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.

Galt High has some electives that are pretty useful to people in the sense that they can prepare themselves for certain careers like diesel technicians and IT technicans.

Personally in my experiences that I've had at galt high school there is a lot of variety at the school, I mean some can be nice and others can be just extremely rude, however love the education I got here,it' where I grew up and I am grateful for the experiences the school has given me

Recently graduated and overall Galt High is a very great school. A lot of the teachers are willing to give you their time if you have something going on at home and i'm very grateful for those teachers. Mrs. Beckett, one of the BEST academy teachers. is one of the most nice and caring teachers i've ever met and I'm very grateful I got to chose her to say my name at graduation. She's noticed some of my days were up and down and is willing to help me get through whatever I was going through. There are many teachers that I would love to mention but here's the part where I would like the school to change. If I were to choose one thing to change, is the bathrooms. I'm not too sure about the boys bathrooms but the girl's bathrooms, I would love to see more soap, more toilet paper, more products for the girls like pads and tampons. we're always running out of everything in the arts bathroom. I get that kids smoke and vape but there's 4 bathrooms for us kids but only 2 bathrooms are unlocked.

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...
