Granville High School

Two of my children have graduated from Granville Schools and both have done extremely well in college and felt high school was more demanding! Good surprise for them!

Okay well I'm at student at GHS and I can tell you way more than the parents. Let me first start off saying that GHS is known as a really good school in our area. That's because we do really well on testing. But Granville does has some flaws. There is zero diversity in our school. Everyone looks the same, talks the same, thinks the same. Also, Granville focuses way to much on grades and sports. If you don't get an A on a test people make such a big deal of it. And there are very few people here who don't play a sport. So if you are thinking about sending your child here, please keep everything I said in mind. Like I said, I'm a student. So I know what I'm talking about.

I am a former student of GHS. It's a great school that provides solid courses, small classes, a generally accepting student body, with easy access to your teachers for feedback. However, It's success is a double edged sword. On the one hand, because the school is well known as being top tier, it creates expectations that students feel compelled to meet. This is good, because turning in papers late, being late to class, and generally goofing off is not part of accepted culture at GHS, as it unfortunately is at some public schools. On the other hand, you tend to find students who feel so pressured by parents who have expectations of certain results from the school and the enviroment I described on its own merits that you would think they were in their final term of Harvard. One must remember these are kids and its high school.

I'm a student here at GHS and I love it here. The classes are small and I've heard from many of my already graduated friends that after you graduate, your frechman year at college will be easy because it is just like your senior year at GHS. I talk to many of my friends from different schools and I feel much better about my education. My vocabulary has a wide range and my test results are excelent.

Granville High School is a wonderful learning environment. Students are given much room for independence. For instance, a junior was able to form the girls' field hockey team single handedly. The classes are small and the students have wonderful advantages for living in such a secure, small town such as Granville.
