Probably how the students keep the place they leave it really dirty all around the campus.Also I would also like to see how they go over school safety more a lot of times theirs fights breaking out.But they do a good job over all with academics and school activities.

Loved my time at Garner. Even though there were a lot of fights and drama, I ignored it and I didn't really care. The food was not good, but if you are a junior or senior, you do have a few different options. Loved the teachers, especially Bloms and Duffy!!!! I can't wait to be back sometime during homecoming festivities or parades! I did not really feel safe sometimes because of the fights, but I didn't let that bother me.

The greatest parts of my experience at Garner High were the vast extracurriculars, the in-depth IB curriculum, and the culture in certain spaces of the school. The downsides were the lack of diversity, limited support from the administration, and a lack of support for individual clubs.

If you are in IB, GMHS might be worthwhile. If not, good luck. The principal was largely unknown to the students and has not created a positive climate at all. The morale was terrible among the teachers. The administration repeatedly set policies, just to ignore them and then create another one. Und...

Teachers aren’t that great :/ a lot of them don’t help you when you ask and then go and complain about how you should be teaching yourself the material. And then they continue to complain about test scores. Also the teachers couldn’t care less about your mental health. The only one that cares is the...
