I love this school because every child is treated equally. Smart, athletic, studious or boisterous, it doesn't matter, all kids are loved, valued and respected.

I am a former student at grant and i have to say that the school is amazing! I admit that as soon as i hit 8th grade I was ready to get out of there, but that was only because I was ready for highschool. So far I can honestly say that being at grant was the best three years of my life! All of my teachers were amazing and very nice. The only way you wouldn't like this school os of you aren't doing what you are supposed to do. As long as you stay out of the drama there should be nothing to worry about. I would recommend GMS for anyone who wants to go there.

We switched our child from Franklin to Grant and couldn't be happier. Same 6 track classes as Franklin's 'Gifted Program' and same text books. Much kinder environment and no head games. Just decent teachers and staff who truly love and care about kids.

This school is not good, there is only a limited number of teachers who actually want to help you, and there are many teachers that do not want to help you.The staff is descent but not the greatest they seem to single certian students out. The extracurricular activities are jam packed so you usually don't get what you picked. fights often break out every week,the students want and like to be in fights usually for no good reason.

Grant has a poor quality of academic programs. The teachers do not offer help to struggling students. Teachers cannot handle the discipline problems at the school. Fights occur often. Students cannot be placed in their preferred elective classes because these classes are too few and fill up quickly. I would not recommend this school to any parent.
