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.

Griggs is a wonderful place to teach! I can truly say that in the 11 years I've taught there, I've never not had a smile on my face pulling onto campus! I'm happy everyday to teach at such a great school!

I have been teaching for over twenty-four years. I have taught in several different states in a total of seven different schools during that time. WC Griggs is by far one of the best schools that I have had the pleasure of teaching in. The staff along with the admin are wonderful to work with and extremely supportive. The expectations for student achievement are high and the curriculum is rigorous. The students are a joy to work with and the parental support is great. I would not want to work anywhere else.

W. C. Griggs School and the Staff is a very caring school and staff. I have seen only one teacher conduct herself unprofessionally. The school and staff put every effort into our children and it shows. They are there to teach and the children learn.
