Grayson High School

Great school. I was offered the chance to go to another high school, but I stayed in my current district because I didn't want to leave Grayson.

Grayson Is a great school. I have two kids there presently. They gave my children the tools needed to be successful and challenged them without them "hating" school. It is a football focused school along with baseball and lacrosse but as for the person below. If you become proactive now.. I have seen groups and activities improve when there are enough parent and kid support. My senior says himself.. he really like his school.. All have the basic issues ... there are 3000 students_ but overall... great school that prepares well for college.

I am grandfather of a future student. I expect him to be a good to excellent tennis player by then. I would want him on the tennis team. Alas, I find that the tennis courts at GHS are 90 degrees out of proper alinement. That shows a blatant disregard by staff to understand or really care about tennis. Bodes poorly for my grandson's chances to learn from that ignorant staff. Just a heads up to other parents who trust a american football type mentality.

I went to grayson when i was just comeing out of homeschool. i was a downer and looked down on every thing, one of these being my life. but as the years passed grayson built me up and gave me some of the best friends ive ever had. ill never forget my years at grayson. i dint like it at first but i got thru it. its a good school and if anyone puts even just a little effort they will be fine. this school gave me the tools to become a man. anyone looking for a good school, look no futher. but i warn you. there are problems with grayson just like any school. but i found there to be much less. and they also keep the school in grat shape. the teachers are mostly good and very easy to work with. all most all of my teachers gave me good time to do my work. but again, they are bad teachers.

I've had 2 children come up through the Grayson cluster. The school has been a great experience for one, and a so-so experience for the other. For the most part, as a parent, I've been pleased. For my child who struggles more academically, I've been a little disappointed that there has been little to no contact initiated by the school. However, for the most part, I have been well received when I've requested a meeting or sent an email. At no fault of the school itself, it's a large place making it very easy for someone to fall through the cracks.

I am a teacher and have taught in Gwinnett County for all 15 years. I am also a product of Gwinnett Co. Schools being a graduate of Parkview. I think Grayson is an excellent place for students. At any place you go, there is always room for improvement, but you have to go into it with a good attitude. Those that I saw excell (even non-athletes) were those that had that positive attitude. They were going to do well regardless of who their teacher was or what the administration was doing or not doing. The school is open to help from all parents. The best way to help is not complain, but come up with a solution to what you see as a problem.

This is our first year at Grayson High, We moved to this area specifically due to the high recommendations of Mconnell and Grayson. I have some issues with the high school so far, not the least is the way I feel when i walk in to check out my child. I was told my daugher had two offenses, one due to being 20 minutes late! with me checking her in,. the other for being checked out by me her mom? I hope the greater good of this school is not overshadowed by many over the top rules, and it would be nice to be addressed as an adult when walking in to deal with the people checking in and out the students, or dealing with parents..

My daughter is extremely happy at Grayson. We would like to move closer to Midtown where my husband works, but our daughter begged us to stay put until she graduates in two years. Grayson's AP and gifted programs are phenomenal. Our daughter will be well prepared for the SAT and college admission.

I am currently a student at Grayson and I believe that it is a pretty good school, but there is many teachers that do not bother in teaching the students the things needed for the test and finals. There is many teachers that cannot even control their students and they do not even try to get along with them and give out referals like crazy for the smallest reasons I believe that the teachers hired should have more hands on experience before hand so they know how to understand the students needs. There is other teachers that do not respect students
