Ulysses S. Grant High School Reviews
Rating 3.51 out of 5 299 reviews
As a former student, I really enjoyed my four years attending the school. I’ve made great connections with my teachers and they all have inspired me in so many aspects, majority of teachers I had were incredible and they still inspire me to do my best today! Many teachers extend their support and encouragement towards the students and make sure that the students are able to learn.
Well-qualified teachers who are always ready to help and support. Clean classrooms, well-organized lessons.Amazing counselors who do their best to help each student graduate successfully and stay on track.
My overall experience with the school has been pretty good. I can't say I've had bad experiences with other students, teachers, or administrators. The school has many clubs and extra activities for students to participate in, making life a little more fun such as fundraisers, events for the seniors, and spirit weeks. Recently I've noticed an increase in good food served and more art electives which have been a big plus. They've also installed a new large library that I have been very excited about. A negative though would have to be the number of students who engage in fights but we haven't had a big one in a while so I'd say we've been improving on that front. The only change I can think of would be a change in the attendance policy for seniors, just because I know some friends who have been stressed about it in regards to graduation as we have a limit of 7 days of unexcused absences.
