Gilmer High School was the best school that I've ever attended. I was majorly involved in sports and agriculture. We had the top athletes and agriculture students in the state. From education to the community itself was the overall best experience of my life.

I have 3 graduates, one sophomore, and two more on their way to this high school. I will happily debate anyone with a negative review of this high school. This is a good school, with good staff, and in a good town. This school like any other gives any student what they work for. Their band program f...

What a shame on the negative reviews. I would submit that the parents obviously did not even go to the school as my Senior DID get prep for SAT and a ton of advice and a great plan for college. She starts college Fall 2017 on a full ride scholarship- as a parent I took the time to stay informed and...

Do not expect your high schooler to be properly prepared for college at GHS. The teachers and administration are purely interested in students getting passing test scores. There is no college prep, SAT prep, building of good study habits. It amazes me how many students graduate from GHS without lear...

I feel like GHS has really been headed in the right direction for the past two years. The teachers and students really seem to have a common goal and are working to be the best they can be. Classes are more structured and the student body really seems to understand what is expected of them.
