Default Grants Pass?

Can someone tell me about the quality of the middle schools and H.S. in G.P? Do they have music/P.E., sports, & special programs funded? I know that budget is always an issue, and I am wondering if public school services and class size are stretched to the limit. Is there any chance of the libraries reopening? No libraries doesn't speak well for the educational climate there. Otherwise, I have heard that G.P. is a beautiful place to live and we are looking into relocating there.

District 7 is in great shape, they get lots of $. THey have a performing arts theater like none you have ever seen at a high school level. Professional performances passing by on the I-5 stop and perform.
The sports facilities are amazing, they have an astro turf style football stadium, a basketball gym the Blazers could play in. Great soccer fields.
As to the libraries, all the school libraries are open for the summer, they have more than picked up the slack of the County library, and they are already paid for. Personally I think it was overdue, and my kids used the County library a lot. We have 5 addicted readers. Now they can go to the schools libraries and get books. They have better computers there too.
The parents are very involved in helping out at the different schools, we homeschool, but some of our friends that don't, speak highly of the schools.
Come check it out, see if it fits.

best wishes,

freedom

Freedom, thanks for the info. Do adults use the school libraries also?

Good question, I think it is for students only. I'll ask the Mrs...

I havn't needed it for yrs myself, for research (since google anyway), and I get books downloaded to my Ipod.
Sooooo, personally I don't need them, but I see that not everyone wants to curl up to a warm fire with their ipod.
We are getting a Barnes and Noble, it should open this fall.
And I have noticed that my kids book shelves are filling up, so I think they are buying them now more than going to the school libraries.
