10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son just started college and is excelling there after his 4 years at Grosse Pointe South. What he learned in high school in terms of not only studies, but also friendship, interaction and self-confidence has more than prepared him for advanced education. Grosse Pointe South is a special mix of progressive curriculum and social education with the right amount of traditional charm and history. This public school upholds high standards while staying up to date with curriculum and striving to be progressive socially and future-ready.Parent Review6mo ago - Pierce Middle School
