Grove has historically scored highest on state standardized testing of the five public high schools in Redlands. Most Grove students score at or above statewide averages on California state standards tests. Montessori education is experiential and focuses on teaching the whole person, with a lot of cross-curricular instruction, and fits the Common Core model. Emphasis is placed on real-world application of knowledge and on enabling students to adapt the problem solving skills learned in the school environment to situations in the larger community. Grove High School encourages each student to complete 30 hours of community service and 40 hours of internship each year to further support their classroom experience. Grove has 15.75 full-time teachers and an average class size of 16 between the two campuses. In addition, in 2021-22, Grove employed 4 paraprofessionals to support special needs and low-performing students in their distance learning. In 2004, Grove added a middle school located on a 9-1/2 acre farm. The middle school serves 130 students in grades 7-9. The farm component embodies Maria Montessori's belief that children need to be outdoors and close to the land, to observe nature and to understand the origins of and learn respect for the food they eat, and to take care of something that is external to themselves. Grove's farm allows students to raise and care for goats, pigs, and chickens, and students grow fruit, flowers, and vegetables in the garden, greenhouse, and fields year-round. The agriculture electives provide students with an opportunity to raise animals and to experiment with different plants while learning about agricultural science. The nursery program was started in late 2019-20 The farm is also a science lab and is integrated into art, humanities and math classes, and provides a space for woodshop training. The middle school students, like their high school counterparts, are encouraged to perform 30 hours of community service and 40 hours of internship each year to provide experiential learning and to reinforce the idea that both they and the school are a part of the greater community. 0 0 0 2277385 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 59 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 CA X Connie Brown Grove High School 9097987831 200 Nevada St Redlands CA 92373 Andrew Christopherson Head of School 50 0 X 108970 0 0 Trevor Norton Trustee 5 0 X 0 0 0 Ryan Schavrien Member 10 0 X 0 0 0 Susan Blauth Member 5 0 X 0 0 0 Andrew Schadwinkel Board Chair 10 0 X 0 0 0 Mark Sigman Vice-Chair 5 0 X 0 0 0 MargaretAnn Harrison Secretary 5 0 X 0 0 0 A Jay Munoz Trustee 5 0 X 0 0 0 108970 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2972813 8379 0 2981192 161327 161327 0 0 161327 969 969 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3143488 162296 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 138165 69083 69082 0 0 0 0 0 1760743 1493584 267159 0 341784 266392 75392 0 175358 152873 22485 0 75506 52996 22510 0 4210 1610 2600 0 8664 0 8664 0 11859 0 11859 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 32411 28551 3860 0 3499 2096 1403 0 9421 5093 4328 0 31472 24044 7428 0 0 0 0 0 234837 12130 222707 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11449 10814 635 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26895 1500 25395 0 Graduation 2412 2412 0 0 Farm Program & Field Trips 36651 36651 0 0 Classroom Materials & Extracurriculars 31231 31231 0 0 Universal Meals Program 90653 86325 4328 0 0 0 3027220 2277385 749835 0 717066 1113047 0 0 0 0 901920 644343 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13365 15252 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8179 8179 1640530 1780821 61814 86908 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 61814 86908 X 0 0 0 0 1578716 1693913 1578716 1693913 1640530 1780821 116268 0 0 0 -1071 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 3754971 0 0 439663 171820 611483 3143488 0 0 0 3143488 3186513 0 61708 0 97585 159293 3027220 0 0 0 3027220 Schedule D, Part XI, Line 2d Schedule D, Part XII, Line 2b - XII 2b Grove's auditors anticipated that Grove would be receiving less in federal grant funding than accrued at the end of 2021-22.
