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.

Grant Union High school has a lot of opportunities that connect students with the support they need. However, getting the students involved with the activities is hard as they may not be interested or it may not be advertised to them.

My experiences have been good. The teachers here welcome everyone, and show love to many people from different walks of life. The staff show that they care about our well being and do their best to make sure that we are doing okay. What I would like to see change would the school activities offered for more.

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.
