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.

There are options for community college and AP courses, but not many. There are 2 fully online AP class options, and many courses from the local community college. They are more open to giving the opportunity of more AP courses to students that have already taken an AP course and did well. I do wish that we had more all week in-person college courses, however, I don't blame the school because we live in an area where most people don't go to college. It's not a very college bound school, but I've heard the CTE courses are good. We have had problems with bomb threats, but it was dealt with well. Vaping is bad here, as well. Our football team has the right energy, our cheer team matches the energy, and our marching band is always growing. The band is one big family :) The staff do their best and most are good at what they do. The lunch ladies are amazing and the food is decent for school food. There are not many clubs, but we have a few.

The teachers that I had were extremely knowledgeable and did a wonderful job teaching me and keeping me engaged in the classroom. The high school's staff and my counselors went out of their way to help me with anything that I needed and anything that could help me with my future.

The school is focused on hitting state guidelines, not getting the children to learn and retain the information and concepts. The apathy in some of the teachers is obvious. Other teachers are just trying to throw everything at the kids, hoping something might stick. The illiteracy rate at the school...
