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.

I have very mixed feelings about Garner High school. I went there for 3 of my 4 High school years and I can tell you that they have some things worse than other schools, amd some things that are better. For example, the racial divide is awful and the political climate from this years election has li...
