Overall, Galt High School isn't a bad school. Although there can be many improvements made, the positives in our programs offered to us far outweigh the drawbacks, such as lack of college readiness.

Classes with teachers is good only one class freshman year was hard with a teacher because we only learned off a book and website with little help from the teacher.Every year after freshman year was good same with good teachers and good amount of class work with helpful staff. Good campus with a welcoming environment with lots of character making me feel more at peace when sitting on campus during lunch or walking around looking at all the different trees and plants.

This school honestly concerns me. The staff will make hundreds of promises and follow up on none of them. The school is unclean to the point where it would look like an exaggerated set piece to some. Students have no say in their own education. Don't get me started on how poorly they handle mentally...
