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 experience at Grassfield has been positive overall. The teachers are amazing and the academics are superb. However, there is a problem with students using vapes in the bathrooms. There are some intermittent fights between students, too.

The STEM is definitely beneficial. Being apart of STEM is an opportunity for a lot of field trips. Free tutoring after school is available if you need help with academics. The school's music program is worth attending the school. Academics are better in general.

Best school on the east coast for IEP. The program out shines any other school. If you are a military family with an IEP child this is it.
