I'd rate this school as average. While the academic acpect is very good, the school spirit is lacking. The students do not think it's important to get involved. Going to school at GCHS makes me feel like...nothing. While there are almost never major negative occurences, there are not many major positive (by which I mean fun) activities going on either.
My daughter graduated in 2009 and received an excellent education. The teachers were caring and engaged with their students. They stimulated the students to think and not just memorize materials for testing purposes. My daughter emerged with a curiosity about the world and a thirst to learn. I am convinced that the teachers at Grayslake Central nurtured these traits.
Both schools are good. I have attended both schools as well, North and Central both have their good qualities and their bad ones. North, is of course, a newer campus and therefore nicer classrooms and facilites. However, Central has tradition that North doesnt. It has been around for a long long time and has an outstanding tradition in the 'RAM FANS'. Overall, i would rate Central higher than North because of tradition, and North has more kids that dont live in Grayslake that attend it than those that do. Central 100% Grayslake/Hainesville students. GO RAMS!
Please do not believe the hype. Most peole say that Central is a better school than North but you can never know that until you have experienced both schools. I attneded Grayslake Central as well as Grayslake North and North is actually the better school. Parents just say Central is because they think that North has more minority students (black and hispanic). When in all actuallity it is the same percentage. North has better teachers and the students are exceedingly friendly.
