Excellent and involved staff, especially the principal. He is accountable and has turned the school around. Great amount of activities and SAFE. It is a scanning school which eases my worries about safety.

Grover Cleveland High School is a very nice school the teachers are friendly and respectful to their students. There's many things that can bring every student to feel connected. I would suggest being involved in any clubs, or school events so that you never feel alone or left out. The school is a great overall high school experience.

I love how helpful my councilors are, and how quickly they respond to emails. The CORE program is very welcoming and develop writing skills very quickly.

My child goes to this school and I have to say I am extremely happy with the teachers and the principal. I have heard awful things about this school and was nervous to send my child here. The school is great and my son loves it. His teachers are very nice and helpful. Great communication. This schoo...

It doesn't mater how good is the school, if someone don't want to Learn nobody can force them to learn. In one my opinion school is really good because students get a lot of chances to learn and learn things that they won't have to pay for.
