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 bullying at this school is out of control and not dealt with. Several parents our planning on home schooling their kids next year because the environment isn't good for the kids mental health. I wanted to love this small school atmosphere but the bad kids are giving too many chances and are thriving while the good kids are suffering.

I love how the school is small so that makes it easier to make a big group of friends rather then just a small clique. There's almost a family dynamic, and you make strong friendships that will last.

The process to schedule your classes is very simple, the teachers make it easy to get into the classes you wish to get into. The curriculum is wonderful and engaging. It is fun to learn and the topics are all interesting and the teachers like to fit the interests of the student into their daily lessons. The work load is not too much and not too little, it is perfect.

Overall our experience at Griffin has been extremely disappointing and difficult. The school rightfully has a big presence in the Community. There is a lot of attempted school spirit, and the community at large is very supportive of the school. There are also some nice families. It has some componen...

Possibly the worst school I've ever attended. Bullying is never dealt with. The administration made no move to help with bullying whatsoever. The only good part about the school are a few of the teachers. And I mean a total of 6.The whole time I went there I dreaded going. It shaped me into a parano...
