My time spent at Grainger High School has been shorter than others. I transferred here my Sophomore year because of their academics. I have been elated with my grades and teachers since moving here. Grainger high school has given me a great learning and college readiness ability.

This is a good school, but it does not have the funding to provide the students some of the things they want to do for them.

Grainger High School isn't the worse school that I have been enrolled in. Their food isn't the best, but the lunch ladies try with what they have. The school would have gotten a better scoring if I hadn't had so much trouble with them. However, they do have a good amount of dual enrollment classes and even offer some online classes like Latin and ASL. They are pretty decent.
