I have had 4 children attend this school. I like the teachers and the academics. They also still involve the students in sports activities unlike many school districts in the area.

My son loves this school and the teacher's are great. I love the fact that so many parent's in the community are involved and care about their kid's future and what the school is teaching them. A+

I go to this school and I just got to say I love it. Most teachers are great. The broadcasting network is funny (GBN)

I do agree with a lot of the reviews, the teacher quality is excellent. My daughter is finishing up her last year 08' at Griffith and I know that she will miss staff as well as her teachers.

My daughter is in sixth grade, we are new to the school district & she has never felt this confident about her abilities. We both feel secure in knowing that if she needs help there is always someone to turn to. School events are planned with such detail & the school staff & administrators do a great job in creating a positive atmosphere. I would not want my daughter in any other middle school. Thank you all, for making things happen. Griffiths is it!

This school has been very rewarding for my daughter. She has had experience with a variety of skilled teachers and that has only brought out her confidence. She is now ready for high school and has had the guidance of her teachers in preparation of her choosing her classes for next year. Giffiths is a distinguished school and it does make up for its name.
