I am in sixth grade at this school. I might be moving and i will miss it if I leave. I think that a better music program would be good. Three electives are rotated throughout the year which is good because you get to try everything. Lunches are healthy but they taste good, too. They have a P.B.S. plan

Good school, great principal, most of the teachers are good. Some teachers seem to lack in organization skills. Orchestra is great, the music program is the saving grace of TUSD.

Gridley is a good school acedemically for gifted students. They have the option for taking some advanced courses, but I wish Science had advanced courses. The principal is outstanding, adn really listens to parent's opinions and is quick to respond to your concerns in a positive way. 6th grade teachers
... Read more are more willing to help your child succeed than 7th grade teachers, as some do not see the need follow 504 plans. Over all we liked this school, but are moving my daughter to a private school for her last year because she was constantly being picked on, and teachers did not seem to offer much assistance.
