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 am proud to say I am a student of Galen Park High school, The best attributes of the school are the amazing teachers, the resources, the administration staff, and the organizations. I've had a great experience at this high school so far, the only negative aspect are the most of the students. Many students aren't spirited and don't take pride in our school. Which can make negatives experiences for others.

Galena Park High School has many things to like: the helpful staff, the delicious food, and the overall campus accommodating every student's needs. While there may be a teacher who may not be the best personality-wise to their students, they can still be good overall teachers who help advance their students' overall academic success.
