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.

Many, many years ago, I taught kindergarten at Lindenwood. It was on of my very best teaching experiences! There was great parent evolvement there! Great community school! Yes, there were some behavior issues. You’ll find that anywhere. However, I had incarcerated parents, yet they absolutely adored their child! I had exhausted students because their new sibling slept in the same room. Oh, there were many more! However, we just rolled with it all, trying to meet the needs of every student on every level! The students wanted to learn! Over all students were well behaved. I’d go back in a heartbeat if I still lived there!

This school is the worst to Teach!! The disrespectful , rude and disgusting behavior of students makes teaching hard. Bullying and fighting is daily event. They shout at teachers and laughing about it.
