Francis Granger Middle School

Excellent school. Good Staff. The school has lived upto expectations. I wish to see more focus on curriculum to core standards.

This school is excellent. Mrs. Kelly and her staff are nothing short of amazing. She is at every event, organized, caring, respectful and much more. I am privileged my kids are able to attend this school.

The administration and nursing staff here are not very good. My daughter is a diabetic and we have had more issues than I care to share. But know this, the teachers are great, it is the administration and nurses that we had the issues with. If you have a child that needs medical attention throughout the day, please take your time in choosing a school. This one may not be for you.

We moved to this area from another state a year ago. My two kids have adjusted remarkably well to the new scool, making new friends easily. No bullying in the school, my kids assured me. Great teachers and staff.

This school would be fine for a child who can take a heavy work load and can handle unruly peers. The teachers at this school are not flexible and do not have proper teaching skills, they cannot comprehend how to help a student who is struggling with their work. They will look the other way when a child is in need of help with school work or having issues with other students. And the students are not properly watched so they can easily bully other children. This school has crowded classrooms and students get little guidance.

Caring and energetic staff. Disagree with other comment about racial strige -- school really bends over backwards for minorities and is diverse. Awesome gifted program. One complaint is that class size is too large.

School is great if you have a child that has no trouble learning but if they have one that has trouble learning it seems like they dont want to bother with it. I have two children in the school, one child that is like a sponge and the other that needs help and you can see the difference the way they are treated. Also the school seems to allow racism without consequences, if your child is minority I would be hesitant since your child may fall victim to racial slurs and there seems to be no authority figure there that wants to stop it.

This School is amazing, I am a 7th grade student here, and there is something for everyone! the only bad thing here is the teacher student ratio, especially in physical education.

There are great teachers at Granger, we moved to Oswego and my daughter was one step ahead of everyone, she was put in honnors classes. But there isn't much diversity in the school, it is at a low levle of ethnicty.
