The best part about u.s grant is the facility the counselors more specifically. The counselors are very helpful and every aspect, they truly care. If I was having a bad day their office was my muse. They truly take a minute to hear you they never judge or come off dismissive. The worst part about u.s grant is the lunch, very bland, and the vending machines always get stuck.

I loved many of the clubs and classes the school had to offer, as well as a few of the amazing teachers who offered help whenever needed. Clubs really allowed me to connect more with other people and the school. Some things I disliked, though, would be how the school doesn't really find any of the clubs, leaving for some of the clubs to fend for themselves if they want the club to exist, leaving for some teachers to be overworked. Overall, it's a great experience.

Grant is very diverse, but a little overcrowded. The teachers are nice and respectful but the lessons tend to be crammed.
