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.

I believe Garrett High School is a very safe environment. In my experience Garrett is a great school to get an education at. the only downside of garret is that they are very focused on sports and that takes some of the attention off of the academics.

The teachers are great and adapt to the best ways their students learn. We have great resources whenever needed. The teachers try their best to make sure we have anything we need to learn the best for us. Some things I would change about Garrett would be the school involvement. Since we are such a small school not a lot of students come to sporting events or activities. If our school pushed it more during the day I feel that the students will get more involved.

Garrett High School has been a very enjoyable atmosphere to be in. Switching schools my senior year had me nervous, but being at Garrett has been nothing but smooth. I have done great in all my classes and I feel that I am being better prepared for my future. The teachers care for their students and are always willing to help them out.

My kids were previously in the Fort Way...

I went on to become a high school teacher of 37 years and a substitute even today, but of all the schools I have served,...
