Overall a good experience except basketball. Id recommend for people who dont have character and follow the system
6/10/2025
I ultimately had a positive experience at Gainesville High School. The infrastructure at the school is in very bad shape and is poorly maintained. The bathrooms are often disgusting. However, there were some excellent teachers at the school, although many have left the school now so the quality of teachers may not be the same as it was in my experience. The Cambridge program is academically rigorous, so good for college.

GHS is a great school. As a sophomore in the Cambridge program, I feel challenged but not overwhelmed. There's a variety of interesting classes, electives, clubs, and sports. The faculty is friendly, reachable, and very helpful. The school is clean and well kept with the administrators pitching in t...
