It’s a good school system. But some things need to be put together. It can be better. The buildings aren’t getting the repairs it needs. Most classroom have stand fans to keep students from the exhausting heat in the spring and summer. It doesn’t help by the way.... also the bathroom are so bad! The doors can’t close, the soaps are always running out, and the smell is horrid and it’s humid. The school sometimes runs out of resources which is very odd. But the teachers in this school district are very supportive and willing to help you the best way they can. Which I really love! Also they have various counseling services which is also a plus!
Being in a Grand Rapids Public School opened many opportunities for me, from scholarships to in-state schools and a diverse community. I established close relationships with my teachers and administrations, and being a part of sports allowed me to create strong connections with other students in different schools. Although attending an academically rigorous school, I was able to maintain a 3.95 GPA and participate in over 10 extra circulars. I never once felt like the teachers, the school, or the students expected any more or any less. I overall felt like the school was proud of my experiences and contributions.
There are a number of theme schools: elementary, middle school, and high school. I was able to go to a Montessori elementary school, an environmental themed sixth grade school, a middle school for gifted and talented, and an environmental themed high school. I feel like I was challenged every step of the way. Because I was able to finish most of my graduation requirements early, I was able to become dual enrolled at Grand Rapids Community College. I will graduate high school with between 20 and 24 college credits.
