Wylie E. Groves High School Reviews
Rating 4.08 out of 5 266 reviews
My experience at Groves High School has been very pleasant thanks to the diverse community of students and teachers. I moved to Michigan from a very racially homogenous place and witnessing the community interacting in such a constructive and supportive way was a pleasant surprise to me. I fully take advantage of the serene library, coutless clubs and after school activities, and usefull electronics Groves has to offer. The staff also greatly contributes to the invitingness of the school; I am not a US citizen and most teachers are eager to help whenever I encounter an unfamiliar issue. Every month, the superintendants host a school-wide diversity discussion activity covering sexism, racism, homophobia and other problems faced by minorities. I think this is a great thing considering that I had never participated in something like this before moving here. Overall, I am extremely content in my high school experience at Groves High School, a place that promotes a sense of community.
Overall, I think Groves is a great school along with the entire Birmingham schooling district. However, like any institution there are pros and cons. Groves is highly favorable when it comes to academics and adversity as far as the selection of courses you can choose from to the clubs & activities they offer. I have had the opportunity to try a variety of courses and clubs that I thoroughly enjoyed. My time as a Groves falcon has been nothing, but bitter sweet. Apart from the highly favorable courses and activities, I do feel as though not many teachers value the students well being and learning capabilities. I have watched many students struggle, I being one of them. Simply because they couldn’t adapt to the way the teachers taught the subject. Therefore I feel that it is only fair that the teachers accommodate or meet the students half way when it comes to their different ways of learning the specific material. With that being said, ultimately Groves is a great school.
Groves is an outstanding school with endless opportunities for students to explore areas of interest. Students, staff and the community as a whole are extremely supportive and are always looking for additional ways to support and challenge one another to grow. Groves is a student centered and in many ways student-led community, therefore students graduate with a substantial set of leadership and problem solving skills that many high school graduates lack.
