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 love my school because my teachers work with me to help bring up my grades. I am visually impaired and I have a laptop and IPAD to use in my classes to help me.

I have been going to granby highschool since 2021, I am now a senior in 2024 and I believe that Granby was an average school. Some memories were good and some were bad like how all the teachers went out their way to help us and change their test dates but sometimes the metal detectors would make me late to class and in toruboe with my parents because they thouhht I was skipping school. Granby is a normal, average, "mid" school.

Granby High School has many pros and cons to it, but it's based on how you want your school year experience to be. I know for me, it's not as bad as what people explain it to you. I wouldn't say i'm happy to be at that school, but it's enough for me to say that i'm being well educated and knowledgeable to topics that I wasn't sure about before.

I have two children, both of whom are in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Granby.

Violence is a huge problem. When my child and groups of others are getting secondhand pepper spray from a fight being separated, doesn’t seem like an effective or safe tool.

This is the worst of the worst! Students are treated as if they are in court here and are forced to make plea bargains with suspensions. The principal shows little to no care for academics, safety, respect, or compassion. I don't understand how the doors are still open!
