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.

My son graduated from 8th grade this year and we absolutely love Grimmer. The teachers a great and very easy to get ahold of if needed. The principal is very involved. My son exceeded in sports and academics at Grimmer and made amazing life long friends.
