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.

I quite enjoy how small the school is because you get to have a personal education. When the teachers actually know you, then it helps the student feel supported. The only thing that I would change would be to have more of a push towards positive attitudes at school, for a lot of students did not have positive attitudes.

Small class sizes with teachers who care a lot about their students. The teachers and faculty have close relationships with the students and it helps the students grow. With it being such a small school everyone knows everyone.

The GMG school district is amazing the school is full of uplift spirit and everyone is proud to be a wolverine. The sports may not be as good as other schools but the academics are top notch. The teachers are preparing us for real life college experiences. My favorite teacher is Mr. Samek, he teaches the science for 7th grade to 12th grade. He teaches everyone like a college professor, because he knows we can make it anywhere if we do the work now.
