My daughter has been in Griswold since Kindergarten and the expectations of Griswold are high and this is a great assest to your education. Education in life is important and this is where it all begins. Reach for a goal and then maybe your expectations in education and life may change. Best of luck.

I've moved around a lot and have been to many other schools before. I am disastified by the academic expectations and limited courses at this school.

I'm no parent. I'm a student. And I am telling you all right now. Griswold, whither we have lower test scores then other schools, we really do have great facilities and dedicated teachers there for us. My grades greatly improve each year because the dedication from the teachers are getting higher and higher. And this is coming from a junior in Griswold. Its a great experience, lots of outside fun things to do like sports, music, art, cooking, sewing, etc. We have a great music department, awesome teachers, cafeteria staff, guidance counselors, principles. And homecoming is the one event you can see, that with Griswold's students general discipline, we pull of a great event! I give Griswold 5 stars any day. Because you are treated like you are at home, like a family. At least in my eyes.

About the tests


In 2008-2009 Connecticut used the Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT) to test students' skills in reading, writing, science and math in grade 10. The CAPT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Connecticut.
