Grove City High School is notoriously known for pushing it kids out of the high school and onto the online charter schools. The Principal and one of the Assistant Principal's at this school use the power of their administrative positions to deceive parents and retaliate against students they personally do not like, unable to put their personal feelings aside to provide guidance and encouragement to ALL students. This Week Newspaper/Grove City Record dated March 1, 2007 has a front page article "SWCS enrollment slows down." The article states new student enrollment in the year 2001 was 646, with a steady decline of new students enrolled in 2006 to only 33 new students. This continues to be a growing district with the new Pinnacle Golf Course Housing Development, etc. with ONLY 33 NEW STUDENTS ENTERING THE DISTRICT IN 2006/07. I speak from my experience as a parent of students who attended Grove City High School. This school's leadership has a poor reputation that is well known and is catching up with them by the marked decline in new student enrollment.

I thought as far as schools on general go, this is, in my book, the best school in the country.
