This school has very poor leadership. The principal isn't an expert on curriculum nor is she the head of discipline. Instead, she runs the school like a landlord handling the business side of things and bullies teachers into doing what she wants. Parents are not invited to many events, and she unprofessionally gossips about parents and staff.

this school was good back in my days. but holy lord my poor grand baby goes here and she comes home crying everday. better not be them kids praise the lord i hope this school gets better. also the lunch is horrid, grandbaby told me all about it. - Janet Williams

The teachers are not engaged with their students and they overall do not know how to teach. The students are completely, unbelievably, left on their own with no support from teachers or their fellow students. Some teachers are somewhat good but most only care about getting the job done so they can get paid, which is kinda sad considering they don't even get paid that much. Many students do not feel like they are learning anything because of classroom interruptions and because of the teachers poor job of teaching. I go to grant currently and I'm surprised I even knew how to use a chrome book because of their poor education to us students. The teachers do not care how the students feel. I have cried in class before and the teacher has told me to go sit in the hallway because I was "interrupting class". I'm sorry if me crying for a legitimate reason interrupts the learning process of students who aren't even paying attention, but maybe you should ask me if I'm okay or if I want to talk about it after class. Also teachers think using the bathroom is a privilege and its not. There is no control over my bladder and I can't help it. A student needed to go to the bathroom for feminine reasons and the teacher told her to wait till the end of class which ends at 10:50 and it was only 10 o'clock. Overall this school is not a good place for your kids and no one in their right mind should send their kids here. If you want your kids to do well in life don't send them to Grant.
