Groves High School

I went to groves for 3 years in my final year had to drop out with 3 weeks left of school because of fear for my safety was not a shy student played 2 sports and had a lot of friends but we were considered in a racial war because african americans didn't like us. there was a fight almost everyday and drugs in the school were bad. however at the time some teachers did care not all and if you played a certain sport a teacher didn't like you were treated poorly and different than others. The test were low at the time and should be because most people that went there did not study or do the work required.

Groves High School.... Where do I start..... At lunch time the common areas could def be compared to a small war zone with the fighting. My son went to Groves after moving to the new residential areas in Pooler and will NOT return under ANY circumstances! In fact after learning the school fired over half its teacher and failed horribly on the state standarized testing on top of the entire school and curriculum being restructured my son will be attending homebased public online high school at k12.com/gca. Groves is a poor excuse for a school and a epic failure in the education department. After trying for 2 weeks to speak to someone regarding my sons education at Groves I still have not heard back from anyone that can give me statistics on the new curriculum as I was told was proven to work.

As a student at Groves High School, I think some teachers don't care if we learn or not. They just care that they're gettin paid. And I also don't feel safe at Groves. Administration is terrible.

I'm a graduate of Groves and is very disappointed with the school now. The Teachers that I have came in contact with are good and are trying but the principle, the ghetto students, and the way the school is ran is a joke. I am ashame that I even went there. I really hate this school now and I dont use the hate word but the way that Groves is now it's awful. After this year I'm really going to try my best to pull my child out and enroll him into Jenkins.

As a former student of Groves High School, I can not speak well for the school. I came to Groves as a freshman this year, and within the first week we were having problems. The teachers are excellent, and the education is okay, but the students within the school make it quite hard to enjoy. Groves had it's trouble makers, just like every other high school I will admit. But it seemed as if the teachers had no control over of the students. I suggest placing your child in another school if he/she isn't strong willed, and willing to put up with problems. I'm faced with applying for homeschool at this point: which is NOT the best option.

this school is a joke and lacks everything essential to learning. i'm a former student and slept all day every day and came out with a 3.5 GPA
