Until 1969 the school was the " Volksschule an der Diesterwegstraße", then until 1994 the community secondary school Diesterwegstraße. It has been a comprehensive school since 1994. On July 21, 2004 the name of the comprehensive school Duisburg-Marxloh was renamed to Herbert-Grillo-Gesamtschule . Students with a migration background are clearly in the majority. In the school year 2017/2018 the school will be attended by approx. 700 students. The school is 4 to 5 classes.

Educational offers

The classes in grades 5 to 10 are taught. In the upper level, the school cooperates with the Emschertal comprehensive school and the Elly-Heuss-Knapp-Gymnasium. The school is an all-day school where disabled and non-disabled pupils can learn together. In the afternoon there are working groups, musical, artistic and sporting lessons. The teachers work in class teams. The class teams consist of around 10 core teachers who cover most of the lessons in a class. The contact between students, teachers and parents is particularly intense. The self-reliant, team-oriented and independent learning of the students is of particular importance.

The school receives special financial support from the Herbert Grillo Foundation Gabriela Grillo .
