GreatSchools Rating
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.

Galax High School had been an overall decent experience for me. As I'm going into my senior year I have noticed good improvement since freshman year.

it is a good school the good community surrounding it. We recently had a school shooting scare and his school handled it very quickly. I feel it handled the situation the proper way.

I would like a better selection of courses and more help towards college prep. Overall, not a very average high school experience.
