Grafton Middle School

i only went to Grafton my six grade year back in 2005-2006 and i LOVED it i made alot of friends and the teachers where nice and kind to me i took AP classes and it was like high school my older sister graduated from grafton middle when i came in and it was just a blast i made alot of friends and had a sibling relationship like school brothers and school sisters and unfortunately i moved to back to Hampton VA and i was really sad but im happy to say my junior and senior year of high school im going back to grafton and seeing all my friends and actually being happy I LOVE GMS/GHS

My son went 3 years here and I am going to have 2 more kids going here. Overall it is fantastic although I wish there was more racial diversity here. My son has ADHD and kids with problems are sometimes not tended to due to the gifted kids that are predominant. If you are a parent looking for a superb school for academics and overacheivers this is it. If you have a child who is learning disabled you may not get as much help as you would like.

Grafton Middle School is one of the most involved schools that I have been involved with. The PTA is outstanding and does so much to improve the school's programs and involvement. Parents feel welcome. The students have a fantastic time learning with the outstanding staff at GMS! The Leadership/ Administration is awesome. They work well together and the kids are constantly learning new things. There are so many clubs, dances, cultural arts, and fun things to do. The social area is just as important as the education! The advanced classes are offered for the children that need challenges. The school stays real clean by the custodian's. Strong PTA! It's a great school!

My son loves being at Grafton. We moved last year from GA and the transition went quite smoothly. The entire staff is great and the principal is very hands on. He is quite visible and is always seen greeting students in the hallway.

I am a student at Grafton Middle School, and I don't think that it could possibly be a better school. All the teachers are extremely nice, and the school makes sure that there is nothing like bullying, or something crazy like school shootings. I also believe that this school gives me the best education possible, I would highly recommend this school to everyone.

I am a former student and i loved Grafton and had the best time there. The teachers are very well educated and a lot of people are very involved. They have lots of sports and a variety of extracuricular with a lot of options. The principal, Dr. Hollar, is amazing. He's really funny but is fair and caring at the same time. The actually building is very clean and up to par, and in great condition. The fact that its also a high school complex makes a smooth move over to the high school, because you've already been slightly exposed to it. It's also not overcrowded. i really wish i hadn't moved away!! =( I highly reccomend this school.

I think this is one of the best middle schools I have seen out there. They really seem to care about the children and maintaining the school. They are open to parent participation and are very welcoming to the parents (new and old). Dr. Hollar is a GREAT principal! My child loves this school and soon will have another child attending there. She can't wait to go! Thanks Grafton for being an overall superb school.

I have been very happy with Grafton Middle School. Both of my kids are on accelerated tracks and the teachers have been terrific. The school is physically connected to the feeder high school so my son has made an easy transition into high school.
