I enjoy going to U.S. Grant. They offer many AP and Concurrent options to all students and have really helped me learn. They also have many sports and clubs available. I feel pretty safe and I feel like you normally get good teachers.

I had an amazing experience with the clubs and AP classes I got to join in my four years at U.S. Grant. They offer a variety of clubs and electives which is nice cause there's a group everyone will find things in common with (anywhere from art and musical instruments to dance and sports!)
