The teachers at Groveton are very good and dedicated. The teachers are a close knit group and they really provide a fantastic learning environment for the students. The two new principals Mr. Polio and Mr. Allens are very impressive and have really made a positive impact on this school. My son is in 1st grade and went to kindergarten here as well.
