I have attended Grassfield since it opened in 2007. I am now a senior, and I feel it is the best school in Chesapeake. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. Grassfield's SOL scores exceed the average and it is because of the teachers that truly care about their students. I would have gone to Great Bridge had Grassfield not been built, but I am so glad I went to Grassfield because I have met friends from the other feeder schools and feel extremely prepared for college. For the parent who most recently reviewed Grassfield, I could be wrong, (this will sound harsh, and I apologize) but you must not have a child at Grassfield, because you would realize there are many outlets for students to succeed.
Grassfield H.S. is CLEARLY disingenuous and a huge deception. They may offer superior programs for their students, & their focus and attention is on those who are gifted, athletically or academically! They are excessively focused on their SOL S and the provided assistance for SAT S. Not all other Chesapeake Public High School s can provide such. They have no acceptance for the children who are not on grade-level and who have special academic needs. Some of these kids are not on grade-level because CPS has failed to provide an appropriate education in their years prior to H.S. If a student does not fit into the high achiever category, then they have no time or space for that child. They are taking mass amounts of credit for their likely to succeed students and they provide little to no assistance for the students who
Grassfield is a great school the teachers are wonderful lots of many diffrent programs to offer to the student they really keep you informed on everthing going on in this school I could not be any happier
The offering of the Technology Academy is top ranked. The school has the latest technology, great support, excellant teachers, students and parents.
It has an excellent chorus program and does well in Chorus competitions. It has a competitive theater program also. The AP teachers work hard to get students their college credits.
Awesome school, Awesome teachers. I cannot say enough good things about this school. I have 2 daughters attending here this year and I am proud to be a Grizzly!!
Grassfiels High school is awesome. The state of the art school is only topped by it's tremendous staff and administrationg. My oldest wants to graduate a Grizzly and my younger son cannot wait until he can be a Grizzly too.
No wonder the rest of the parents in chesapeake were upset with the staffing of GFHS. They have the best administration and teaching staffs in chesapeake. The other high schools will be playing catch up for years.
Grassfield High School has excellent teachers and administration. They foster a sense of school pride and are teaching the students to care about their community and themselves. The technology is superb!
In my 12 years of teaching, I have never been happier. The technology is awesome for both the students and teachers. GFHS certainly has what it takes to prepare the community's young people for a successful future. Way to go Grizzlies on a terrific first year!
