About Grove School

Serving students from seventh through twelfth grade, Grove School has an enrollment of 85 students and maintains a student-teacher ratio of 2.8:1 with 31 full-time equivalent teachers. The school's setting is within a large suburban area, providing a spacious environment for learning and development.
While Grove School’s MySchoolScout rating of 2.3 out of 10 might suggest areas for improvement, the school focuses on fostering strong relationships between students and educators through its low student-teacher ratio.

Grove School offers a unique blend of middle and high school education in a welcoming suburban community, making it a distinctive choice for families looking for close-knit learning environments.
What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 85 students, Grove School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
With a student-teacher ratio of 2.8:1, Grove School offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
As a private school, Grove School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
