What I liked most about going to Groton Area is the relationships I developed with my teachers. They are truly amazing and enthusiastic about their roles. I feel that has reflected off onto me to find a career I am passionate about. As with all schools there is room for improvement. Our school sets goals every year and usually is successful in achieving them.

From my experience, I like That Groton don't have big classes. However, one thing I want to change about it is having more course options.
