Auckland grammar is a cool school by most standards it is a well regarded school by elders as well  but is it necessarily a good school.

i have been at grammar for years now and i remember my 3rd form year i was bullied by older kids and the homework was insane i had like 2 and a half hours of homework a night.  I was up to 12:00 at night sometimes, and then getting in trouble for doing in class.

Though in my 4th form year school started to get better and i stopped getting bullied mostly because i was in 4th form but still the homework seemed to start to dwiddle now and then but the pressure in exam time was still there. So much pressure at the school but once i started moving up the years school just kept getting better and better.
