Academics were definitely not the best, with highly disorganized teachers and very few that stood out to students and genuinely did a good job in the classroom. The only department that genuinely stands out is the English department-- with talented teachers, that are genuinely not treated well by the administration whatsoever. The administration often targets certain extremely talented teachers, while paying no attention to the lazy ones. Nonetheless, the school needs a lot of work. Don't send your students here if they're a part of the LGBTQ+ community, as the administration also has some obvious biases to work through.
The school overall needs to reform its policies and administration. The bathroom policies are absolutely ridiculous and there often is no soap for hand washing. The teachers do their best to teach but there is too much of a focus on getting the schools grade up. The school doesn't really care about preparing their students for college or a career. The administration often puts students down for dreaming too big and being unrealistic. The school also needs a lot of physical work done. There's been issues with mold, rats, and bathrooms overflowing with water during all of my four years there. There are even ceiling tiles that have fallen on students due to water damage. For students with asthma or allergies, this is an awful environment to be in for hours at a time.
I have attended Grace King High School for nearly four years and I believe the school focuses on the wrong things. Grace King focuses on the schools overall success rather than focusing or even helping a student graduate. This school even puts the students in danger by making us prone to diseases and viruses by not letting us go to the restroom when need to or even supplying soap in the bathroom, but I helped myself and persevered and studied on my own and basically taught myself and I have maintained a GPA of 3.5 or higher.
