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.

Overall, Grant High School is a great school with a really strong community. There are definitely areas that could use improvement and there is a big lack of diversity, but the school has good programs offered to their students. There are many opportunities to be had here and programs for everyone to enjoy.

I think the pandemic contributed to a loss of community and my ratings would've been higher if we all had a normal transition from middle school to high school. I did most of my music studies outside of school.

My experience during my time at grant has been many. During my first two years at Grant I played for the men's Soccer team and I was able to see that the school takes its sport seriously. All 4 years during my time at Grant, have been good. The teachers I have had have all been wonderful and have taught me a lot about their subjects.

Absolutely awful. After two years of putting up with it, we moved. Our entire family wishes we transferred earlier.

Excellent for my incoming Junior. Incoming Freshman sister will be well accommodated by her instruction here too. They are college-bound, ready to learn and participate thanks to good grooming through elementary and middle-school experiences. GHS furthers this mission.
