This School’s Reviews

3.0 Senior

10/7/2024

Gardner High has been consistently missing all state benchmark standards for standardized testing, attendance, etc., and students scored well below average in both MCAS and SAT. More than half the schools' resources go into breaking up student fights and telling kids to behave, and the administration is inflexible and unaccommodating to students' learning needs.

2.0 Senior

6/25/2024

As a senior, I can say that this school cares very little about its students. Teachers watch over students like hawks. I'm only staying at this school because of the Early College program, which allows me to earn college credits in high school, and a nice arts program. Other than that, it's your typical average suburban high school.

I graduated from GHS is 2006 and was there 3 years. I feel the school adequately provided me with the means and knowledge to go on to college! While the school could use some updates (as mentioned in previous reviews), I feel that's not the most important. The teachers are passionate and really beli...
