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 would say that Grundy is a very good school, that has helped me to succeed. I have been to many different schools throughout my life, and I would say that Grundy has been my favorite so far. Grundy worked to help every student succeed in school and improve as a person. Through my years at Grundy, I have been able to make a lot of friends and do a lot of fun things. I really like how I was given the opportunity to take college classes while still in high school.

I really have enjoyed homecoming weeks of celebration. The whole town comes together to cheer on the Spartans! It is a great experience. I do wish this connection was present in all sports.
