My children love their school and friends. Although lately, I've noticed there is only one person at the front office and sometimes there are two teachers but rarely now. I also noticed my children one time coming home saying they have a contest in school to fill a jar with coins and the class having the most coins filled will win ... odd ... I feel that the school is conserving soo much of their funds and making it difficult for other teachers. They also have a new program for younger children where parents can enroll their children for a few hours everyday and pay 300 a month. Even daycare centers having good curriculum is less expensive than what the school offers and it is a full day. I don't get what is happening internally but I for sure do not like what I am seeing.

This school is an absolute joke. The admin doesn’t know what they are doing, the teachers are unsupported and under engaged, and the special education department is infuriatingly insufficient. We hate it here and for how expensive property taxes in our area are, I would hope for our kids to get a much better education.

We absolutely love Big Hollow! This is my 6th year as a BH parent, and every year my kids have had amazing teachers who truly care about them. The teachers and staff are like family, and the community itself is just so friendly and welcoming. The teachers and admins emphasize character education. The superintendent is very involved, you see him at most events. It’s a wonderful school!

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.
