it has been a great experience! teachers and students are very appreciative and offer great activities. I would like to see them take bullying more seriously and discipline more.

I have attended Groton the entirety of my academic career. Despite the school being ranked low on the state list, you get out of it what you put in.

Ultimately the most compelling aspect of the school is the caring staff, who genuinely do care about every student.
