    #1 Best School Districts in Grand Forks County

    Senior: My experience in the GFPS district has been pretty good. We have issues here and there, but for the most part it is a great place to learn. It’s a very friendly community and the staff are always willing to help you succeed. Teachers are typically amazing, even though you of course have a bad apple every once in a while. The GFPS system has been very good for me, and I’ve made long lasting friendships with peers and teachers. The schools also very much support going to college, and there are tons of opportunities available to learn more about any given college or financial aid. For example, the teachers all have green signs on their doors that state which college(s) they attended. The flyer encourages students to talk to teachers about their experiences.

    • School District
    • Larimore, ND
    • 3 reviews

    Senior: Larimore High is a great small town school to attend. It has a great history of sports competing in state competition. They also have many extracurricular activities including FFA, FBLA, River Watch, and Art club. The teachers are friendly and help everyone in the classroom. If there would be lunches. Students would like some better lunches to eat as some are not the greatest.

    Cushing Academy

    • Private School
    • Ashburnham, MA
    • 9-12
    • 93 reviews

    Alum: I am a loyal Alumnus who now works at Cushing. When I was here as a student over 30 years ago this school embraced me as a youngster looking to find his way as a young freshman who needed a lot of guidance, structure & support. The support I got then is the same support that I see students getting now. Our faculty and staff are very hands-on and attentive to student needs and learning styles. We have an advisory system in place that has built-in checks and balances to make sure the students get the support they need & do not get lost. The student to faculty ratio is such that all students are respected and known for who they are and what they bring to our community. The true meaning of our mission statement, which reads - Cushing exists for students and develops curious, creative and confident learners & leaders has not been more evident for a long time. Cushing's future is bright and I am very proud to be a part of this community again as a faculty member and loyal Alum. Go Penguins!
