I have had one child graduate on the IB Diploma track from Granby and another child who currently attends on the same trajectory. We have had nothing but a positive experience, my children are challenged academically and the teachers are motivating and provide a supportive environment. The program is rigorous and prepares students for college or their next steps in a supportive environment. The leadership at the school, starting with the Principal is admirable. Despite it being such a diverse and large school, they do their best to provide top notch communication and when issues arise, they do their best to address and fix them. Weekly communication is fantastic. Athletics have allowed students to try new things and become involved. We have been so happy we chose to send our children to Granby. Our graduated student is attending their top choice university and had phenomenal outcomes. As an urban school, Granby provides real world experiences prior to students being out on their own and that is invaluable.

Overall, just an average school. I think it could be a great school if the class sizes were smaller and the teachers not so overwhelmed. Administratively there should be some improvement too.

This middle school is the worst place I rated it on Google maps the learning environment seems toxic Northside middle school just deserve a two star some parents opinion I respect it not the best middle school option ever.
