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.

It was a good experience my freshman and sophomore year. The teachers can be frustrating but everything else is great. Amazing athletics and community.

Overall, Grundy Center Highschool isn't terrible, however it does need some work. Sports are very important to this school but academics are also important. The issue is that bullying happens alot and alot of teachers act blind to it. I would also like to see the food quality and portions become better.

I like the variety of classes that I can take and that I have the chance to take classes that will give me college credit. For the most part, the teachers are very well educated, know how to run a classroom, and are kind.
