The worst middle school I've ever experienced. I was ruthlessly bullied to the point students were sending me death threats. The staff didn't care whatsoever. Staff members hate their jobs, and they quit all the time. Teachers scream at students about their personal lives, and break down in tears. I even had a teacher who threw a thick history textbook at a student, he quit, he wasn't fired. My younger brother has been physically assaulted by a student for years, and the staff does not care whatsoever. I had to get in touch with news stations when I went here, anything to try to get justice. The High school is even worse, which I didn't think was possible.
One year at the middle school, they shut down the bathrooms, and only let one student per grade go, including male and female students. It got so bad at one point I stopped going to school, and my best friend dropped out, that was in 7th grade. Teachers have a history of bullying students, and they don't get along with the other teachers. I wish I could go back in time and enter a different school system. I've been attending Griswold Public schools since 4th grade, and I can assure you this is the worst school system I have ever experienced.

My stories could go on forever, but I'll keep it short, DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE.

Teachers basically allowed other students to bully other students and they would laugh along with the student

I was bullied from my 6th grade year to my 8th grade year. Then when I ‘snapped’ I was the bad guy and the bully

I hated it. Simple as that. They didn’t teach me anything teachers who I thought I can trust only had a strong dislike for me and when I was being bullied by the “teachers pets” the teachers got involved and only made me hate my time in this school. I was bullied because of who I was as a person. But the times I did stand up for myself I was cyber bullied by several people who teachers deemed “great students” it got to the point where in my math class the teacher was having people come in to record the class. She had me removed from the class so no one can record me and put me in ISS for the duration of the class.

As a parent, there are many parents disgusted with the school system's lack of responsibilty for ensuring the safety of our children. The superintendent, himself is aware of many parents pulling their children from the school system because they were unable to keep students safe from being continually bullied. There is supposed to be a zero tolerance policy for bullying, that policy only works if it is actually followed by staff and it is not. One boy was bullied so badly this year, he is now tutored at the local library because the school failed to keep him safe. This boy is just one of many others that found themselves victims of not only the bully, but the school system that is supposed to protect them at all times.
