All the teachers are super nice, and they care about the students and their success in life. The teachers are friends with the students and since it is a small school everyone knows almost everyone.

Galileo Magnet High School is not a horrible school in any aspects. I've had ups and downs here. One of the worst parts was probably covid year (freshmen year) they were more focused on the hybrid kids and less on the virtual it was a very hard year for me. The good things that I got out of this school were the teacher and student relationships. The teachers are very caring and understanding while I also met some of my life long friends. Something I would change about Galileo is the sports and clubs they don't have very many extracurricular activities that you can involve yourself in to help with college admission.

I love Galileo Magnet High School. The classes are small and the teachers really care about their students. The classes they offer are advanced are higher. I started track my Freshman year and started Cross Country in my Sophomore year with indoor and outdoor track. This school has offered me so much more opportunity then the other high schools in the area could have offered me. I feel like they have really prepared me for College.
