The principal here, Dr. Barnes is horrible. her focus is to point out kids, and punish them. she doesn't help or try to help interactive. This school excludes kids from fun days if behavior issues were had, not matter how long ago they were. This school lacks good security, kids would constantly smoke in the bathroom, sneak vapes ,pens and weed in this school.

Everyone I have come into contact with including the school “cop” is RUDE. I would not recommend this school to anyone looking for a friendly environment to become a part of.

as a current freshman, i’d say grovetown high is… mid. not horrible, not amazing, just very in the middle in a way that starts to feel disappointing after a while. the overall environment is one of the biggest issues. there’s a lot of drama, and it’s not even subtle. it feels like there’s always something going on, arguments, rumors, friend group problems, and it can get exhausting, especially when you’re just trying to adjust to high school and stay focused. academically, it’s also pretty mid. some teachers are okay, but others seem kinda lazy or just not very engaged, which makes it harder to actually care about the work. it’s not even that the classes are too hard—it’s more like there’s not enough effort put into making students feel supported or motivated. there’s also a lack of structure. a lot of students skip class, and rules like the phone/electronics policy aren’t really enforced. people are constantly on their phones, ordering doordash during school, and doing whatever they want, which makes the school feel unorganized and not taken seriously. another thing is the culture around partying and drugs. it’s pretty normalized, and even if you’re not involved, it’s still part of the environment in a way that’s hard to ignore. on top of that, there isn’t much school spirit. compared to other schools, there aren’t a lot of fun events or things that bring people together. it doesn’t really feel like that typical “high school experience” you hear about, it’s more just going to school, dealing with drama, and going home. mental health also doesn’t seem like a big priority, which stands out considering how much students deal with daily. it would make a big difference if there was more support in that area. overall, grovetown high isn’t the worst, but it’s not great either. it’s the kind of place where you can get through it, but you have to stay focused on your own goals and not get caught up in everything around you.
