i go to this school and i think the education is amazing!!!
—Submitted by a student


Posted August 18, 2004

We had a wonderful experience at Grandview Middle School. Our son came into the school as a new 7th grader. We were very concerned for him since he had had a difficult move in another state the year before. We choose the school because of its great test scores and small size. The teachers and administration made him feel like a welcome part of the school. They gave him confidence and motivation to succeed. They helped him to develop new friendships. They challenged him and he excelled in academics, extra-curricular and social activities. We feel so fortunate that we choose the Westonka School District to educate and shape our children s lives.

Grandview is a great school. The staff and faculty are continually striving to improve an already impressive program. There are a lot of choices for both academic and extra-curricular activities. The most impressive thing about Grandview is that the same time and attention, and feeling of importance is given to all students regardless of race, socio-economics, academic level. It is a small school, which is good because every student counts, and every student is known by name.
