new principal is by all appearances doing a very good job. We do not have as many courses to offer as would a larger school, but we cover the basics and then some. There is a good selection of AP classes and the mate...

GDRHS is a very good school for its size . Child 1 graduated in last couple of years, one attends now. Block scheduling is a very good idea, enhancing focus, in a time where distractions abound.(FaceBook, e-mails texts). However the drawback to it is having 4 blocks classes each semester makes for t...
