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.

I would like to see more clubs, opportunities, less focus on sports so other extracurriculars could flourish, and more effort from administration to make these changes happen. The place had many flaws when I attended, but there are a few good teachers there that I'll never forget.

While the school itself is not a bad school there are many great recourses for students to take advantage of the environment and student behavior could be improved

They had 40+ fights last year and that was an improvement. If you're not buddy buddy with the admin look out. If you have any other place to send your ch...

I think that Grant County High School might have a bunch of drama with the kids not doing work or being roudy, but it is a great school in my opinion. The teachers are fantastic at what they do and most of them know how to control the kids. My english teacher has only been here for 2 years and is al...
