On Friday, October 15, 1999 The Wall Street Journal identified GHS as one of the ten best public high schools in the nation based on SAT, achievement tests, and standardized test scores. Granville High School has also been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School, and the district met all 27 standards of the Ohio State Report Card.
