GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

A small school like Garretson is a great environment for any kid. You get to develop personal relationships with teachers and know all of your classmates personally.

The academics at our school are of great quality. Teachers and counsellors help students create an acceptable schedule towards the students needs. There are many studying options. Studying is an easy task with the use of technology given to us. Teachers are willing to give after school assistance with our lessons if needed.

There are lots of friendly students to come across at our school. The diversity isn't as high in our school as most schools. Peer pressure isn't a huge problem, but there's been a few little minor incidents. Overall, our school is fairly minimal towards diversity.
