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.

Gray's Creek High School was a high school that properly prepared me for college. While the food, like most cafeteria food, was less than desirable, the school provided many clubs for people of all backgrounds. It's an inclusive school, however a bit overcrowded.

It is a very nice school a nice amount of sports could be more. They are very dedicated to the jrotc program be use a lot of the students are from military families. They are very harsh on discipline. But overall a pretty safe environment.
