My son has spent the past three years at the Grove Middle school (Farm campus), grades 7-9, and is moving to the HS campus this fall. He has thrived in this small school environment. All students are known to all teachers/staff. The interplay between grades works well. I especially like that the 9th graders are mostly kept in the middle school environment while still beginning to integrate them into the high school (9th graders can take afternoon electives at the high school campus and participate on their sports teams) As a small charter school, the teachers aren't necessarily being paid what their counterparts are and teacher turn over has been a bit of an issue, but there are a core of truly exceptional and dedicated teachers that really make the school (on both the high school and middle school campus).

My daughter attended Grove for her Sophomore year and now currently her Junior Year. I do like the smaller school atmosphere, field trips, community service and student planned trips known as Winterim. I am a little disappointed with a couple of teachers. Most of the teachers are motivating and professional with the teens and seem to really relate to the students. I wish the parent hours of 30 per year were enforced by the current Principal, and all parents had the desire to help make the school even better. The front office staff keep things in order and they are helpful. Overall it is a good alternative to Public school.

The Grove charter high school is the school of the future. We looked for years for an opportunity like this for our children. With small class size & one-on-one help available they enjoy learning without fear & intimidation. They are taught to be responsible, self motivated learners & to think 'outside of the box'. Community service teaches them to think beyond themselves. Field trips, work shops & week long school trips give them a chance to see their world. It is a privilege to be involved in our children's education. At The Grove we feel like we are one big family. And, in reality, we are. Thank you to the teachers & support staff.(Gina, you created us...Barbara, you keep us going...Welcome Mike, good luck!) Lee & Suzee

I have two children in Grove School and I believe that they are absolutely thriving. They are taught to be self sufficient and are prepared for the real world. Grove raises the future leaders of our community, not simply the future Members of our Community. I can't give the staff and teachers enough praise for their commitment and effort with both of my children. I believe that bad reports come from parents who had a different idea of what the school really is about. With only 30 children at most in each year, it's hard to imagine how class sizes could ever be a problem!
