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.

What I would like to change about Grand Lake High School is the fact that it is over-staffed, there are too many useless positions, and not enough teachers good enough to fit the standard of learning.

The best part of Grand Lake High School are the teachers and faculty. These people will always give you the best advice and the best education, although they may be a little harsh. But this will prepare you for college and what to expect when you are a full-time student at a university. However, there are not many AP classes or clubs. Which can be a problem when applying to college.

Grand Lake High School deserves 5 stars for many reasons. As a student, I have always felt safe and I have always known that my teachers always wanted the best for me. The faculty and GLHS are dedicated to giving the students every opportunity to succeed.
