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.

It is a big school with a lot of diversity. There are not a lot of clubs, and they most only have a handful of members. There are some really good teachers there. I hope to see cleaner facilities in the future.

Grant has a lot of good opportunities that can help me with my college applications and build up my resume. If I ever need help, I could always ask and they always provide me with resources to help with college.

The teachers are nice and provide a good education. Some events held are fun and most of the time consider the students' opinions. Teachers are outgoing and encourage success. However, I rate it as average because some staff are unprofessional and unfair at times.

I'm a senior student currently at Grant, and unfortunately it has fallen off more so than the past three years I've spent here.
