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.

The school is very tight-knit. Some days teachers know you so well, if you're not well mentally, they will do anything to help you. But, sometimes the small amount of peers leads to excessive drama. The small numbers also restrict the amount of AP courses available on campus.

My time at GLHS has been nothing short of amazing. It is a small town school where everyone knows everyone.

Grand Lake High is not only a high school but also a middle and elementary. Because of this, the students get to grow up together throughout the years and get to create strong bonds with piers and the community. Grand Lake is a small community where pretty much everyone is known. The schooling is exceptional with great teachers and the test scores are also very high. For the time that I have attended the school, it is filled with knowledgeable and helping people.

My child has always been in a much larger school atmosphere and this small school mentality is not at all what we would have hoped for. My chi...
