Overall, I think that this school is a good place to learn. The worst part of the school is the pep assemblies, due to the fact that they take our seminar time. The best part is that there are plenty opportunities that you can explore there.

I transferred to Gardner-Edgerton High School at semester of my sophomore year. They were extremely welcoming. Aside from this, student and teacher morale is below poor.

Go somewhere else if you have any kinds of special needs for your kid. They don't care.

GEHS has excellent teachers, para's, counselors, staff and administration that truly care for the students and their daily success in and out of the classroom. My daughter is a junior and she loves going to GEHS. The school offers so many opportunities with academics, clubs and sports.
