Niche grades and rankings are calculated using dozens of public data sets and millions of reviews. Niche data scientists and user researchers rigorously analyze data and user opinions to assess the key aspects of K-12 Schools, Colleges, and Places to Live. Every month, millions of students and families use the Niche grades and report cards to find the right school or neighborhood.
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.

Grayslake Central High School is a great place to learn without worrying about safety inside or outside of the school. There is always security on hand and watchful, friendly teachers to help out when needed. I have enjoyed my time here. GCHS provides the resources to have a fun high school experience, it's all about what you make of it.

I'm not a sports kid. I like that there are some good clubs and things, but wish there were more teachers that would sponsor activities. I have been in debate and tried being onstage. I wanted to start a D&D club, but we couldn't find a sponsor. I also have a dairy allergy and don't think the school food ever fits my needs so I pack a lunch each day. We all have to deal with things and find our way, right? I do like my teachers & you can tell they care. However, the grading policies are really harsh. I have ADHD and a 504 and its the only reason I can ever get any accommodations. They grade us with 90% summative, so if you mess up on a test it can kill your grade for the semester. I feel like I've learned a lot though and the general environment has always made me feel welcome.

Detentions still existed here before the pandemic. Not sure how it is now, but GCHS is one of the only sur...
