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 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.
