I am a teacher and have taught in Gwinnett County for all 15 years. I am also a product of Gwinnett Co. Schools being a graduate of Parkview. I think Grayson is an excellent place for students. At any place you go, there is always room for improvement, but you have to go into it with a good attitude.

They were going to do well regardless of who their teacher was or what the administration was doing or not doing. The school is open to help from all parents. The best way to help is not complain, but come up with a solution to what you see as a problem. Read less

This is our first year at Grayson High, We moved to this area specifically due to the high recommendations of Mconnell and Grayson.

My daughter is extremely happy at Grayson. We would like to move closer to Midtown where my husband works, but our daughter begged us to stay put until she graduates in two years. Grayson's AP and gifted programs are phenomenal. Our daughter will be well prepared for the SAT and college admission.

I am currently a student at Grayson and I believe that it is a pretty good school, but there is many teachers that do not bother in teaching the students the things needed for the test and finals.

As a Grayson Alum, I do not think the school is half as bad as everyone says it is. I am going into my senior year at UGA and believe Grayson prepared me for college the best it could. There were many classes available to students that were beyond helpful such as AP classes, Peer Leadership, and QUEST
... Read more Internship, just to name a few. The teachers worked with me and made themselves available to help after the class ended. They assigned projects that made students think and not merely copy and paste something from google. School spirit lacked towards the end of my time at GHS, but that was due mainly to the change in principals. I feel that Grayson provided a great high school experience and wouldn't change a thing. My only advice- get involved! Actually doing something for the school makes for a better high school experience. -Alum '04 Read less

I am a current student attending Grayson High school, and I must say that the bad 'rep' that the school is receiving from most of the students is inadequate. I have been attending Gwinnett County Public Schools (often called the GCPS)for the past 16 years of my life and have been very satisfied with

Most people believe that the administration system is unsatisfactory; however, this is not due to Grayson High School policies but actually due to Gwinnett County Public School's policies. I do however disapprove of the money distribution that occurs in Grayson's activities. We should be distributing this money evenly throughout the schools for things like Theatre, New band Instruments, Orchestra, and choral music. Read less

I'm a current student at Grayson and don't believe it is a bad school at all. The 'horrible' teachers that people are talking about, really aren't horrible at all. Granted, a few are, but most teach the curriculum very well. And as for the strict discipline, you'll find that in most schools. I'd rather

They believe that if they go to another school it will be different, the PEOPLE will be different, but that's not the case. If the kids had better attitudes, they'd be a lot happier. Sure, there are room for improvements, which can be made through PTA, but overall Grayson is a great school. Read less
