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.

Grant high school is a majority white school and I seem to not fit in at times as being an Hispanic daughter. The school is being remodeled at the moment so I would hope to see change in the environment of these kids learning space. There are a lot of school events to help kids get involved.
