I think grimmer middle school is a good school. It prepared kids for high school and college. There were many challenging classes and clubs for students to take part in.

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.
