I am a current Junior at Grissom High School and I can definitely tell you without bias that it is the best high school in the area. In spite of multiple reviews, so long as you try to learn teachers will do everything in their power to put you on the right path. As a student who’s taken all sorts of classes (honors, AP’s, and one regular) I can ensure that the education provided at any level is extraordinary. There are clubs and extracurriculars for everyone and students are bound to be able to find a sense of belonging somewhere. Overall, Grissom is a great school. It has its flaws, but it honestly just makes it more human- nothing can be perfect. If you or your child are going here- they’re in good hands!

Wonderful for both of my boys. Both have grown in academics and in character. This is because of the excellent teachers pouring themselves into the students needs.

Former student speaking and from my experience I think the education is good.Except PE the teachers just have it as glorified recess and did not prepare me at ALL for high school PE. We did no push-ups no sit ups nothing. The most you did was walk a few laps around the track and you were free to do whatever as long as you don’t get hurt. They aren’t even that good as football coaches either so I don’t know how they haven’t been fired yet.Aside from PE, my only other complaint is the lack of punishment. I was bullied a lot and the most the teachers ever did was walk up to them and tell them “Please stop doing _______ to _____.” If you were lucky, they would get detention, but it does nothing because they were already used to it. They didn’t even bat an eye when the special education kids were being bullied. Ms. Graham was the only teacher I ever saw do something about the bullying. It disgusts me that the school doesn’t care about this problem.
