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.

My overall experience with Galt High school is that its a very involved school. They care about all their students and they thrive to help everyone on campus. Some things i've noticed about this school is that they push students to the best of their abilities. Like myself, i never really tried my best in my classes freshmen year but my amazing teachers talked to me and made me realize the importance of an education. The food is great and the teachers are better.

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.

I like the people in the school. My overall experience in this High School was great, and I am happy to be part of it. I'd say the only bad part of it is the lunch lines and the school decided to take out German class.

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...
