I think that Garden Plain is just your average small town school. I think if your family comes from around the town and you have the right last name it would be a very good school for you especially If you are interested in joining their athletic program. For me I don't come from around her and the school doesn't really do much for me.

During my time at Garden Plain High School, I have really enjoyed the fact you pretty much know everybody. You may have never talked to each other but you still probably know them. Some other things are that the food has definitely improved since I first started here. Most of the teachers are nice or easygoing and I enjoy my classes with most of them.

Garden Plain is a small town with under a thousand residents, and this is where my school is located. Garden Plain High School has under two-hundred students, and we are a very tight-knit unit. We protect each other and we are closer to family than just classmates. Education is great because of the limited amount of students it is easier to get one-on-one attention/help.

Excellent overall. Elementary Principal is young and naive and trying too hard to prove himself. Teachers and all other leaders are excellent. A great place to learn and grow.
