GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I feel like the teachers and staff do the best they can with the circumstances we're under. We area in a lot of debt and I believe the GCCISD administration as a whole couldve done something to prevent it from the start. Now we have to "suffer" from burnt out a stressed teachers and larger classes.

It was a memorable experience. Made many fun memories and life time friends. However I do wish we had nicer restrooms in the main building. The restrooms there were very old and small. I constantly avoided going there at all times. The cafeteria food there for majority of my high school life was very bad and it was often crowded, meaning students had a hard time finding a place to sit.

They have a lot to offer for student and most teachers/administrators are very helpful. They could upgrade their utilities such as, water fountains and a better sign system because whenever we look for things we have to search for it instead of following signs and take time from our classes.

This is one of the worse schools I have ever been exposed to. Poor sportsmanlike behavior that is just acceptable, and no accountability for the students and their actions. Even the academics are a JOKE! It is really sad what some of our schools have turned into. They really should try remembering t...
