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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Overall, I've thoroughly enjoyed my time at GCHS with the faculty, sports, and academics. However, there are improvements needed with diversity. There are instances of systemic racism that are not being handled appropriately among the school and more attention should be brought to it and solutions found to advocate for students of all colors.

Gibson County Highschool has given me a very average but good college experience. Being that it is a small, close-knit highschool, everyone knows everyone and that makes it easy to be involved in activities. I believe I will be prepared for college from attending high school here.
