I just graduated from grant this past spring, I attended Grant all 4 years, I was apart of 3 different sports (ending as a 12 sport athelete with a weight 4.2 GPA), and a few clubs. As a student I took a total of 4 AP classes with almost all of the rest being an honors class. I see and understand what other reviews mean of certain disrespectful teachers or staff, but from my experience and my friends experiences, a LARGE portion of teachers at Grant genuinely care for their students, some just have their own ways on encouraging. Most of those unique teachers aren't as well liked, but honestly they were always my favorite because i felt the most comfortable when I felt like i could kinda be jokingly rude to them or make jokes about them with out being genuinely disrespectful. I enjoyed and had a positive experience from just about every class, teacher, coach, and staff member I ever interacted with. Just about every teacher I had cared about me, my grades, and my wellbeing, along with the rest of their students. The teachers at Grant, from what I had experienced, care about your student, and will try to help, encourage, and challenge your child. Grant is a pretty decent school (I just wish we had open lunch, but tbh the food isn't horrible). As a parent tho, try to help your child get involved in extracurriculars, any club or sport, just something to get them to find like minded people with positive goals, a d try to encourage them to study outside of school.

This is the best school ever i just graduated as a 6th grader and the teachers and students are wonderful and no bullying goes on and allot of parents are involved you will LOVE hilltop elementary school

This school risk every Everything and makes kids go to school in negative weather as the busses all spin out from ice.

We are new to the district and we absolutely love this school. The teachers and staff are amazing. They truly care about your kiddos. My child has an IEP and some special education classes and everyone has been phenomenal through the entire process. The principal and assistant prinicpal are exceptional. They nipped a bully incident in the bud. Staff is very easy to communicate with. They use email alot which is GREAT. My son has made friends and really enjoys going to this school.
