The area isn't too safe including the school, but those that try their best to succeed, will. Good teacher although many are quitting because of the students, the fights, and the unwillingness to learn. Not a totally bad school though, good event and such just lots of fights.

It's really good. The performing arts programs such as drama or music express is really good and the competitions and productions have been amazing. The teachers also are really good when it comes to education

Garfield Heights High School was good overall. Something's that I would say need to be improved on is student morale. Since half the time, students already don't want to be there, giving them things to do, so one attendance is good and two so they don't resort to making something to do for themselves like fighting.
