Thru is an abbreviated variation of through. They mean the same. Through is the proper spelling.
Great is better than good.
Grate is to shred (as in grated cheese).
Grate can also be a grid of bars (as in a sewer grate).

Ok, first off thru is not a word, it's a shortening of through as in a slang way of saying drive-thru. It doesn't really exist. Through however means a number of things, including I don't know how you're going to get through the school year with questions like these.
Oh and great means superb, good job or magnificent and godly. But grate means to grate cheese or a grate covers the storm drains

Thru is an abbreviation of through and is generally frowned upon by strict grammarians. Always use through.
Great and grate are different. Great as in wonderful or large. Grate is a noun used for (can't think of another description here) a sieve thing--like a furnace grate. It allows air or whatever through and is not solid.
Its great you are leaving that school.
